Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer
Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer was the first game I ever owned as a kid. The varied environments were the most memorable part of the experience for me as they each had their own interesting unique characters.

Need for Speed: Most Wanted
Need for Speed: Most Wanted was the first racing game I ever played. I found the customisation of the cars was significantly better than other racing games in comparison.

Halo: Combat Evolved
Halo: Combat Evolved is the first instalment in the Halo franchise, released in 2001. It is a landmark in my history of playing games due to it being the first online game I had ever played.

Fallout 3
Fallout 3 is a 3D third/first-person successor to the top-down post-apocalyptic games Fallout 1 & 2. I fell in love with this game due to the unique atmosphere of the wasteland created by the melancholic visuals and heavyhearted soundtrack composed by Inon Zur.

DayZ (Arma 2 Mod)
DayZ is an online PVP-heavy zombie survival game for the military simulator Arma 2. It was the beginning of my love for online survival games. The intensity of PVP interactions with weeks of game progress on the line would be the very thing that I found most enjoyable about it.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG)
After having been a big fan of PlayerUnknown's Battle Royale mod for military simulator Arma 3, I found this looter shooter a refreshing update to the tried and true battle royale format. It is far less clunky than the mod, but still felt tactical. PUBG Corporation 2017, PUBG, video game, PC, PUBG Corporation PUBG Corporation, PUBG cover art, viewed 04 March 2021

Vigor
Recently I got hooked on playing this f2p looter shooter which feels like it takes the best parts of my most recent favourite games PUBG, and DayZ, smashes them together and adds addictive offline resource-generating base upgrades which keep me coming back.
