Well, guess what? I am a video game geek. Guess you could have never guessed that from the video game sword or the small arms and skinny body with glasses and nerdy smile. Anyway, my passion (outside of Flyers hockey and Eagles football) is video game role playing games, or RPGs for short. Specifically, console RPGs. More specifically, as you may have guessed, Final Fantasy games!

About Me:

I have been a fan of video games since playing Rampage on Commodore 64 back when I was like 6 or so. After that, I got a Nintendo and Final Fantasy. After the Nintendo, I was given a Sega Genesis and eventually a Sega CD. I had such classics as Phantasy Star IV, Eternal Champions (and ECCD), NBA Jam CD, Snatcher (one of Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima’s originals), Lunar: The Silver Star, Lotus II: RECS, Shinobi III and every Sonic game through Sonic and Knuckles.

It was after the Sega Genesis, when I was old enough to start spending my own money, that I became so interested in Sony game systems. I purchased, with my hard-earned cash: a Playstation. I bought WipEout 3 with it and quickly amassed an AWESOME collection of games for it. These include every Final Fantasy game put out for PS1 as well as such classics as Tekken 3, Soul Blade, Legend of Dragoon, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, and of course, Road Rash.

After buying a PS2 when it came out half for the DVD player (which was a new device at the time, and a cool feature equal to the inclusion of a Blu-ray player in PS3), I was hooked on Sony devices. I have found that they provide great value for your buck. I have since invested in a PS3 and a PSP (which I take with me wherever I go).

About the Blog:
I hope to use this blog to inspire discussion about video games in general and many of the great upcoming games, as well as many great classic titles of the past. This is my first blog, so we’ll see where it goes, but I want to keep it clean and video game related. I hope to be able to provide my opinion of NHL 11 when it comes out in September as an introductory review. Spare me the spam posts in this blog, and I will, in turn, spare everyone the anti-Microsoft bull****. I will try to maintain a fair and balanced opinion, though I will stick to reviewing and offering opinions of PlayStation products just because that is what I own (and I do NOT currently have the spare $300 to try out the other console).

Thanks for your time and go make some aliens or hostile terrorists eat some projectile lead!
