Burnout 3: Takedown
Burnout 3: Takedown was developed by Criterion Games and published by EA in 2004. It was one of the first games I actively played and became one of my favourites of all time. Despite never being a massive fan of racing games, I played this game a lot as a kid and loved the unique mechanics that rewarded you for taking out opposing drivers.

Pokemon Sun
Pokemon Sun was one of my first times venturing into the landscape of competitive gaming. While I never reached professional success, I found the experience of theory crafting and putting the time in to build my own team very rewarding and I found decent success participating in online tournaments despite not ranking very high.
