So I have never considered myself much of a gamer, and I still do not really. However, in recent years, my gaming status has seen a major increase. I mean, when I was little, I had the original NES with Duck Hunt and Punch Out. We even had the little robot man. I had the very first GameBoy, the one that was the size of a brick. The we had a Sega, with Sonic and Mortal Kombat, and then a Super Nintendo. Then we had the first PlayStation, on which I mostly played Crash Bandicoot.
But that was it. Until the Wii. And the Nintendo DS (well, now the DSi). Now I find myself playing much more often and finding myself much more invested. My sister was always the one who kept up in the gaming world. She had the new consoles and told me about the crazy games she was playing. I should somewhat blame this new addiction on her and Mick anyway since they cleverly hid a DS for me at his GameStop and helped me stalk a Wii in the first place...
So now I find myself with a membership card to GameStop, which comes with a free magazine subscription keeping me up to date on the gamer world. Plus, now I have Regina in my life to go game shopping with me. I still pretty much stick to the basics, Lego Star Wars, MarioKart, Mortal Kombat, Super Mario, Dance Dance Revolution, Guitar Hero, etc. I have never been one to play a lot of first person shooters or RPGs. Too long and complicated.
Now I have to admit that this post was brought on by the fact that I just picked up my reserved copy of EA Active. This comes close on the heels of hunting down Mortal Kombat for Wii this past weekend and getting the new DSi a few weeks ago. Yea...maybe I am working on being a gammer...(maybe I'll let you know how the new game is later...I'm off to play).
