The Game Fanatics Staff

How did you get into gaming/what is your earliest gaming-related memory?
I first got into gaming when I played Super Mario and some awful Star Wars game on my Gameboy. From that moment onwards I was completely hooked. Playing Super Mario 64 was just mind blowing at the time. Going from a tiny black and white screen to an actual 3D game was epic.
What’s your favorite game and why?
What hobbies do you have outside of video games?
My hobbies outside of video games are varied to say the least. I always seem to have one money making scheme or another to keep me busy, along with following the ups and downs that come with being an avid Manchester United fan.
If you could be any video game character, who would it be?
I think that being a Dragonborn in this period of time would be pretty cool. There would have to be dragons somewhere so I could take their souls and Fus Ro Dah everyone. Being the Spy from Team Fortress 2 would be a good shout too.
If you could design your own game, what would be in it?
My own game would be a Lord of the Rings game done perfectly. The full journey to Mordor as Frodo/Sam, all the fights with Aragorn etc, and everything else. Play through the story as you like. Who says Boromir has to die? Every character playable. Middle Earth exactly as described in the books, and fully explorable as well. Chuck in some nicely done multi-player and we’re on to a winner.
