My brother and I were obsessed with this game. It came on a dozen or so 3.5″ hard disks (high tech back then) and included a semi-complete faux vellum map. Most of the game took place in either a huge city or a huge desert with tons of little secrets hiding everywhere. That, coupled with the fact that you had to type out most of your actions, made for a world that really felt alive.

Throughout the show we played clips from my interview with Sairys who was one of the couples featured in the documentary Second Skin. We talked about how she got introduced to the Second Skin guys and how she first joined her guild (also profiled in the film) The Syndicate. She told us a heart filled story about how members of the guild helped each other even in the saddest of times and recounted hers and Ebony’s (he boyfriend) fondest memory in a MMO.

I love games that have a lot of replay value and reward you for exploring. Starflight was all about both.

I loved that you were Military Vs. Aliens, pretty awesome! The mix up of game play was a pretty sweet effect too. I would have to say that game is what evolved my love for video games and made me want to be a part of this industry. Game on!!
Read MoreNow when a new game with a monthly subscription came out I found a new dilemma. I liked the new game, but I still loved EQ and had not only spent a lot of time in it, but money as well. I was torn between trying something new, giving up EQ or playing both. I found it hard to justify playing two games that took time to level your character and gear up and paying two monthly fees.

Halo CE will always be my favorite because it was the first game I was better at than my natural born enemy, my little brother. Not to mention any game who’s music was written by the same man who wrote the Flinstone’s vitamin jingle is O.K. in my book.

I love the classic RPGs. Of these, the Bard’s Tale always had a special spot in my heart. I still remember meeting Hawkslayer through the ages, and remember how excited I was years later when I met Joe Ybarra, whom the “YMCA” [Ybarra’s Mystical Coat of Arms] spell was named after.

This was one of the first games I played where you were given the freedom to experiment with your surroundings and think ‘outside of the box’. These actions often lead to humorous outcomes and commentary from the game’s characters, and LucasArts ability to poke fun at themselves never got old. Plus, how can you go wrong with a game that consists of both Pirates AND Monkeys!

Hard to play and harder to master, Robotron is one of the purest shooters ever made. No fluff in the design and relentless action that still holds up today, you can’t beat Robotron for that fast arcade adrenaline fix.

It was so amazing. It had a great storyline while not sacrificing open-ended game-play, as well as action elements and character-building role-playing as well. The overall presentation was polished, and there were even nice touches of humor and surprising events.

Comeback: “How appropriate. You fight like a cow.”
How could one NOT like this game?
I’m a puzzle freak and tend to like any game that belongs to this genre. It’s skill based and also involves an element of strategy in it. The art is incredible and the game has kept me hooked on for hours! We recently released a new title for the iPhone and iPad – The Jim and Frank Mysteries-The Blood River Files. Was a combo of puzzles and adventure.
