The Hollywood Byte #26: The Rockstar

"I'm going to get a Nintendo DS Lite because I love those Japanese games, which tend to be more bizarre and freaky," said Morgan. "They have those new train-your-brain things. I'm really into games that challenge you. Brain Age Academy. I'm 27. I feel like it's necessary at my age. If I can find a game that can teach me something, that's even better. They seem to have come a long way with the technology of the Nintendo DS Lite."

Morgan is a big fan of WarioWare, which is the reason he bought his GBA. He said WarioWare was his favorite game because you never knew which game was going to come up next.

While he's upgraded to next generation gaming with titles like Quake IV and Top Spin 2 on Xbox 360, Morgan is an old-school gamer at heart.

"The graphics are so cool with Xbox 360, but I almost have more fun when I buy a Namco Treasure game for my PSP," said Morgan. "I have a collection from Midway where it has the old Mortal Kombat games and from Capcom with all of the old Street Fighter games. It's almost more fun playing those. There are all of these games that I remember playing at the arcades as a kid that just would eat my quarters up. Now I have them on my PSP and they're still tough to play. I bought all the Sonic the Hedgehog games. They're more simple and left stuff to work out. There's something sort of cool about those games."

Growing up in South Africa, Morgan has been gaming since the Commodore 64 days, when tape decks were used for video games.

"There was this one DOS game called Castle," said Morgan. "It was made out of all of these weird symbols and you'd cruise around the stairways and hallways trying to take out wizards with your scepter. It's one of the oldest games I remember playing. I've been trying to find it but no one has heard of it, so I don't know if it was a South African exclusive. It was fun as a kid. Now it probably wouldn't be that fun to play."
