  7. Next Homework Assignment Take the Gender/Casual Rubric, And apply it to 2 games: 1 game where the game does well 1 game where the game does NOT do well You’re encouraged to find *any* game (up through ‘M’ rating), including/especially current console games (i.e., 360/PS3/Wii/etc) Online, 2D games are fine, though  CSS 290 7

  11. Grading Direct link to resources This should be a link to a page that contains the info about the source, and includes a link to actually download it. You need to specify this directly enough that it’s very very clear exactly what to download/look at. For YoYo Games, including both a link to the overall page, and then a direct link to the download, is a good idea CSS 290 11
