INTERVIEW BY PHOENIX GENESIS EDITOR
|
|
PG: What was the first game you ever played?
|
|
Area 51 for the Playstation.
|
|
PG: What was your first system you owned?
|
|
Playstation. Because I thought it was better quality than the N64 and the
Dreamcast. Plus the games were better.
|
|
PG: How did you get interested in gaming?
|
|
The whole fact that it's a way to take a break from reality. You can relax
and go into a different world. And the fact that you can manipulate a
different person and have authority.
|
|
PG: What's your favorite genre?
|
|
Action / first person shooters.
|
|
PG: What was the first action game you played?
|
|
Regular Tekken. At the time, it was one of the best games, but now I
look down on it and say "Child's play."
|
|
PG: What's your favorite first person shooters?
|
|
Time Splitters, Red Faction, and Halo! All of which are intense and fast.
|
|
PG: What "closet systems" do you still own?
|
|
Playstation and the GameBoy Color. I've had MegaMan, one of the Pokemons,
and some fighting game... but I forgot the name. For Playstation, I still
play Spyro and Tekken 3.
|
|
PG: What are your favorite old school series?
|
|
Final Fantasy... esp. Final Fantasy 7 because I thought it had a great
plot, the best villain, and great characters. The Tekken series was
a favorite.
|
|
PG: What are your current home console sytems?
|
|
Playstation 2 and XBox. I call my XBox the FlexBox because it really
shows off its power, like when a bodybuilder flexes his muscles.
|
|
PG: What are your favorite XBox games?
|
|
Halo, Tony Hawk 2X, Amped, and Madden 2002.
|
|
PG: What are your favorite PS2 games?
|
|
Grand Theft Auto 3, Red Faction, Time Splitters, and Tekken Tag. GTA3
is in my opinion the best PS2 game because you get to hijack any vehicle.
You get to work for a variety of interesting people. And there's plenty
of combat. My favorite is when I play the riot mode using my stolen tank.
|
|
PG: What were your worst gaming experiences?
|
|
007 - Agent Under Fire... lacked plot and it was simply boring and stupid.
Army Men Air Attack... lacked plot and characters, plus it was dumb.
State of Emergency because it was only one weapon at a time. I really
don't know why I hated it, but it was just poor in every respect.
|
|
PG: What games are you anticipating buying?
|
|
For the XBox: The Matrix, Tony Hawk 3, Metal Gear Solid X, and Breed.
For my PS2: Time Splitters 2, Red Faction 2, Metal of Honor: Frontline.
