1. Name/Age/Location?
A: My name is Robert, I'm 18 years old and I live in Port St. Lucie, FL.
2. How old were you when you started playing video games?
A: I was about maybe somewhere between 2 or 3 years old. I stoped playing video games around 10 and I came back into playing them when I was 14. I've been playing games for quite a while now.
3. What sparked your interest in video gaming?
A:Whenever I see my cousin from Ohio play Street Fighter 2, I think it looked very cool. I would go in and face against him. I think I never won a match, because I was so little and he was like 16 or 17 years old. But, I had great times playing that game. So, that was the resaon that sparked my interest in video games.
4. 1st video game you've remember playing?
A: I don't know. I would say Sonic the Hedgehog for the Genesis, because I always felt like that game was my first game I played. But my mother kept telling me it's the Street Fighter 2 game. But, I always feel like Sonic came first before Street Fighter. I have a terrible memory so, it's a toss up between those 2 games.
5. Does that first game has a place in your heart?
A: Yes, it does. Like I said before, I can't remember on what was my first game I'd played. But, I mention it's either Sonic the Hedgehog or one of the Street Fighter 2 games. But those 2 games do have a place in my heart, because I always find the music in Sonic the Hedgehog to be quite memorable and catchy. For street fighter 2, It brings me back memories for fighting my cousin and listening to the main theme for Guile and Ken. So, they do have a place in my heart.
6. Favorite Franchise in video games?
A: My favorite franchise is definitely the Jak and Daxter games. I have a lot of reasons why, because the gameplay in all 3 games were awesome, shooting the krimzon guards in Haven City in Jak 2 is pretty memorable, beautiful graphics and best of all, Daxter himself. Toyn Hawk comes really close, but Jak and Daxter is my favorite franchise.
7. Favorite Game Company?
A: I don't know. It's a toss up between Square and Capcom. For square, that comapny was responsible for making great RPG's like the Final Fantasy franchise and Kingdom Hearts. And I always thank Capcom for getting me into Street Fighter, Final Fight, Devil May Cry and other games. I also like Activision, because of the Tony Hawk games and some of their Marvel comics based games. So, it's probably one of the 3 companys.
8. Least favorite game franchise?
A: This is one is pretty easy. All the sport's franchise like Madden, NBA Live, FIFA, SSX and others because I'm not a sport's guy at all. The only sports franchise I love is the Tony Hawk franchise, because I like Skateboarding.
9. Most overrated game franchise?
A: Madden is both overrated and least game franchise, to me.
10. Favorite Genre of video games?
A: I like Platformers, Shooters, RPG's, and Fighting. I like Racing, but I wouldn't consider that genre as my above and beyond favorite genre. Burnout is probably is really my favorite racing series. So, RPG's, Shooters, Fighting and Platformers are my favorite genre's.
11. Favorite era of Video Games such as 8 bit, 16-bit era and so on?
A: It would have to be either the PS2 era or the 16 bit era, because I like the Sega Genesis.
12. Favorite Video Game controller?
A: My favorite controller is the playstation controller, because it feels right when all the shoulder buttons. I also like the SNES and Genesis controller, but the playstation is probably my favorite.
13. Favorite System, if you don't have a favorite game system, then name your top 3.
A: I think easily the Playstation 2. I don't own much retro systems, so I can't make a top 3. But by the looks of all the systems,my top 3 would be the PS2 first, the Sega Genesis second and the Wii is third place.
14. What game has the memorable music to you?
A: For standard video game music, I think Sonic the Hedgehog, Champions of Norrath, Final Fantasy 7 and Final Fantasy X has the most memorable orchestral music, whether it's techno or standard orchestra music. For licensed, I would say the Tony Hawk series or maybe Madden NFL 07. As much as I don't like madden at all, I used to own that game when I was a madden player because I really liked that game's soundtrack a lot. I also love Burnout Revenge's soundtrack. That game'ssoundtrack is awesome. So, Burnout Revenge, Madden NFL 07 and the Tony Hawk games have the best licensed soundtracks.
15. Least favorite game controller?
A: Without a doubt, the N64 controller.
16. Do you follow game review sites?
A: Most of the times, yes. Whenever gamespot makes a new review of a PS2 game, I'll follow for what they say. But, sometimes I don't follow reviews on games like Dirge of Cerberus, because I found that game really good. But Gamespot finds it fair. But yes, I follow Gamespot's reviews.
17. What's your favorite system out of the current console generation?
A: From the looks of it, I like the Wii mostly. Because I love the Virtual Console and the whole Free-Motion control thing. And also likethe fact that you can go on to the Internet, look at the weather and read the news. That's pretty cool.
18. What's your favorite portable system?
A: From the looks, I think it's a toss up between the PSP and the GBA.
19. Most memorable moment in playing a video game?
A: WheneverDaxter does something really funny :lol: and me playing Dance Dance Revolution at the Orlando Science Museum, months ago.
20. Why do you play video games?
A: It just something that I love. It makes me feel like I'm about to walk in the path of working in the video game industry, whether it's development or reviewing. It's just something that's really entertaining and one more thing, it's also the best way to make myselfunbored. So, those are the reasons why.
