Thief anyone? Deus Ex? OBLIVION??? Deus Ex and Oblivion please! Wizardry in Oblivion is the most fun path, in my opinion. And in Deus Ex I always chose small weapons and technological skills, but it's hard to pick wrong in that game, unless you pick swimming, haha. Deus Ex still remains one of my all-time favorite PC games, especially with the high definition texture packs. |

I also love the Crash Bandicoot games on the Playstation, up to and including The Wrath of Cortex on Playstation 2. Anything after that is garbage. EXCUSE ME Crash Bandicoot: Warped? not good? I'll grant that after Naughty Dog left the series died, but... Really? I think that's about as good as 1 and 2. Tiger-racing was awesome, so was that dinosaur. And the gameplay was pretty similar to that of Crash Bandicoot 2. I was always so annoyed I couldn't get 105% in that game :3 I can barely remember Heroes II, except for the Green Dragons that had to be upgraded twice to become Black Dragons, and that cost a fortune, but was overpowered as hell. I always loved barbarians in Heroes III, and the raw strength of the Behemoths. As well as the gloominess of Dungeon. I was always determined to have one hero and make that as strong as I possibly could, so I rarely got any more heroes, so that my main hero could get all the power-ups, and all of the army. |

At the moment I'm playing through Dragon Age: Origins as an irreligious dwarven noble. I have Sten calling me ser, and Morrigan calling me...well...dirty things. I'm also expiriencing the wonders of Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia on hard difficulty.
As for the past...I'm fond of World of Warcraft, Exile 3 (and nothing else produced by Spiderweb software), Final Fantasy 5, Call of Cthulhu, Alex Kidd, Half Life, and Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall. And Braid.
How could I forget Dungeon Keeper. Greatest game.
Oh, and Medieval.
Damn.

I love that game to no end. after Crash Team Racing everything died. |

Just wrote an amateurish poem, inspired by Dragon Age. I feel I may write more; it's a very good story. As the surgeon wields his scalpel
I watch Daveth, on the floor
His writhings, like a serpent
Now reminding me of yours
So tell me, oh Grey Warden
When you (draw that stubby knife)
Do you offer them to Duncan
Or my broken-hearted wife? |

Thats a sport. Sport is anathema to video games, it's why we invented them in the first place!  |

For the record, I'd like to state that Sonic the Hedgehog was way better than Mario. The games had better characters, more attitude, and an environmental message to boot. Mario, on the other hand, is nothing but a stereotypical Italian plumber who gets high on mushrooms and beats up cute little turtles, all to save some high-maintenance princess who isn't even all that attractive. The fact that Mario surmounted Sonic in the end just shows how little people take videogames seriously.
Also, if anyone has PS3, my PSN:ID is Anchor-5. Feel free to add me, I don't play that often, but when I do it'd be nice to have someone to play with. The only online games I have are Killzone 2, Metal Gear Solid 4, Call of Duty 4, and Army of Two, and all the people I meet in those games are weird and unfriendly.

Video games, my first love.
Ahem, okay so, I first got into video games very very young when my dad still had our old NES. Although the first game I ever played by myself was Super Mario 64 when it firs came out. Favourite series ever: Legend of Zelda. I am proud to say that I finished (almost) all the official games of the series. I never finished Link's Awakening and I didn't acquire Spirit Tracks on the DS yet. It took me two years to finish Majora's Mask because I was scared of the moon (and I still am, that thing is giving me nightmares since the game came out).
Right now, I have a N64, a Gamecube, a Wii, a DS, a Gameboy Advance and a Gameboy Advance SP, and an Xbox 360. My computer is crap so I can't play games on it and I was never a big fan of Sony's Playstation, although I tink I might purchase one next year.
These days, I am not playing a lot, frankly, and when I play, I usually put on Rock Band 2 or the Beatles: Rock Band. I also have a biig problem when it comes to video games. I usually never finish them. I can play a game for hours straight, but when I sense that it's almost finished, I usually don't play it again for a few months, maybe even a year, until I bring myself to finish it. Examples include Metroid Prime 3 (took 4 months before coming back to it), Banjo-Kazooie on 360 (it's been a year and I didn't finish it yet), or Fallout 3 (I have to start it again anyways, but I never took the time).
Also, (I know it's illegal), but I used to download loads and loads of Roms and Emulators. I stopped that when I realised I do not have enough space on my computer for video games AND music. I should start again once though. =/
What else. Uh, I never finish RPG cause I never had the time, I wasn't a fan of shooters, but I am starting to like them a lot. I never play online, cause I don't have any money (yet xD). And I was missing only one trophy on Super Smash Bros. Melee when my memory card crapped on me. I never played that game again since. =_=

The original sonic sprite (not that weird new one with the weirdly long skinny legs) was a design classic like helvetica or... that curvy chair from the sixties... I remember Sonic being my hero when I was a kid in the early nineties - I really did want to be just like him. I miss the days when "attitude" was such a desirable quality. Oh and the music was amazing too. Spring Yard Zone from the first game is probably the best VG theme I've ever heard. So sad how Sega ended up shoving loads of gimmicks and stupid characters into the franchise. Desperate times for the company I guess. |
