I have been a gamer for most of my life. I remember the first videogame I ever played, that would be Super Mario, and the first mature game I ever played, that would be Starcraft. Even back then I don't own a gaming hardware. If you can call a Brick game a gaming hardware then I owned one, but still...

Anyway after the NES(which I called the Family Computer back then) and the PC, I discovered the Playstation. Here is where the addiction started. I started going to places where they rent their Playstations so I could play Twisted Metal 4, Eternal Wings, Road Rash: Jailbreak and Marvel Vs. Capcom. From then on I discovered that there are genres meaning there are divisions of what games are and there are lots of games out there other than the ones that could be played on that gaming shop. Eventually I opened up to platformers, RPGs, survival horror games, almost all the other genres, except for sports game which I deem pointless. Why play a videogame sport when you can play a real one?

So anyway I also went to the PC to play Starcraft again,complete with the cheats, Counter Strike, and Diablo 2. Every Christmas I tell my parents if they could please buy me a PC or a Playstation. Still, no.

2000 came and out came XBox from Microsoft and Gamecube from Nintendo, with Sony showing up with their PS2. I honestly don't know that there was a Nintendo 64 when I was playing with Sonys thing. Now there are 3 major platforms and still I don't own one. When E3 came and showed up with the PS3, Wii and XBox 360 my mom finally bought me a Sony. Playstation. That's it. No 3 at the end, or at least 2. Just a plain old Playstation. I was still ecstatic. I finally played and finished Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy 6, Suikoden 2(4 times), Castlevania Symphony of the Night(4 times), Parasite Eve 2, and a bunch of games I was dying to play when I was a kid, plus some obscure games I only discovered when I searched through the net for something new to play. Anyway that Playstation lasted for a full year before finally retiring. I love that thing. Still the world moved on and I kept up with the latest news, hoping that one day I could be Master Chief, Samus in FPS, and Solid Snake in a jungle. That day came.

It was when all three consoles that are now currently being milked by their respective companies (namely PS3,Wii,X360) I have had my PS2. Well, it wasn't technically mine because it was given to me as a loan from a friend. With it I played Shin Megami Tensei Devil Summoner 2 and Persona 3, both great games, Metal Gear Solid 2:Pure Awesomeness In A Single Disc, Splinter Cell:Chaos Theory Sam Kicks Ass, Fatal Frame 3: Officially The Longest And Scariest Game I Played, and other games. Sadly, all good things must come to an end. When I've just beaten the fire boar boss in Shadow Of The Colossus(a great game), my friend went and bought the PS2 back. I want to say I shed some tears losing it but no,  we must be contented on what we've accomplished, and hope the next time there will be more. That's why right now still even if I can't play a GTA4, Assassins Creed, Dragon Age, Red Dead Redemption, Halo 3, Super Mario Galaxy, I still keep up with the latest gaming news, hoping that one day I would be able to play them even if the world moved on. Gaming is timeless. While you're all playing your Super Mario Theft Auto: Master Chief Meets Nathan Drake On An Assassins Creed Dream Thingy, I hope to be playing at least Killzone 2. Single player is fine with me.

As long as I still play., any good game would do.
