Top Games
''Here are some of my favorite games along with some backstory about the game and some memories I had with them. Please note that these are not in any particular order as I consider all of them one of my favorites!''

NASCAR Racing 2003 Season
This is without a doubt my favorite NASCAR video game. I've been playing it since Summer 2013 as I got lucky and scored a copy from a friend for $1 and some food. Though I mainly stick to offline racing, I would like to try my hand at some more online competition (I have completed one event and did fairly well for just a keyboard). I do make custom paint schemes as well and constantly feature the game on my YouTube Channel.

NASCAR Thunder 2003
I would not consider the game itself as a favorite of mine however the memory of me winning my first race in a NASCAR video game is one of my top moments in gaming. I don't remember the date or year but I do remember this: It was a summer day and I just gotten washed up from being in my pool. I decided to turn on my PS2 and to once again play NT2003. Instead of just driving around backwards causing cars to catch on fire, I went flat-out on New Hampshire and won the race!

NASCAR Thunder 2004
This is my favorite game in the EA Sports NASCAR series. Not only was the racing amazing, but there was so much to do! I've made a lot of great memories here including driving the #32 Tide car to a championship in Season Play.

NASCAR 07
This is the last "good" EA Sports NASCAR game in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, NASCAR 08 and 09 were good (I own NASCAR 08 Limited Edition after all) but they seem to just be copy/pasted version of NASCAR 06 and 07. I thought 07 had an intense career mode filled with choices upon choices as well as competitive racing.

Need For Speed: Most Wanted (2005)
This is my favorite Need For Speed game (Though I think Rivals will beat it out. Edit: I was so wrong with that statement, Rivals was trash let's be real) as it had an amazing look and feel. The cars were impressive and the cop vs. racer action was also praised. The story line however was the best storytelling that I have ever witnessed on the PlayStation 2 in a racing game at the time.

Halo: Reach
My favorite story line in the entire Halo series was Reach. It did a great job telling the backstory of the events before Halo: Combat Evolved. Firefight is one of my favorite game modes ever and continue to play it to this day both as a lone wolf and team player. I also enjoy heading into multiplayer especially with the Grifball and Anniversary Playlists. I mainly play the game on Friday nights as I compete in the Halo Sprint Racing League (HSRL) which you can learn more about reading the page on this Wiki!

Halo 4
Though I was not impressed with the main campaign and found Spartan-Ops better, I manly play for Xbox LIVE's best multiplayer experience. Though some game types get me pissed the moment I start playing, in others, I'm basically UNFRIGGENBELIEVEABLE! I don't play as much as I did back in February where my friend and I got snowed in and had no choice to play it all day, but I occasionally still pop in the disc. I'm sought out by the Red Team however after my friend's sister and I played that one game...

Call of Duty: Black Ops II
Another Call of Duty game that delivered a great campaign, Black Ops II showed me that Call of Duty can have multiplayer that is not highly overpowered similar to Ghosts. Zombies is also a lot of fun and you just can't get tired of killing the undead unless you are the undead.

SpongeBob Squarepants: Battle For Bikini Bottom
This is without a doubt one of my favorite PlayStation 2 games of all time. Not only did the game have an amazing plot line, but the gameplay and feel was really done well. The currency system was fair and the comedy was also available.
