30 Days of Gaming: Day 1: Very First Video Game

Preface
Found this on a friend's facebook and thought I'd make a little blog project with it. I've been watching G4's E3 coverage and I have to admit, its been a good 2 years since I've touched a console. I think my last game was FF13 and maybe Halo: Reach with my BF. Sorry I forgot Pokemon White. The point is, besides portable consoles, I have steered clear from console gaming. Most of it is the whole, Console War situation going on. For me, the constant exclusivity of some games on systems has drained my energy, and my wallet. I can't complain considering I own every system but a DSI and 3DS. But 15 Dollars a month instead of 60 per a game, give or take what games comes out ends up being cheaper. Watching E3 reminded me of how much I miss console gaming, but also reminds me that the current direction of gaming does not in anyway appeal to me.
I not only loathe 3D, but I'm not a huge fan of the movement interactivity type gaming style (Wiimote, Kinect, and PS Move). Watching E3, specifically the Xbox 360 Portion was very disheartening, where all the games show a huge amount of interactivity, from everything to Fable and Tom Clancy. It's such a gimmick to me. And while I'm impressed by the Kinect, I have always been a HUGE Sony fan, and I am sad to see them suffer such drawbacks like the hackers and the Japanese Earthquake. There's just something extremely arrogant about Microsoft. Silly Americans. 
So in the spirit of looking back to my old console gaming days, here's my new blogging challenge. Yay! :D



My First Video Game

 

That's right. Duck Hunt. My first game involved a plastic red gun.
