I'm just another one of those guys who grew up with a controller in their hand. I started out on the NES but was pretty well aquainted with the Atari not long after.

As the years went by so did the systems. Super Nintendo. Sega Genesis. Gameboy, then Gameboy color. I didn't even mind carrying around an indigo-colored handheld all over the place. When the N64 came out I knew there was no escaping it. I was hooked and I knew I was going to do this until the day I died.

I love Platforming and Action games, FPS's, and RPG's. Strategy and Turn-Based as well. Pretty much just about anything with an M rating or above nowadays too.

Puzzle games usually bore me, and I just plain don't understand the point of Sports games. (It's not fun in real life, why would it be fun on a TV? Am I right or what?) I feel mostly the same way about Racing games that try to be realistic.

I find that I've become a bit cynical in my adulthood. Games with glaring flaws get returned for a refund, no exceptions. Case in point:

I bought myself a new copy of Prince of Persia for my PS3. Directly after passing through the initial tutorial and starting on some weird convoluted quest with yet another *sigh* princess, the ground literally disappeared causing me to die randomly. Hey these things happen, no problem. After reloading the game I attempted to use Elika's magic to show me where to go, but she was nowhere to be found. Moments later, after backtracking a little, I found her stuck floating there in the air all hindu-style. I pulled the disc out and promptly took it back to the store to get my money back.

I wouldn't pay for brand new tires that had holes in them, so why would I pay for an obviously unfinished game? I mean, if a game is hyped up to be the second coming of Jesus, I expect it to be at least a fairly decent gaming experience. Granted, PoP wasn't exactly hyped up to godly proportions, my point still stands.

Occasionally I'll play online games. Mostly I just play Jedi Academy Multi-Player.
