What was your favorite game growing up?
I can’t choose just one. However, I can give a small selection of video games I really loved when I was younger.Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2Super Paper MarioPaper Mario TTYD.Luigi’s MansionWindwakerWe love KatamariOh yeah, just for the record, in spite of the number of Nintendo games up there, they weren’t actually my favourites in those gens. I preferred PS2 and Xbox 360 over the Nintendo consoles of the time. But the absolute highest quality games for me have always been Nintendo’s. Xbox and Playstation often have a lot more high quality games, but Nintendo offers the absolute best of the lot (in much smaller quantities.). They are my favourite this gen though, in spite of Wii U’s all too quick replacement.
What are your favorite childhood games growing up?
There are numerous childhood games in which i have played.Since my father owned an Xbox, i used to play on it if i got good grades or had a good day at school. One of the games i played was Burnout paradise. There, i drived recklessly and actually completed some easy missions.I also got a wii when i was seven and played Udraw on it. The only thing is i couldn’t play it for long since my sister wanted a turn on it. For co op games, i played Super Smash Bros. Brawl when it came out and i also played Mario Kart wii.My sister has since become a great mario kart player. In fact, i think that’s the game which she has the highest skill at.

What was your favorite board game as a child?
Of course, as a kid, you always have at least one “favourite” board game because it’s the best one you’ve experienced so far that’s not too difficult to understand and play, and that changes every year or two. But for my brother and me, that changed in roughly 1984 when we got the Milton Bradley game “Mystery Mansion.”In the game, players “explore” a house looking for a lost treasure. The house builds out before your eyes, room by room as you go through each doorway or staircase. This was a huge improvement over most of the games we had owned before that, which were one of:a. Roll the die. Move the pawn. Do the thing. (Life, Monopoly, Parcheesi, Oh What a Mountain, etc)b. Answer the trivia question. Or…c. Move the checker/chess-like pieces around an abstract board in prescribed ways (Chinese Checkers, Leverage, etc)This game was dynamic and interesting and different every time, and included some interesting choices and interesting strategy. Almost like an RPG / board game hybrid (like Dungeon! and those kinds of games).These days, far “better” Age 8+ kinds of games have been designed in terms of sheer playability and strategy, but it was good for its time, and the theme is something that could certainly benefit from a modern-day reimplementation (less die-rolling, a little less other luck, a little more strategy). And it still holds a soft spot in my heart.
What was your favorite board game growing up?
Boggle was pretty fun, still is really, if you like language games. Except for one flaw: mixing the little cubes is noisy as hell. If they were made of softer material on the corners, there would be less noise, and it would be more fun.
