My Favorites List and My Quest

As I sit here on my bed I’m thinking of my favorite video games, I’m trying to decide what games make the cut and which fall behind.  Some of these are brutal; heart-wrenching debates as I try to formulate one of those coveted favorite lists I’ve been reading.  So as of Aug. 26, 2016 here is my current list:

7. Red Dead Redemption
6. Super Mario Galaxy
5. Batman Arkham Asylum
4. Mass Effect 2
3. Uncharted 2
2. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
1. Last of Us

Now you’ve read my list and like me you are probably noticing most of these games are from the last generation.  There is nothing from the SNES (Super Nintendo), the original Playstation or the even Playstation 2.  It’s not because I purposefully dodged these systems, the fact is I never owned anything before the Nintendo 64 and that is my dilemma.  My video game experience is somewhat recent; therefore I’ve missed world-renowned games like Super Mario World, Final Fantasy, Castlevaina and other such classics.
            With this gap of knowledge and experience now identified I begin my quest.  I plan to tackle this problem head on, as I play through those aforementioned gaming classics.  Hopefully you stick with me as I document my time with each game.  I vow to beat every game I start and maybe, just maybe fall in love along the way.  Here’s to my first attempt: Super Mario World.
