[QUOTE="Admin, post: 70541, member: 1"] [IMG]https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2026/03/18/john-carpenter-1773841791026.jpg[/IMG] John Carpenter is famous for being a horror movie icon, having directed everything from Halloween to The Thing. But he loves his video games, too, and has even put his name in front of one: John Carpenter's Toxic Commando, a co-op first-person shooter that recently launched across PC and consoles. So, we thought we’d ask John himself what his favorite video games of all time are, plus a few he’s really looking forward to. As you’d expect, John Carpenter's Toxic Commando is among them, but there’s also mention of the likes of Fallout, Borderlands, and the odd surprise.
