Snap and memory were probably the first games i remember playing, i believe i learned these games around 3 years of age and once i knew how to play i would never stop playing, and loved many card games after this.

Minecraft was released in 2011 and was one of the first games i started playing since it was first released as at this time i was deemed old enough to play most games i wanted to. i absolutely loved Minecraft when it came out and i still do, it is very nostalgic now, but its amazing to see how far it has come since 2011.

This came out in 2007 however i started playing in 2011, my cousin introduced me to the game and it helped me grow a love for the halo franchise and games similar to it, this was also my first experience having a group of online friends i would play with and talk to, i also remember being so happy i was finally allowed to play these types of games.

Little big planet was released in 2014 and was another huge game for me in my life, i played this on the PlayStation 3 and was my first experience with a PlayStation console, i remember being so drawn to the puzzle aspects but also to the little character which you could customize with things you found or earnt throughout the levels and i loved the detail and design and colour of each level, it was just a very fun feel-good game for me.

This game came out in 2020, it is a combination of three classic mario games from over the years and in my opinion three of the greatest super mario games. it includes super mario sunshine, super mario galaxy and super Mario 64, i raced to get this game when it was released and it was so nolstalgic for me, and it really revived my love for nintendo and the games they create.
