Birth
Unfortunately I had the pleasure of being born on Valentine's Day, definitely not something people remind me of every single year. -
Crash Bandicoot: Warped
Crash Bandicoot: Warped was originally released in 1998, however my first memories of playing it was in 2005 on caravan trips with my family, I would wake up early in the morning and take turns on the PlayStation with my siblings.

Pokemon Emerald
Pokemon Emerald is one of my favourite games, it released in 2004 but I remember I wasn't allowed to play it despite my love for Pokemon because I couldn't read. It was only in late 2007 after I completed my first year of school that I could finally play it.

Kingdom Hearts II
Kingdom Hearts II was a game that was given to me by a cousin, I started playing for all the recognisable Disney characters and worlds, but stayed for the amazing soundtrack and Kingdom Hearts characters and story, I've recently gone back and begun playing the entire series.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3
Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 was the first COD game I bought upon release and proceeded to grind for months. It is my most played and favourite COD game and got me into online multiplayer games.

Super Mario Odyssey
Super Mario Odyssey was the first game I played on the Nintendo Switch and to this day it is still my favourite Switch game. I loved all of the different worlds and the amount of moons to collect, not to mention that the game is beautiful to look at.

God of War
God of War is possibly the greatest game I have ever played. There was something about the environment, story, character interactions, world building and lore which came together to provide an extraordinary immersive experience.

Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order
Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order has some of the most addicting exploration I have ever experienced in a game. I enjoyed the exploration so much that I took a pause from the story to acquire all of the PlayStation Trophies.

Ori and The Blind Forest
Ori and The Blind Forest is the game I am currently playing and so far the art and music is astounding. I received the recommendation through the Year 12 Research Project in a survey about the most important aspects of video games.
