My particular favourites over the years have been Final Fantasy IX, Metal Gear Solid, Civilisation V and The Last of Us. I'm also a sucker for a series: Darksiders, Assassin's Creed, Tomb Raider etc.I am a bit of a lone gamer as I tend to steer clear of PvP, and only play multiplayer with close friends.
