Introduction

My gaming experience has been a rather mixed one there have been times when that has been my favourite thing to do and there has been times when i haven't touched a gaming station for months on end. I got my first gaming system of my uncle who had got a brand new one when i was about 6 (1995) it was a Sega Mega drive, where the only real games that i can remember playing on it was sonic the hedgehog or the only soccer game for it. I would only seem to play this when i wasn't aloud to go play with my friends outside because it would be raining or something like that. It seemed to be like that for the next couple years until i remember asking for a PlayStation one Christmas when i was about 10 because it was the new big thing. I do remember for the first year that i had that i was on it religiously when i got a chance to mainly playing the latest FIFA game and completing a season with my favourite teams. I was like this for around a year and half and then i only ever seemed to play my PlayStation when i had friends over. I seemed to fall out of interests with computer games when i got to secondary school and must of gone about four years without really touching one, until a group of my friends started to play in an online shooting game which turned out to be a lot of fun for a number of months. In about 2005 i managed to trade a DVD player with my uncle for his PlayStation 2 and had the same sort of feeling as i had done with the PlayStation one. I only ever seemed to play on that console when i had friends over. Two Christmas ago my family got a Wii and i played sonic Olympics for the first two weeks we had it religiously but ever since then i haven't really spent much time with computer games except when spending time with friends.
