Game design is the art of applying design and aesthetics to create a game for entertainment or for educational, exercise, or experimental purposes.

The German response to the modest initial successes of the Allied tanks was the A7V, which, like some other tanks of the period, was based on caterpillar tracks of the type found on the American Holt Tractors. Initially unconvinced that tanks were a s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
