MARIO KART: DOUBLE DASH
This game. This was the very first video game that I ever played. Christmas of 2003 was the location. My older brother and sister were playing this game, and to me it looked amazing. But at the time, I did not know what Nintendo was or even who Mario was. But I gave it a shot, and now look at me. I blog about Nintendo. So this game was huge for me for obvious reasons. It was the first game I ever played. And today, it still is awesome. But Mario Kart 8 looks soooooo good...
PAPER MARIO THE THOUSAND YEAR DOOR
Pretty soon after Mario Kart, I began to move on to other Mario games. Like this one, which is... get ready for it... the BEST Mario game out there. [people shouting at their monitors] Yes, I do believe this game is the epitome of Mario beauty, but I also believe that... THIS IS THE FLAT-OUT BEST GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED. The adventure is lengthy, the characters are memorable, and the whole dang thing is FUN. Its sequels? Nah. This is the real Paper Mario game.
HALO COMBAT EVOLVED
As a kid, I wasn't allowed to play M rated games at my house. At my house. So of course, every time I went to my neighbors house, what did I play? M rated games! So yes, Halo was my first M game, and my first XBOX game, and my first game that did not have Mario in it. Woah. And it was definitely a different type of game, but I loved it nonetheless. It was interesting since I liked Sci-Fi, and Master Chief is just a bad-ass. Later, I played Halo 2 at that same neighbor's house, and then I moved on to Halo 3, Halo Reach, Halo 4, each one dazzling me more than the last. (Except for Reach. 3 is better than Reach) And now, today as I am typing this, I drool over the thought of what Halo 5 will be in the very near future.
