10:30 am Snack/Guided Game Play – players play one exergame in depth for at least 20 minutes. Take notes, and be ready to answer questions about the following:
1- Interface – How easy is it to use the game, and to navigate where you want to be?
2- Narrative – Is there a storyline? Does it affect the game?
3- Controllers – are they user friendly, could they be better?
4- Graphics – Good or Bad and why?
5- Challenge/Flow & Feedback – a good game increases in difficulty as the player increases in skill. It also gives regular feedback to the game to let him/her know how he/she is doing. How does the game increase challenge and provide feedback?
