1. ‘Halo Reach’. Russ and I started playing ‘Halo’ when the first Xbox came out. We used to carry TVs around to each others houses and have epic death matches, drink beers, eat pizza etc. Then we realised alcohol affected gameplay so we started eating pineapple and building forts so no one could watch anyone else's screens. I became pretty obsessed with ‘Halo’ and even made a weird video when I lined up with Russ at midnight to get an Xbox360.

2. ‘Mortal Kombat 9’. I have always been a massive fan of ‘Mortal Kombat’ games. I used to play MKI on my PC when there'd be a two second lag between each punch because the computer wasn't powerful enough. I got into the comic books as well. MK9 is brutal. The x-ray manoeuvres are sick; my favorite fatality is Noob Saibot's 'Make A Wish' fatality.

3. ‘Batman Arkham City’. As a huge fan of Batman, I thoroughly enjoyed this game. I got right into all of the side missions. Batman fucking rules.

4. ‘Ninja Gaiden’. This game is rad. When you increase the skill level of your character you basically demolish enemies in a flurry of ninja craziness. 

5. ‘Cosmo’s Cosmic Adventure’. Unlike MKI, this game ran pretty awesomely on my PC. The game is a platform game about this little alien (Cosmo) with suction cap hands that was on his way to Disneyland when a comet fucked up his ship. Then he runs around collecting fruit and shit having wicked adventures. I love the music and the sound FX. Must have driven my folks nuts! Probably influenced my writing!
