Senior Project Update
1. I am playing through the game Medal of Honor: Warfighter, while keeping a log and taking notes on attractive or unattractive features.
2. The article "What game journalism needs: more honesty, fewer standards" this article is significant because it made some good points about how the issues associated with games journalism are smaller than they seem and have solutions. This means that I can shift my focus to more of how a game is reviewed and less upong the issue of honesty.

Science Fair Proposal
1. My topic is Video Game Journalism
2. Some people believe that game reviews do not matter or have no bearing on consumer's
"If a great review meant great sales, then a game called "Ico" would sell as well as "Grand Theft Auto," and the last 50 Cent game would have tanked. But that's not how it works."
Totilo, Stephen. "How Video Game Reviews Affect What You Play." - Music, Celebrity, Artist News. Viacom, 29 May 2008. Web. 14 Feb. 2013. <http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1588303/what-video-game-reviews-mean-developers.jhtml>.
3.If a game has at least two 'good' reviews (6/10 or more) then it will make significantly more revenue than games which received 'bad' reviews.
4. I will search economical charts on video games sales and reference scores of popular game review sites (such as IGN or Destructoid) to see how much each game made in relation to their scores. Then finally, I will draw a conclusion from that data.
5.Behavioral/Social Science

Independent Component 1 Plan Approval
1.I plan to play entirely through a video game and write a review on that game.
2.To meet the 30 hours I will play through the game as thoroughly as possible. While taking notes on striking points or problems with the game. Then I will write a review detailing my experience and my final thoughts on the game.
3. My independent study component relates to my working EQ because it helps me to understand what it is like to properly review a game. With that knowledge I can work towards ensuring fair and informative reviews of games in the future.
