	EndDraw	Ends the drawing of a frame. This method is preceeded by calls to Draw and BeginDraw.
	EndRun	Called after the game loop has stopped running before exiting.
	Finalize	Allows a Game to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before garbage collection reclaims the Game.
	Initialize	Called after the Game and GraphicsDevice are created, but before LoadContent.
	LoadContent	Called when graphics resources need to be loaded.
	MemberwiseClone	(Inherited from Object.)
	OnActivated	Raises the Activated event. Override this method to add code to handle when the game gains focus.
	OnDeactivated	Raises the Deactivated event. Override this method to add code to handle when the game loses focus.
	OnExiting	Raises an Exiting event. Override this method to add code to handle when the game is exiting.
	ShowMissingRequirementMessage	This is used to display an error message if there is no suitable graphics device or sound card.
	UnloadContent	Called when graphics resources need to be unloaded. Override this method to unload any game-specific graphics resources.
