Spyro The Dragon
Although this game came out almost 10 years before I was born, this was one of my dads favourite games to play, leading me to watch him play it as I grew up. I played this game on the Playstation 1 and it was the first ever video game that I played.

Minecraft
Minecraft is the game that I would play with my friends when we would go to each others houses and just lose track of time completely because the opportunities within the game were endless.

Skate 3
Skate 3 was the first game I ever played on my dads Playstation 3. This game was the first 'Violent' game that I played which introduced me to open world games which I later went on to play a lot more with games such as GTA V, Assassins Creed Unity & etc. Although this game came out in 2010, I did not start playing it until 2012.

Marvel's Spider-Man Video game
Marvel's Spider-Man is my all time favourite open world game. With all the hype around Spider-Man and the MCU, this game was highly anticipated and when it came out I bought it straight away.
