My favorite game of all time is The Legend of Zelda. I had the gold cartridge and my Grandparents got it for me. It was the first game that you didn't have to sit down and play. You could save it with the battery in the cartridge. My father would play it with me and beat it before I did. I loved that. The way that Link would get stronger, gaining more hearts and better swords as he went through was new to me. That you could throw bombs into the mouth of a Dodongo(sp?) was so neat. I loved blowing up the walls to see which ones would leave a hole I could sneak through. I burned so many bushes and snork looking things I lost count after an hour. That game (and most of the zelda's after it) were the best games I've ever played.
My current favorite game is one I haven't had the chance to play very much. I have been very busy at school and with World of Warcraft (my second favorite game). But, the first favorite, currently is Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Pulling someone who is trying to kill me towards a guard and watching the guard help me is normal, but watching that same guard loot the body we just killed before I can get to it is ridiculously cool. Having the option to save the world and be a good guy is fun and the option to be a bad guy is becoming the norm, but the option to be Robin Hood or to just go hunt some deer and steal anything I can from some lady down the street is wonderful. I love the AI too. The NPCs act almost human, you never know what will happen when you attack them or talk to them, or board their ship or enter their house. They may attack you, greet you, offer you something, ask you to leave, or just ignore you. That is why this game, where I can burn anyone I walk by and reap the consequences, is my favorite of the moment.
