***The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing***
This is an "about me" post which describes a bit of my gaming history.
1) Where did I get my name?
I'm a NC State Alumni.
2) How long have I been gaming?
Since I was 7 years old, so over 20 years now. Holy crap I'm starting to get old.
3) What systems have I owned?
Atari, NES, Gameboy, Sega and Sega 32x, N64, PC, Xbox, Wii, and PS3. Although I can't say that I've owned a SNES or PS2, I've had family or friends who have them and I've played them just as much as if I've owned one.
4) What is my all time most favorite game in the whole wide world?
Zelda: OoT and a close second would probably be Warcraft 3.
5) What kind of games do I like?
I like all different kind of genres. FPS, Platform, RPG, strategy, racing, etc. I truly enjoy a variety of games. I guess adventure/RPG are probably my favorites though.
6) What kind of game do I dislike?
The only games I really dislike are games that are similar or identical to other games. For example, I kind of dislike sports games. And its not that I don't like sports, its simply because every year they come out with a new football, racing, or baseball game that is almost exactly the same as the previous year. It's not enjoyable for me to keep buying the same games over and over. Sports are not the only genre that falls into this category, for example, Guitar Hero or Call or Duty have been done to death.
7) How do I rate games?
I have a secret formula. Basically I rate each category (story, gameplay, controls, fun, etc) and plug them into my equation to get an overall total. Its weighted so some categories are more important. The "Fun" category is the most important category and is also the category which is based on my opinion the most.
