The first video game console I ever had was the original Atari ... complete with Combat, Pong, and Space Invaders. I remember when Pac-Man on the Atari was the "Halo" of it's time. The next console I had after that was an Xbox, over 20 years later. I bought it to play NCAA Football (NCAA 99 on the PC was getting really old), and for not much else. Since then, I've expanded a little bit into a sort of casual gamer. I'm usually always in the middle of an NCAA dynasty, and also have one, sometimes two, other games rolling at the same time.

I just finished "Halo" this week. LOL ... I warned you I was "low-key"! Anyway, I was bitten by the Halo bug a few months ago when playing deathmatch with some friends, and finally got the game myself about a month ago. It's a very cool game, although very repetitive in some parts. What I really liked about it is the fact that there were many checkpoints along the way, so that when you die, you never have to go back to a spot where you were 30 minutes ago. So you never get frustrated playing it.

I did pick up "Battlefront" the day it came out, so I'm not totally behind the times. So I'll be working on that, and maybe one of my older games that I haven't gotten to yet. Maybe "Freedom Fighters" or "Indiana Jones". We'll see ... more later.
