    Your favourite video game movie?

    For me it's absolutely Wreck it Ralph! I love that it's such a fun movie, with a sweet concept - and I love that it's also something that the whole family can watch! My kids, nieces and nephews all love the movie, so we all enjoy it together. We've watched it so many times!

    do you pay for games

    Occasionally I will. But I have to say that ultimately I gravitate more towards free games than I do to paid ones. I find that I spend more of my cash on console games, but I think as the quality of mobile games gets better and better then it won't seem unusual at all to fork out for apps. There...

    What are your favourite mobile games?

    I don't know if I'd call it my absolute favorite, but one that I really enjoy of late is Pinout. It's like an old school, retro pinball game for your phone, and the graphics are surprisingly good. I find myself spending a lot of time in waiting rooms playing it, and I don't even mind that I'm...

    Is buying mobile games different than pc or console games?

    You've actually got me thinking now - I wonder why I am more reluctant to pay for cell phone games than I am for other types - especially when I have my phone with me basically 24/7, so in theory I would probably get more use out of cell phone games than any other kind! I think the quality of...

    The Sims

    It was definitely one of my favorites when I was younger...I think I also just loved that "real world in a make believe world" feeling. Plus, so many of my friends were into it at the time as well, so that always helps - it tends to be something that you all end up talking about, and it makes...

    Most Impressive Mobile Games Today

    I actually read an article on this very topic on CNet recently! It's pretty incredible just how far gaming has come on mobile devices. Anyway, the link to the article I read is here and it talks about the 10 best mobile games of 2018. Hopefully that might give other readers some ideas if they're...

    Does anyone here still play Pokemon Go?

    I feel like I was much like kingcool52 above me - I played it for a few weeks when it first came out, since it was so hyped up (and since so many other people I knew were also playing it - so it was really interactive at that time). I think though that it lost popularity relatively quickly. I...

    Nintendo Switch

    I agree with you about it being something fresh - from the people I know that already have one they have only said good things (which is pushing me towards putting my pennies towards getting one too). I just love the portability of it, being able to game wherever you want -- but I do think that...

    Have you ever fought over a game?

    Haha, yes! I had times where I didn't actually talk to friends for periods of time after we'd gotten into arguments over games! Crazy to think about that kind of behavior now, but I feel like for those of us that were young gamers we all probably have similar stories like that! Oh, to be young...

    Do You Buy Games On Day-one Release?

    I used to, probably more so before I had kids and had more of a disposable income to play with. These days when cash is a lot tighter and there are more bills to pay, I've got to consider more what I spend on - so I usually wait a little while longer, for the games to be reviewed. I want to make...

    Why do you choose PC over console?

    Well, I use both - I think both have their benefits, and certain games are only available on PC or only available on console, so of course that plays into it. Also, it really comes down to what my family and friends are playing - especially if it's something that we play together online. One of...

    Too old to play games?

    I don't think there's such a thing as being too old to play either. You'd never think someone was too old for reading books, or listening to music, or picking up a new hobby - so I don't know why people would even insinuate that there's a cut off point for gaming either. I think maybe because in...

    Have you ever fought over a game?

    Definitely when I was a kid/teenager - I think a lot of it is just part and parcel of being at that age where you get into conflicts with siblings or peers, and partially to do with being a bit over-competitive at that age too, like you have something to prove. These days though, I don't fight...

    Do you think kids play games too much?

    I feel like being able to engage in both is healthy. I played video games as a kid but also did plenty of outdoorsy things as well - which is probably what I'll expect from my own kids, too. I think that maybe parents whose kids aren't outside as much live in areas where getting outdoors and...

    How old were you when you first got into gaming?

    I was about 10 as well. It was probably that age that I first really understood the fun of them, and I guess by then I'd developed a bit of a competitive nature, too! My cousins and I used to play the old Nintendo games and then as things like Xbox and Playstation came out we got into those too...
