European Computer Games
The computer game industry may just be the next Hollywood and is one of the biggest growth industries out there, continually performing better and better each year with more cinematic graphics and bigger budgets and more family oriented games all becoming more possible as the technology improves. As such it’s highly beneficial for any country to get involved and thus it’s no surprise that there are some great European computer games out there and while Japan and America are arguably the industry leaders, there are enough European computer games to ensure that the continent has a strong presence in the market. Following are just a few of the best known European computer games.
Rayman: If European computer games had a mascot, Rayman would arguably be the man (?) for the job. With a highly European flavor that makes you feel a bit like you’re in an impressionist’s painting, and with a certain charm , this is also a highly popular free-roaming series that has persisted through various console generations. Originally the character’s lack of limbs was designed to make him easier to animate more fluidly, but today it is just a unique character trait that makes him instantly recognizable.
Fable: Fable is designed by Peter Molyneux, a well known British computer game designer who is also responsible for the games Dungeon Keeper, Populous and Black and White along with his current production company Lionhead Studios. Fable is one of the more ambitious European computer games providing a huge sandbox world in which you can get married, apply for jobs and do many of the things you would do in real life. Like other European computer games it also has a very distinctly European feel and is set in a fantasy world that takes heavy cues from European history.
Anarchy Online: Anarchy online is a MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role playing game) like World of Warcraft that was developed in Norway. In many ways it was a highly groundbreaking venture featuring some of the first in game advertising, a great science fiction setting and ‘dynamic quests’. A great step forward for European computer games.
Angry Birds: An example of how European computer games can have a truly global appeal and take the world by storm. Again featuring some quirky characters and kitsch situations, this game developed by Rovio in Finland, was calculated carefully to be a game with the broadest appeal possible and a highly addictive gameplay. The strategy was a success and the game quickly became a the top selling game on iTunes and Android demonstrating just how lucrative the European computer games market really can be – and what a powerful tool these mobile platforms are for developers.

‘Angry birds’ is definitely one of the most played European computer games. I have installed it to my computer but also on my iphone. I really love it. It is one of my favorite European computer games. You can become addicted if you start playing it.
I’m not a big fan of European computer games or any kind of games. But angry birds captivated me. There are even commercials with angry birds. It is the only one from all these European computer games I like to play. The rest are unknown to me.
I didn’t hear about any of these European computer games. I guess I don’t have the proper age to play European computer games anymore. I’m too old for this. I barely know how to use the internet. You learn harder when you are old.
My kids are crazy about these European computer games. They are fighting for the computer. I do not agree with the time they waste playing some stupid European computer games, but I don’t know what to do. They don’t understand. These games are like a drug.
Anarchy was one of my favorite European computer games. A few months ago I was addicted to it. These European computer games can become like drugs. I recommend parents to not let their kids to start playing this kind of games. European computer games are a way of wasting time.
There are other European computer games more entertaining than these ones. But from all your European computer games, ‘Angry birds’ is the most recreational. And it is also my favorite. I truly love playing it. You can become addicted in a short time.
I have played all these European computer games. They are all great. I have a lot of fun playing them. My favorite is Anarchy. It is one of the best European computer games.
I’m not a big fan of European computer games. But my son is. He likes Anarchy very much. I allowed him to play this European computer game for an hour every day. But he always stays much more.
My kids aren’t so interested in European computer games. They like more watching cartoons and playing in the park. I guess I’m lucky that they do not stay hours in front of a computer for playing some European computer games that do not teach them anything. Thanks God for this!
My son is exactly like this kid in the picture. He is crazy about European computer games. When he comes home from school this is his favorite activity: playing European computer games. This is his hobby…I do not know how to convince him to stop playing so many games.
