Pokémon Platinum edition
Pokémon Platinum was the first ever video game I ever played, both the game and the Nintendo DS that i played it on were my first introduction to video games as a whole. The concept of collecting and naming a team of Pokémon that were mine and unique to me was incredibly interesting to me as a child and ultimately spurred my long lasting interesting in video games. Game Freak 2009, Pokémon Platinum, video game, Nintendo DS, The Pokémon Company. -
Halo 4
Halo 4 was the first video game I played on the Xbox 360 it was my first introduction to the genre of first person shooters and first person games as a whole, the concept which blew my mind the first time I played it. I remember spending hours playing through the game's campaign with my older brother where we both found a key interest in the games setting and story leading us to play every other game in the series. 343 Industries, Halo 4, video game, Xbox 360, Microsoft Studios -
Destiny
Coming from the same developers as the original Halo series which i had fell in love with, I quickly grew an interest in Destiny. What fascinated me most was the always online nature of the game and the inherent cooperation with other players as i had no other experience with online gaming. As it was my first experience with online multiplayer it would go on to form my taste for the genre of multiplayer games entirely. Bungie 2014, Destiny, video game, Xbox One, Activison -
Sea of Thieves
In my opinion Sea of Thieves is one of the absolute best games to play with friends, an online game with a large world and sandbox built around creating fun and memorable moments. Playing this game with friends is definitely one of my most enjoyable experiences in gaming. Rare 2018, Sea of Thieves, videogame, Xbox One, Xbox Game Studios -
Hollow Knight
Being my favourite game of all time Hollow Knight's gameplay, art and music captured me instantly and made me view games in a much more critical sense. Being developed here in Adelaide this game sparked my interest in pursuing art ultimately leading me to visual effects. Team Cherry 2017, Hollow Knight, video game, Xbox one, Team Cherry -
Hades
Another Indie title much like Hollow Knight Hades further spurred my interest in art especially that of video games, due to its absolutely beautiful art direction. Besides its amazing art Hades excellent story telling and dialogue combined with its inspirations from Greek mythos made it one of my most memorable gaming experiences. Supergiant Games 2021, Hades, video game, Xbox Series X, Supergiant Games -
Elden Ring
My first experience into the "soulslike" subgenre Elden Ring was an unforgettable experience. Its challenging difficulty made for some amazing moments of celebration upon defeating a tough boss. As well as its variance in gameplay making it extremely enjoyable to replay and is to this day my most replayed game. FromSoftware 2022, Elden Ring, video game, Xbox Series X, Bandai Namco Entertainment -
