I have been a gamer for years. Since the days of Atari and Nintendo, I have played all kinds of games from racing, to fighting, to shooters and more. I know its a bit premature since I am only 24 at the moment but I feel like posting a blog to talk about the best game in my collection.

Choosing was extremely difficult, I don't buy crappy games, I don't keep crappy games, it just doesn't happen. I've collected Final Fantasy, Halo, and many other unique series. So when I decided to look through my collection and decide on which game stuck out the most, I had to base it on a lot of factors. Gameplay, story, action, plot, and more. Only one game stood out to me enough to get this honor.

And the winner is.........

***Fallout 3***

I never played Fallout, ever, until 3 came out and I decided to give it a shot. When I put it in I felt genuinely enthralled into the game. It was made by Bethesda so I knew it couldn't be all bad since I loved Morrowind and Oblivion is one of my favorite PS3 games (mostly cus my friend got it for me). The Role Playing Shooter genre is semi small and seems to house some of the best games ever. Borderlands, Fallout, Mass effect, get my point? There just aren't that many. But the topic here is Fallout 3, so lets get on with it.

The combat is awesome, allowing you to choose to play as a Halo-Esque FPS or a Turn Based style shooter. The gore is explicit and beautiful and the action is interesting enough to keep you on the edge of your seat and waiting for more. The story is insane and innovative even in a decade where it seems Post Apocalypse games and movies are running amok. The music is, a bit odd, but keeps an interesting theme to game and makes those adventures in the deep dark dungeons a bit less eerie a bit more hilarious. Nothing beats being rushed by 8 or 9 feral ghouls while some dude sings about not wanting to set the world on fire.. *sigh* good times.

When I chose this I weighed it against many of my other games. And believe me I have a lot of games. I chose this over Final Fantasy, Halo, Gears of War, it even beats out Killzone 2 which I have raved about to my friends (in an attempt to get them to buy it).

Anyway, thats my decision on the best game I own. Until next time readers.. all 2 of you. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

Dragon Age: Origins has been at the top of my favorites list since I got it. And now that I have finished the game with a few loose ends not tied up I have a personal view on it. It is by far the most well put together albeit old fashioned RPG of all time. While I have the PS3 version and apparently the only true way to play is on the PC, I am still extremely happy with it and Plan to restart it soon.

The Story is fresh and unexpected, though it's been done before, ya know the whole "A horde of demonic beings is attempting to destroy the world.. we must gather allies and stop them." ploy has been done to death. But the fact is DA: O takes it in a different direction by giving you a challenge each step of the way into gaining those allies. It's not as simple as walking into an elven town and saying, "We need yer help keelin these here demon thingies.. get yer bows and meet us here." by a long shot. Instead you have to prove your leadership and worth to each race before you gain their aid.

As far as the characters go my only gripe is why are their hands so darn big and stiff.. it looks like they stuck their hands in boiling water and then froze them while they were still swollen. Also why does it appear that characters seem to talk about the dumbest stuff at the wierdest times.

My favorite in game persona was Shale, hilarious and loyal though he seemed to be ready to turn on you at any moment. Some of the battles would have been way too hard without him too.

**Spoiler**

So far my favorite fight was the first dragon kill. Not the mini dragon the High Dragon before the Urn of Sacred Ashes. That was one of the most challenging and entertaining fights of the game.

**Spoiler End**

Anyway, I really enjoyed the game and recommend it to everyone who likes a good solid "choose your adventure" style RPG. Talk to you all later!!

A few days ago I posted a blog with the same title (kinda). But I left some stuff out, now I make amends.

Favorite PS3 game: Dragon Age Origins

Again!

Favorite Xbox 360 game: Halo 3

Squeaking by ODST due to its multiplayer aspect and the absolute fun of getting crushed by 12 year old dudes. The game is just too good not to mention.

Favorite PSP game: Dissidia: FF

As fighting games go, its about time we got this one.

Favorite DS game: Dragon Quest 4: Chapters of the Chosen

Long title, old school remake, amazing game. Back in the days of the original Nintendo Dragon Quest (warrior) was rivaled only by Final Fantasy. This game is too epic to pass up.

Favorite Sega Genesis game: Shining Force 2

Hands down my favorite RPG of all time. While it doesn't stick to its ancient roots and the newer versions all seem to be too, I dunno, off, Still a great game to plug in and play once in a while.

Favorite Series: Final Fantasy

No, I didn't put this up here because my buddy griped at me in my last blog, I put it up here because its the truth. No other game Series has seen me buy every single title with little hesitation. Though I didn't like Tactics, or the MMO, the series excels at keeping me interested with its Single Player stuff. I can't wait for FF13.

Favorite PC game: WoW

No doubt the most played game I own, but it doesn't need much of an explanation.

I think i'll end the blog here, for now. Talk to you all later.
