Your Game Library Might Explain Who You Are

Here 15 games I actually own.

Help Wanted

Battlefield 3

Final Fantasy 12

Metroid: Other M

Persona 3 FES

Cooking Mama

Contra Rebirth

L.A. Noire

Yakuza

Medal Of Honor (PS3)

Ghost Trick

Hotel Dusk 213

Mario and Luigi: Inside Bowser Story

Super Mario 3D Land

Art Academy

These are just a small (about 2%) of games I actually own. You can probably get a idea of what taste in games I have but would be able to predict my personality and character?

With this month of Color (my last article), I been playing some colorful games on various systems and I got to thinking when looking at my library, I was thinking of what these games say about me as a person. Does FF12 and Mario and Luigi make me adventurous yet whimsical person? In a way. Meeting new people and discovering new things when I go some where is exciting to me. Though some of it is whimsical and humorous at times, it’s a great thing to learn.

With Ghost Trick, Art Academy, and Hotel Dusk for example are games of art and new implementation of discover new graphics and art style which I love to see and learn and apply. Art alone intrigues me and brings a comfort when seeing it and talking about it. It give games life and fresh breathe of air that a lot of us long for in anything in life.

So my question to everyone is this: If you looked at your game library, what does is speak of your personality or character? What does it reflect of you?

not really (it feels like that). I will say I own about 150+ games. If I stilll had my old systems, It would be around 300

Actually, my collection kind of veers between dark sci-fi RPGs and long-time franchises, such as Legend of Zelda and Super Mario games. I actually used to love Mario to death, until I dug up some of the old Playstation RPGs.

I guess the sci-fi style sort of explains my love for computers and cyberpunk-styled movies. Fantasy, swords and sorcery just don't seem as cool or intellectual as biological viruses or computer hackers. Of course, I don't mind if someone combines swords and sorcery with dark, robotic stuff. Xenoblade combined the best of both worlds for me.
