John: Battlefield: Bad Company 2 would have to be the favorite game in my collection. I have probably logged more hours with that game than any other in the last 10 years.
SQ: What is the most shameful game in your collection?
John: Tony Hawk Ride. I’ve loved hoverboards since I saw Back to the Future and the board that comes with Ride really reminded me of one. When I saw the combo on clearance at Best Buy a few months back for $25, I just had to buy it.
