Mysterious aura captured on camera
Hello gaming photographers, maybe you identify with that feeling of discomfort that a video game has caused you at some point in your life, either by the most common a direct screamer that causes terror... But most of all I refer to those places where it seems that something is present, however, we can not see or hear it, just sense and have the feeling that something terrible will happen even though it is not.
I think that is why some video games so immersive leave you marked with scenarios, places or characters that somehow have what I usually call "mysterious aura".
So beyond being a top of photographs of different video games, I want to show you how through a simple photograph you can see an atmosphere that causes strange sensations.
Starting first of with Call of Duty MW2, if perhaps you wonder what aura of mystery causes this video game that is based mostly on shooting here and there and a story full of twists. Well, that is indeed what this game is all about, a chaotic war, but... In those moments where everything is calm, and the game gives you a break, is where the magic happens.
Even though it's very small, that's where you can appreciate your surroundings more calmly and that's where it has a reality check, because you leave the role of an almost invincible soldier aside.
And you get to see that destruction, pain, suffering and blood that you left behind. That happened to me when I finished part of the campaign in which the White House was attacked, that place that looks almost untouchable, now is such a contrasting scenario that it made my skin crawl.
Exploring the ruined streets while looking for some survivors we can even notice that some enemies are also looking for their friends in the rubble, however, the game gives us the option to evade them without being seen or mow them down, letting us get carried away by revenge and anger.
It is one of my favourite parts of this title without a doubt, because there you realize that at the end of the day we are all human and in a conflict of this type the only thing that differentiates us are the colours of a flag, a side and the orders of the superiors that from the security of their bases control the board of this game. And basically we will be able to see this throughout the campaign with General Shepherd, that controversial character who only orders and is never in the front line.
 Changing titles, we have another video game in which I could also capture that inexplicable mystery from the first moment. And that is BioShock, and I assure you that any of the titles you try will be an experience that will mark you.
Just getting to that bluff in the middle of nowhere with two strangers. Between lightning and thunder, you put yourself in a strange situation.
Then entering the bluff, we find a tortured man in a chair with a sign that says “Do not disappoint us”.
The latter, through a portal, appear in another totally different place where religion is so present that it becomes mysterious as the citizens seem to be possessed or blinded by the pastors and their orders under the word of God.
 And to close on a high note we have the last pictures of a game, you may know for Its difficult to master gameplay, since it is about survival in a place where the last resort of the story will be to die. Yes, as simple as it sounds, that's how much you can endure in these extreme climates.
Starting the adventure in the middle of nowhere, after choosing your character, the game leaves you there with no rules or objectives to follow, you will only count on your intuition to satisfy your needs and extend your existence.
And that's what this game shines in, even if you are completely in the dark under a fog that is getting thicker and thicker. While the strong wind warns you that you don't have much time left, and you must find a way to take shelter.
Unless you live in a constantly freezing and extremely cold place, (and I doubt it very much), I think most of us are so alien to these situations and only in this game I have managed to feel in that experience where survival is the first and nothing else until the time comes that I can not stand it any more and lose everything I was fighting for creating my own story that connecting each player has something in common and that is death.
