My dad gave me an Atari in preschool...boy does he regret turning me into a gamer now haha. Games like Tank, River Raid, Frogger, Pitfall, PacMan. I was playing before I could read hehe.

River Raid!!!  I loved that game.  Anyone remember Warlords?  That was the first simultaneous 4-player game I fell in love with.

How about Swordquest?  I was determined to win that contest.

The first game I played though, had to have been Tank or Keystone Capers or something like that on the Atari 2600.

This isn't console gaming, but I got hooked on PC gaming with the old text based games. Pitfall, Hitchhicker's Guide to the Galaxy, Leather Goddesses of Phobos, the Zork games.

Donkey kong country when i was just a boy... then after that i got back into it after watching my friend play ff 7 and 8 and a few other games, then i was hooked



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.

It wasn't till I played a few arcade games at this old department store in town that I really became hooked. I remember spending all day playing Galaga, Pheonix, Mr Do, and others while my grandmother shopped. A couple years later my parents bought me a Colecovision and I haven't stopped playing games since.

To this day I have still my old Coleco. Occasionly I like to bring it out to play some old school games with my wife. Though the poor thing has about had it. I only have one original controller left and the expansion that lets me play atari games no longer works.

 Keystone Capers!  I remember that game because I had trouble reading the title in preschool...

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

I started out with an Atari 2600. I didn't get hooked into game until I got my hands on my Nes. I remember my first games Super Mario/Duck Hunt & Kung Fu.
