Been playin games since I could remember...first started on the good ol' Colecovision (with the 2600 add-on!). But playing Super Mario Bros. at the corner market at the age of 5 is what got me hooked. One of the happiest days in my life is still coming home from school on my birthday, only to find a a brand new NES w/ the gun and SMB/Duck Hunt....along with 8 games and the arcade stick. Good times. Since that time, I have owned the following systems at one time or another....Genesis, SNES, TurboGrafx-16 (I think...just for a hot minute tho), N64, PSone, Dreamcast, Lynx, Jaguar (I know, I know...but there were some great games! IRON SOLDIER ! AVP!), Jaguar CD (OK, no excuses there...lol), Game Gear, Dreamcast, Xbox, PSP, and Xbox 360. Damn! Nowadays I game primarily on my 360. I have no inherent brand loyalty...I just think MS has had the best consoles out starting with the Xbox. I rarely if ever play my PSP...its a launch unit, but it looks brand new! But dont get it twisted...its great for emulators and there are some great games for it. I used to read GamePro as a lad....but I honestly liked EGM better! Sorry GP! But you guys were definitely a close second. I do like the commenting on GP tho because its the best interface...much better than IGN. I usually come on here while Im smokin or killin time at work. Or sometime I, just bored and too lazy to wanna even play games. And Halo is the best game series ever. Peace......
