I'm an avid Nintendo fanboy. That doesn't mean that i'm ignorant to other areas of gaming. I was raised on Nintendo and I will always be a loyalist to them. They evolved me. But to speak for the present. Video games are on an unfortunate decline in brilliance (most everyone will disagree with me). But in my opinion it breaks down into this ration: for every 30 games, they're are maybe 6 really quality games. It's really sad, too. The last few months of 2007 were really kind to us gamers though. My most cherished games include games from many different companies and systems. My favorite game, of all time, is Banjo Tooie. It was the perfect blend of adventure, wit, romanticisim and undeniable fun. My second favorite game was probably Bate Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean. Generally, i'm not a big RPG guy. But BK is one of the few exceptions. It is literally the most beautiful game i've played on any sytem. Other favorites eb and flow from Resident Evil 4, Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, Shadow of the Colossus, Pokemon Snap, Prince of Persia series.
