Playing Guitar Hero with family.

Aside that having my eyes opened when I first played Wii Sports (Bowling mostly).

First time i tried Wii Sports with my friends.
It was new, fresh, we spent 5h nonstop playing 4 silly minigames with N64 graphics in the year 2007. How in the hell did Nintendo achieve that!!!
Nintendo DS. Simply the most succesful handheld will ever be with a MASSIVE library of quality SW. Playing FPS, RPGs, Strategy games, 2D/3D paltaformers was a blast on DS plus all the new genres it added (rythm games, educational games...etc)

Wipeout HD on a 92" projection screen, butter smooth 1080p60, awesome sense of motion in first person view.

Journey, sending a message after completing a 4 hour exploration run with a total stranger, to find out that I don't even recognize the alphabet of the reply.

Dark souls, lost somewhere underneath the under city after somehow falling onto a bonfire. Then slowly starting to make a mental map, exploring a little further with every death, hoping to find the way back before my equipment fails completely.

Ni No Kuni, RPG with Ghibli cooperation, now those cut scenes are a proper reward for getting further. Great cast of characters, the stand up comedy act was a highlight. Reminds me of the greatness of A pirate I was meant to be from Monkey island 3.


Still have to get a physical copy of that one.

Liverpool knew how to make impressive games !

Gonna expand a little bit:
- Playing MK Wii with my mom and my uncle every monday for a few years straight. Had to buy another copy of the game since the one I bought back in 2009 got damaged after so much use.
- Super Smash Bros. Brawl story mode set a standard for me. Thing was so damn epic, Final Boss and ending was amazing in almost every possible way.
- Terraria. Despite basically being a 2D Minecraft, I had a lot of fun with this one. The best things was that I made my house in the very place I started, and what started as a tiny wood house ended up as an overly epic multi-room castle fortress that no invasion could take down.
- Max Payne 3 on PC on Ultra, 1080p@60FPS. I don't care what anyone says about the story, the characters, etc. The mechanics were absolutely outstanding and the visuals were some of the best I've seen in my short gaming life.

WARHAWK

Shenanigans with my Xbox Live friends. We'd all pose up on Red Dead Redemption and start a fucking war. Hours and hours of Left 4 Dead. Lots of goofy moments in Halo 3 and Crackdown 2.

Console wars was 2006.... Best year in gaming for obvious reasons.

Personal gaming memory: Playing Gears of War 1 online and playing 3 vs 3 in Halo Wars with my cousins.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

For me best memories are from these games. Outside events dont effect me much. This list might be a little long.

Great game. I ended up connecting the ocean to the underworld through a complex system of caves, channels, underwater cross overs and giant stair cases. All before I had any equipment to breathe underwater, fall without damage etc. Then I found out the game generates infinite water as long as you connect a long enough stretch together and I managed to flood the entire underworld. Weirdly as soon as you get on site it starts evaporating rapidly, but slow enough to get to a safe spot to mine the good stuff.
