Favourite video game? Hard to say. I think one of them has to be Red Dead Redemption, that game is terrific in every aspect. I might follow that with one of the Halo series, I have a special place in my heart for that game as Halo: Combat Evolved was the first game I ever owned.

Although I like multiplayer, I say a good singleplayer campaign is better than any online multiplayer play. If a game has replay value, and a finely crafted single player experience, I say it wins hands down. I recently finished Dishonored, thoroughly enjoyed it (though it was cheesy at times). But in terms of gameplay, can't wait to play through it again. Same goes for Portal (both 1 and 2) - perfect game!

Onto TF2: Don't worry! It's a fast paced game and really hard to pick up at the start. I'd advise starting as the Soldier class, it's just jump around, run, aim, shoot, repeat. After you get the hang of that and manage at least a 1:1 kill / death ratio per life start messing around with other classes. You'll soon find one for you! Also: Play it often. Nobody gets good at something in a day, and although with games it can seem different because of tutorials, the TF2 tutorial and online play are so different it's impossible to be ready straight away without time playing online!
