As promised in my earlier blog (which I'm sure no one read), this blog will discuss my game collection, if you read it please comment, please let me knwo what you think or add your own collection, but please keep any critisims constructive.

I am very new to blogging so we will have to see how this goes.

Not long ago I recieved my "Serious Collection" Emblem, even though I should have gotten it a ot earlier I didn't simply because I add my games on the list from memory, as I don't feel like searching old stored boxes full of old PC and N64 games.

Upon writing this my collection features 212 games, all of which I've either bought or recieved as Christmas/Birthday presents, there is still a few games not present as I started adding them late and there is always some I forget, or some which is not even included in the GameSpot library.
g
I have games spanding over 9 platforms, some of which are handhelds, I have not added any of my 30-50 Gameboy Color games which I received as a present a long time ago, partly because most of them aren't very good, and because I stored them away and I really don't feel like searching for them.

The consoles I currently own is a Playstation 2, Xbox 360, Nintendo 64, Nintendo Wii and while not really a console, I own a PC.

I also have a Nintendo Gameboy Color and Gameboy Advanced SP, I used to have the regular Advanced, but I lost it in the 2004, Tsunami.

My favorite console at the moment is the 360, while I can't deny all the good years I've had with my PS2 I still prefer the 360.
The Wii is also very entertaining, but the lack of a Network adapter and more good games makes it a dust collector at the moment.

I started my game collection back when I first bought my Nintendo 64, but back then games for the console (atleast in Norway) was VERY expensive, so expensive in fact that the kid I was at the time could only afford to buy one or two games a year. The gams usually cost 120-140 dollars each, and back then that was a lot more money than it is now, not to mention the fact that I was so young I couldn't even read English.

Back then I had no plans on starting a game collection, I had more than enough with the few games I owned at the time.

It was not until I got my Playstation 2 in early 2001 that I started something which could turn into a semi-impressive collection, atleast amongst my friends and family.

I really enjoy playing games and I spend most my time and money on exactly that, so the games started racking up and by the end of the Playstation 2 days (which aparantly is starting back up again with GoW2 and FFXIII) I had almost 60 PS2 games in my collection, along with PC and other games racking up about 180total games.

I've never bought a game just to add another number to my collection though, while many of the games I've bought have been straigt out horrible, unplayable and worthless I have bought them with the intention of spending time playing them, but should the game turn out to be a waste of time atleast I had another title to my collection.

I am always willing to give a game a chance, and I've never regretted buying any (short of a few MMORPG's and a couple of major dissapointments) game. I don't really care about having a lot of money, which is probably a result of how I grew up, not having to worry about food or shelter and always having a family which provided all I needed, and they still do. So I can be completely reckless and blow all my money on something I know nothing about, and still get by just fine, I'll have more money once my next paycheck arrives, so whats the big deal...

As I said, my collection is something I'm proud of, and every title added feels like a small accomplishment, I currently have no pictures to show you, but maybe I will later.

If you take a look at my collection of games you will see that I try out a lot of different generes and forbidden>Thanks for reading, please comment.

Some people just don't have opinions. Like Cook66.
Cook66 must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could Cook66 possibly have for not rating a single film?
