video games and me

This is my first time writing a blog in gamespot. I used to write a blog on games on another site but my friends complaint that they wouldnt want to read anymore of my article on games so i decided that gamespot, a site that focuses on games wou;d be the best place to write about games.

First and foremost let me give a a history of my gaming background. I was born in 1985. I couldnt really remember the first game that I played but I believe it was a game called postman which i played on DOS and later hooked with tetris, in its first incarnation (i think it was). Although my gaming experience started on the PC, my deep interest in gaming developed when I was around 4 or 5 when my cousing got an NES. I remember we used to play Mario overnight for a few days. That was when i started to pester my parents into buying an NES of my own. A few years down the road, the next gen of gaming came. I was torn apart between the SNES and SEGA genesis as my parents said they would only buy one of them for me. Despite my love for Nintendo, I chose the genesis, cause I was super hyped about Sonic. I never regretted that choice because Sonic and Knuckles is still one of my fav game of all time and another game was a side-scroller shooter alien soldier. I would play those games for hours on end. I had a brother who studied overseas ever sinceI was little. He came back home when I was 12 and boy he sure brought back a major suprise. He was the one who introduced me to PlayStation. He didnt have a whole lot of games but he had some of the best that had to be offered at the time. Those games were crash, resident evil, need for speed, tekken, and FIFA. He told me that resident evil was his first PS game and because we never knew how important a memory card was back in the days, he had to finish the game in one sitting, often pausing when he goes to class, and restarts all over again if he dies. Looking at games nowadays with built in hard drive and all, its hard to imagine that video games would get so advanced in what to me felt like so short a time. Currently, I own an xbox 360 and a PS3. I had wanted to get a wii but my budget does not allow me to. Between the two console, I would have to say that I play the 360 much more than the ps3 because at the moment I have a lot more games for the 360 than the ps3...but that might not be the always the case as we are seeing a lot of good titles shipping in for the ps3 later on. I like playing video games. I enjoy video games.I love video games.
