    1) What was the last game you played?
    2) What is your favorite game?
    3) What is your favorite game engine?
    $) What is the next game you are looking forward to being released?

    It can be a board game, etc. If it is a board game, for the engine, you could list a... game concept. Like, rolling dice, or sliding items.

    1) What was the last game you played?

    Crysis

    2) What is your favorite game?

    Coincidentally, Crysis.

    Looking down, I see we're not limited to PC games. Then, I would like to put the pokemon series first, and then final fantasy V, and then VII. And then comes Crysis.

    3) What is your favorite game engine?

    Would have to be a debate between Frostbite and Cryengine 2.0

    4) What is the next game you are looking forward to being released?

    Crysis 2

    Warhammer 40K: Space Marine (I'm afraid to say Duke Nukem Forever because I know that I'm going to be disappointed...no developer can compete with nostalgia)
