  1. Wow, this is crazy, I’m overly excited to try Meta Quest 3 virtual reality headset. This going next level all the way.

  2. I am most excited to try the Meta Quest 3 virtual reality headset. I’ve never tried VR before and it looks really cool

  3. I would most like to play Starfield on an Xbox Series X machine that I’d love to win for the family!

  4. I am excited about Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door because I have heard that this game is one of the best in the Paper Mario series.

  5. I really want to play the Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart game on PS5 as I love all the old Ratchet & Clank games on our PS3. This new one looks like so much fun and I can’t wait!

  6. I was going to say Gran Turismo 7, since I’ve owned all of them since the first. But I only have a PS3 and XBox 360 now… so I’m WAY behind on the current tech!

  7. I’m excited for the upcoming call of duty black ops 6 game. I love the call of duty franchise and this game seems like the next big fps game thats going to break records! Can’t wait!

  8. I’m most excited for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Collector’s Edition. The latest in the long running series that has a rabid fan base the world over. This is a must buy for fans

  9. I’m excited about trying VR. Meta Quest looks fun. I haven’t had an immersive experience with games yet, but I do love RPGs

  10. Gears of war series 1-4, I use to have an Xbox 360 and a Xbox one back in the day and when I first got into the systems my first video game series was gears of war 1 and that game blew off by far one of the best games back in the day the graphics were hard and amazing for the time and the gameplay was amazing as it was brutal as for the story it was really emerging and braught visuals that not a lot of games could in 2006 as well as details,characteristics, and the story plot as well through out the series

  11. I am so excited for Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door on the Nintendo switch. It’s such a classic game, I remember playing it on N64.

  12. Luigi’s mansion. My mom used to play it for us on Nintendo, and we’d all watch because we were too young to be able to actually beat the ghosts (and it was a little spooky too so just another reason she had to be there lol).

  13. I most look forward to Elden Ring because then I could surprise my son who has been dying to have it.

  14. I never had an Xbox and would love to play the Series X. The exclusives they have now are drawing me in, especially Starfield since sci-fi is my favorite genre. I would love to win the Xbox Series X package.

  15. My choice would be a Playstation 5, I haven’t had a Playstation since my PS2 died from over playing Gran Turismo. Having a PS5 would be amazing to get back into racing especially since Sony has a VR which would add another level of awesomeness.

  16. my pick would be the G29 Driving Force- wheel I love race games and this looks like a winner for steering.

  17. I am most excited about the ASUS ROG Ally X gaming console. This looks like a powerful portable gaming unit which will allow me to enjoy my PC gaming titles on the go!

  18. I’m most excited to play the F1 24 game because I’ve been playing racing games since I can remember, and the F1 games are definitely one of my favorites.

  19. Metal gear solid delta. I haven’t played since the 2003? Release? It would we great to play this rendition of it in next gen form

  20. I’m most excited for the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door for the Nintendo Switch. Previously played the other paper mario games, so I’m excited to see what additional changes they’ve added.

  21. Honestly, Elden Ring haha. I think I’m the last person alive who hasn’t played it. I didn’t even realize it existed for PS4. I love the enemies/monsters in the game, it’s gorgeous from what I’ve seen. And I’m a glutton for punishment.

  22. f1 24 with the Logitech G923 accessory package. Our household enjoys watching F1 and I have one of the older wheels for an older console and it does make a significant difference to how the game is played (significant enhancement to the experience).

  23. Paper Mario is on the top of my list as I have heard great things and it should be sweet continuation from my youth video games to share with the younger generation.

  24. I would love the meta quest.
    I am slowly building a PC, and would love to be able to utilize the quest with some of my designs, and 360 explorations
