Donkey Kong Country

Platform games are undoubtedly my favorite type of games. One of my absolute favorite platform games is the classic Donkey Kong Country for Super Nintendo. Although Super Nintendo may seem to be a dated system, I consider it one of the best and a major part of my childhood. In Donkey Kong Country, you controlled both Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong and must make your way through many different challenging levels, fighting bosses and baddies such as bees, crocodiles, vultures, and beavers.

Scrabble
Scrabble is one my favorite non-digital games. It is board game that is played by creating words with tiles, each having a single letter. More common letters are rewarded less points, such as E and A which are one point, but other letters such a Q and Z (which there are only one of each in each game) are worth ten points. Players pick 7 tiles out from a bag randomly and then must alternate turns making a word with the tiles they pick, while trying to obtain the highest amount of points. Words can't be placed anywhere though and must work off each other and share a letter. For example, the word "home" and the word "float" can be placed perpendicular by sharing the letter "o." Players also can be rewarded double letter/word score or triple letter/word score, by placing their tiles on those specific spots on the board. There are also two blank tiles in the bag that are wild, and can be used as any letter, though they are rewarded no points for use.

Halo

Halo is my favorite first-person shooter game. It was introduced to me by my friends in middle school, and we'd often play it when we were at my friend Andrew's house. The Halo franchise only exists for x-box, and since I've never had an x-box, I've only gotten the chance to play it when I am at my friends' houses. The storyline involves a war with aliens on a foreign planet, but I often just stuck to playing multiplayer split-screen.
