Crash Bandicoot (Playstation)
The original Crash Bandicoot game released in 1996. This was one of the first video games I had ever played, and I was so excited to play it on my Playstation. Crash Bandicoot is a game that holds a special place in my heart because I can't remember a time when I wasn't excited to play it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crash_Bandicoot_(video_game) -
The Simpsons: Hit & Run (Xbox)
The Simpsons: Hit & Run was released in 2003 for the original Xbox console. This game gave me an insight into open world experiences for the first time. I was amazed at how the developers could make a game with such freedom. I spent hours upon hours playing Hit & Run, and if I had the opportunity, I would play it again. This game is definitely one of my favourite games of all time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Simpsons:_Hit_%26_Run -
Finding Nemo (Xbox)
I had such great memories playing Finding Nemo, a game released for the Xbox and Playstation 2 in 2003. After watching the Finding Nemo movie, I realised that I really enjoyed the plot of the story, so once I obtained the video game version, I couldn't stop playing. I have so many fond memories of playing as Nemo, swimming through the ocean and trying to escape sharks and other predators. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finding_Nemo_(video_game) -
Playstation Portable (PSP)
The Playstation Portable (PSP) was first released globally in 2005. At the time, it competed with the Nintendo DS. I adored the PSP as I experienced so many great memories with it. I played Sonic, Super Smash Bros., Crash Bandicoot, and many other classic games on this device. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_Portable -
Wii Sports (Nintendo Wii)
Wii Sports was released for the Nintendo Wii Console in 2006. At first, I couldn't purchase a copy due to the extreme popularity and success of it as it was a major step in motion capture technology. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii_Sports -
Grand Theft Auto V (PS4)
Grand Theft Auto V was released in 2013. GTA V reminds me of The Simpsons: Hit & Run, but with a lot more involved, including businesses and jobs that were completed by the player to earn money. I spent a lot of hours on this game, both on PS4, and in later years, PC. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto_V -
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PC)
PlayerUnknown's Battleground was released for PC in 2017. According to the developers, the nature of the game was inspired by the Japanese film 'Battle Royale'. This was one of the first times that I was introduced to the genre of 'Battle Royale'. At the time, it was a fairly new concept, and I was one of many that was intrigued by it. To date, I have played over 550 hours. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayerUnknown%27s_Battlegrounds -
Dead by Daylight (PC)
Dead by Daylight was released for PC in 2016. It falls under the thriller/horror genre of video games, and I still play it now. It is currently my game of choice for a few reasons, one of the main ones being that it's a 4-player co-op that I can play with my friends. Before this Dead by Daylight, I had never played a thriller game that I have had so much fun playing with friends. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_by_Daylight
