My first game ever was Adventure on the Atari.
My favorite game of all time is Ape Escape for the PSX.
My most played game would have to be Lumines for the PSP, a game that has me seeing the colorful exploding blocks even when I'm not playing.

As an artist I value brilliant design over brilliant gameplay, though I certainly value both.

A few of my favorite games (in no particular order):

Noby Noby Boy
Silent Hill
Dead Rising
Gitaroo Man
Final Fantasy IX
Demon's Souls
Super Mario RPG: Lot7S
Legend of Zelda: Seasons + Ages
