E) Plastic wallets
F) Suspended Animation
>If you selected D, please describe this case in no more than 3 lines. If selecting F, please re-read the question as this answer is not relevent<
6) A genre is something a games developer has to think about carefully - which genre will their next Fifa game fit into? Seriously, if one console had only games in one genre, what genre what you prefer?
