Favorite Games

If Kayla is playing anything during her off-time, chances are that she is delighting in a replay of “The Elder Scrolls 5” or having a good time with her friends in a D&D campaign. Among the many games she has played over the years, “The Sims 2,” “The Sims 3,” “Pokemon,” “Final Fantasy X” as well as “Final Fantasy X-2,” “Guitar Hero,” “Rockband,” “Grand Theft Auto 4,” “Yu-Gi-Oh,” and “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare” (2009) have been the mainstay of her gaming journey.

Favorite Console

While Kayla prefers to play on her PC these days, the Nintendo Gameboy Advance SP, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo 3DS, and PS2 are the consoles that will always hold a special place in her heart.
