The first game I played was Pro evolution soccer the characteristics of this game are skill, knowledge of the sport itself and the application of this on computer format. It is a competitive game as you have to beat your opponents where as in a game such as solitaire it is more a game of knowledge and technique but not really a competition. Wittgenstein theory of family resemblances suggests that certain characteristics, in this case games, will differ yet they still satisfy the title ‘game’ in there objective to interact with a user. Pro Evolution soccer has very few similarities to a game such as solitaire even in the simplest forms like the fact solitaire you are cards and pro evolution is you playing an active character kicking a ball there is no similarity whatsoever in the role you are playing in these to games so it almost feels weird that they are both classed with the same title as game. This makes Wittgenstein’s theory of family resemblances work well when trying to describe how different games can be and make it quite easy to relate your opinion to this theory. However after a while of playing pro evolution soccer I did get rather bored and found that this game was definitely not for me.
