About Video Games.

Hey, welcome to my blog! Here's my background on video games:

I've been playing video games since I was three, and the first game that I played was Super Mario 1. I beat it with plenty of help from my older brother (5 years older).

Since then, I've had a Nintendo, SNES, Genesis, Game boy, GBA, GBC, GBSP, GBDS, Sega CD, PS, N64, XBOX, PS2, a whole bunch of emulators, XB360, and a Nintendo Wii (which counts as a Gamecube as well).

I'm a fighting game buff, but I play all genres. I'm planning on getting a major on Computer Science (or Programming, either one).

I really love video games, but there is one thing I want established: Although it's a great innovation, I don't want motion sensing controllers to take over the market. It's an awesome alternative, but it should only be an alternative. This is because of how limiting it is in terms of games. Some of my favorite genres would never fit with motion sensing controls.

Real Time Strategy
Vertical shooters like Ikaruga and Horizontal shooters like R-Type
Fighting Games in general
2d games for the most part, especially games like Gunstar Heroes and Contra

I want these types of games to continue to exist, and for that to happen, motion sensing controls like the Wii-mote can't become the standard. That's why I used my 360 most of the time, or my PC.
