Metal Gear Solid
Metal Gear Solid is a stealth action game originally released in 1998 on the Playstation 1 and is a sequel to the Metal Gear franchise on the MSX2 computer from 1982. This was the first game I ever played, its deeply rich cinematic storytelling and gameplay influenced me forever and led me to playing my favourite game of all time Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater.

Fallout New Vegas
Fallout New Vegas is an open-world RPG first person shooter game originally released in 2010 on Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. This game showed me a world where you can make any decision you want and provided interesting commentary on capitalism, greed and morality. Obsidian Entertainment. (2010).

Team Fortress 2
Team Fortress 2 is a first person shooter game originally released in 2007 on home computers via Steam. This was the year the game became free to play and allowed an influx of players (including me) to join, the games style and humour influenced a lot of my personal comedy as well as introducing me to its creator Valve and their other titles.

Old School Runescape
Old School Runescape is an MMORPG released in 2013 on PC and is a rerelease of Runescape 2 from 2004 after community backlash over the new updates to the game. I felt apart of something bigger than myself, the sense of community in tandem with the art style, story and music made an experience I can't find anywhere else a decade later. Jagex. (2013).

Bloodborne
Bloodborne is a action role-playing game released in 2015 on the PlayStation 4. This game showed me a depraved and dark world unlike anything I'd ever seen while also providing the biggest challenge I'd ever experienced in a video game up to that point which got me hooked on other Fromsoftware titles.

Tekken 7
Tekken 7 is a fighting game originally released in 2015 in arcades before being ported to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC in 2017.
