Just talk about some of you favorite video games. Some of my favorite are Skyrim,Mass Effect 3 , and Bioshock

My favorite games would have to be the Mass Effect series, GTA 4 (My favorite), COD 4, Mafia 2, Madden Series, The Assassin's Creed series, and Saints Row: The Third.

I especially liked GTA 4 because it was one of the first games where I grew attached to the characters. The plot was fantastic, it finally allowed me to choose what happened (if only a little), the physics engine was awesome, multiplayer  was amazing, and it was overall a pretty badass game.

I don't really like the COD series because all it really is is just a map pack with a different campaign. Last time I checked I had over a month of online gameplay of COD 4 and that was only public matches. I used to be a huge gamer.

Mass Effect was amazing because I hated being told what to do and who to shoot. I finally made an impact on the story for once.

The Assassin's Creed games are always good. I don't really care for the multiplayer though. The game always combines amazing combat with an even better plot.

SR3 was good too. I thought the plot and length were let downs but the sheer craziness of it got me hooked.

I know I'm kind of a hypocrite for liking the Madden Series after what I said about COD but I stick by it. Madden is just good clean fun with a laggy online play that gets really annoying at times.

Mafia 2 was very good. Like GTA, I actually cared about my character. The plot was solid and while the story was linear, some missions included ways for you to choose your own way to do things. What really shined bright though was the wanted system. I always get pissed at how I can change cars in GTA and the cops automatically know I switched even though none of them saw. Mafia 2 got rid of that problem though.

The Assassin's Creed series, Mafia 2 are also some of my favorites.

I like the civilization games and WoW. I've also gotten really into a game called Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale.

Civilization IV+Mods, Skyrim, Black&White 1-2, Bioshock, Spore, Ceasar III & Pharaoh, Warcraft III+expansion, SSBB, Halo CE(original xbox), and that's all I can think of right now.

Most of mine are from around 5 years ago because that was pretty much the height of gaming obsession. It's quieted down a lot but I still pop in a game every now and then... Anyway, these are my favorites...

Bully - I love the whole idea of the game and free roam environment just makes it that much more amazing. I own the Ultimate Edition which came with an actual dodgeball that you can blow up and play with. Pretty awesome.

Max Payne and Max Payne II: The Fall of Max Payne - Two amazing games that play out like a film noir. I just love it and bask in the environment every time I pop it in.

GTA: Vice City and GTA: San Andreas - Two classics. You can't go wrong. A big piece of my childhood was wasted playing these two.

BioShock - My favorite Ps3 game. Again, I love the environment. The whole 50's style set in a futuristic environment is just so creative and amazing. Nothing like that game.

The Darkness - Love the gameplay and the story. Mob lifestyle boiled in fantasy, shooter water. So great. Can play it for hours, to this day.

Infamous - It's not the best game, but extremely fun nonetheless. Love the idea of being an ordinary guy and then one day just turning into something extraordinary. Like a sick ass superhero. Really fun game,

The Movies - My favorite PC game ever. I was extremely obsessed when I was 14 or 15 and wouldn't leave my desktop. I'm a film major now, so it definitely helped me hone my skills in a way.

Rome: Total War - My second favorite PC game. I have a little obsession with Medieval era Rome and the various rulers. Kind of a history buff, and this game actually taught me to strategize like a Roman general would have had to. Very interesting, fun game.

Red Dead Revolver - Just a really fun game. It's from a sentimental part of my life, and kind of shepherded me toward the Western genre of films (which I'm also in love with). So I think I owe a lot to this game. Spent a lot of time trying to beat it, as I remember. I love the horror aspect of it as well.

Manhunt - Just a sick, sick, sick game that I played at way too young of an age, looking back on it. I just remember being in love with it though. Sick love, but still love.

Condemned: Criminal Origins - This should be pretty high on the list, but I'm just listing them as they come to mind. Very interesting, insightful, scary, fun, immersive game. Horror gaming at it's finest. The Survival Horror genre is probably my favorite.

I loved the movies too, the radio alone was enough to make it one of my favourite games.

Yeah, The Movies was really a one of a kind deal. I was so sad when they decided to take down the online community back in like 09. It was my dream to be on the home page (where all the best reviewed films were showcased) but, sadly that never happened. I was so hard on myself about it, but I could never churn out something that everyone loved. But I guess it all stems from my hatred of Blockbuster films and my adoration of independent ones. Oh well...

I remember Manhunt, I never got to play it while my parents were around because they wouldn't let me. I had to stay up until they went to sleep. The only reason we kept it was because my dad loved it so much.

Oh and how could I forget about Fifa '08? My friends and I would play for hours and hours and hours on end. I'm still pretty slick at it. I play every once in a while, but for some reason I never bought any game past 08. I guess I'm kind of afraid of the new control system they developed since then.
