INDIVIDUAL GAME VS TEAM GAME

There are many different games on the market. Some are individual games, for 1 player, like The Legend of Zelda. Some are for multiplayer like Counterstrike, where team work among the players is very important to achieve the game objective. So which type of game is better? Team or individual games?



A person who plays individual games is more likely to be introverted. They would prefer to work on their own to achieve their gaming objective. Single player games would usually have interesting storylines or graphics and media output that would keep the gamer thrilled for hours. Also, they like the fact that they are in control of their own destiny. For games like Need for Speed, the gamer is in complete control whether he wins or loses the race. If he were to lose the race he can have no complaints. However, in team games, the gamer may be highly skilled but may lose out in competitions in the end due to the incompetence of his/her team mates.

You're The Reason Why You Lost!

For team games, the key word to success is co-operation. Co-operation among gamers is vital in team games if success were to be achieved. In team games, 1 man is an island. No matter how skilled or capable he is, he cannot win the war on his own. However when teamed up with equally skilled players, they can work together to achieve their objective. Games like this are the same as sports, major companies and organization where team work and co-operation at all levels is required for success. Then the method of delegating the gaming responsibility, such as which player does what at which time, will be decisive in team games.

Now Do You Get It? No Solo-ing Pls!

For me personally, i prefer both individual and team based because both has it own unique and advantages between each other. If i wanted to be *uhukGoduhuk* i will play individual game where else if i wanted to be *uhukHerouhuk* i will play team based game with my *uhukNoobuhuk* friends. But there is no right or wrong choice of which game to play, but a matter of preference. Therefore dear readers, which types of games do you prefer? Is it individual games which you are in control of your destiny; or team games where you learn the art of communicating and co-operation?
