Jordan Estrada – Basketball guard

For junior guard Jordan Estrada, the name is Bond, James Bond when he is playing the newly redefined first-person shooter “007: GoldenEye Reloaded.”

A remake from the original first-person shooter “GoldenEye 007” that debuted on the Nintendo 64 in 1997, Reloaded gives old-school fans of the original memories from the past with similar characteristics.

Estrada received the game as a gift for Christmas and it turned his break into a daily routine of playing against his roommate and other friends.

“I played it every other day when I was on break with my roommate Joe,” Estrada said. “The first time I got it, I played it ‘til about 4 (a.m.).”

The beginning of the spring semester forced him to reduce his gaming time to weekends and after basketball games, Estrada said.

Estrada said he likes how the gameplay remained the same but with better graphics, it kept what made the game memorable in the first place.

One particular game setting Estrada likes to play is the “Man with the Golden Gun.” Whoever is first to obtain the golden gun has the superior advantage because it only takes one bullet to kill his opponent.

Back at home in the Bay Area, Estrada has a brother whom he enjoys playing against.

Both of them are able to relive memories playing with each other when they were younger.

Sean Edgecumbe – Baseball infielder

When it comes to finding the perfect first-person shooter game, freshman infielder Sean Edgecumbe is all about “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.”

“Modern Warfare 3” is one of the best first-person shooter games out on the market today, according to GameInformer Magazine.

It delivers a variety of content whether it is playing single player, special ops or multiplayer.

Edgecumbe prefers to take his gaming skills online, rushing around every map he plays equipped with a ACR 6.8 assault rifle, earning every kill he can.

Contrary to popular belief, noob campers are people who would rather sit back in one spot and go negative in kills to deaths.

“I go for the high killstreaks like the Attack Helicopter, Reaper and Pave Low,” Edgecumbe said.

As for Edgecumbe’s favorite map to play on, the close encounter and bridge-crossing mission level would be his choice.

One big reason why Edgecumbe enjoys playing “Modern Warfare 3” is his ability to reconnect at home in Los Altos, Calif., with his brother and play alongside him.

“All my friends suck at the game, so I play it a lot with my brother back at home,” Edgecumbe said.

It helps fill that void that is created when you leave home for college, Edgecumbe said.

Markell Williams – Football DB

For sophomore defensive back Markell Williams, being a “rookie” compared to his teammates at playing video games does not necessarily mean he can’t earn a win here or there.

One memorable game he had was with a fellow teammate of his in “NBA 2K12.”

With the game in double-overtime, Williams’ Oklahoma City Thunder needed to score to win.

Normally, Russell Westbrook would be “utilized” if he needed to score a bucket, Williams said.

But that wasn’t the case: Neither Russell Westbrook nor Kevin Durant, the top two players on the team, would touch the ball.

Shooting guard “Old man” James Harden would score the winning shot at buzzer.

Moments of excitement and memorable times like this is why he enjoys playing, Williams said.

It gives his teammates and him the ability to compete with each other off the field.

“We always play each other, it’s a big rivalry especially when we get in the hotel on away games,” Williams said.

It’s the same way with his brothers back at home, he said.

“Every time I go back home I play with my brothers,” Williams said. “Definitely bragging rights when we play.”

This top-selling basketball game received a 9.5 out of 10 rating from GameInformer Magazine, beating out all competitors.

“The graphics are excellent, everything is so real, upon every movement you see everything,” Williams said.

Josh McCarver – Basketball center

When senior center Josh McCarver is not preoccupied with homework or competing on the hardwood, it does not mean he is not having fun.

McCarver is doing his best every day as a warrior traveling on a quest full of adventure in order to save the world from the evil villain Alduin, a Dragon god who intends to destroy the world in “The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.”

“If I don’t have homework or basketball I probably play it about six times a week,” McCarver said. “My worst I ever stayed up was 5:30 a.m.”

One big selling point that made McCarver like the game a lot is the way it was set up to make it almost impossible to play the game twice the same way.

It’s estimated more than 3.5 million copies sold within the first 48 hours, according to elderscrolls.com.

“My favorite thing about the game is you can play 100 hours of gameplay and still not see everything the game offers,” McCarver said. “Every time you start as a new character in a new game, you get a whole new experience. There is always new places you find and different play styles uncover different areas, so it encourages you to play it over and over again.”

McCarver said the best weapon he likes to use in “Skyrim” is called the Daedric Warhammer, “it murders everything.”
