SCP Gaming - Breaking Through the Crust

And so it Begins

I have a passion for video games that began quite some time ago. Though I will not bore you will the details and progression of my obsession, I will highlight where it all began.

When I was a wee little lad, my father purchased the IBM 8088 for $3000. My excitement to get my hands on the impressive 4.6 MHz Intel 8088 was overwhelming, but my brother's surpassed me. Within a week of owning the computer, he had spend his life's savings on Flight Simulator only to find that our impressive 8808 didn't have enough hard drive for it. What did my brother do? Clean out the hard drive, of course. When I say clean out, I mean that our brand new, windows running machine was suddenly a few years behind its own time; only running DOS since Windows was removed to make room for the highly pixelated Flight Simulator. Needless to say, my father was a bit miffed.

I have come a long way since my days of playing Snake, Scorched Earth, Impossible Mission, and, of course, Flight Simulator. My introduction to console gaming was a bit tamer, but I must at least mention that it was the 2nd generation Atari console that drew me in. Lastly, my introduction to portable gaming was none other than the big honker of a beautiful color system, the Atari Lynx. While not entirely true, since I played a friend's GameBoy plenty growing up, the Atari Lynx was the first system I owned myself. I will never forget Ninja Gaiden or APB...*sigh*

My gaming has not calmed over the years. In fact, it has heated up a bit. I currently own an XBox 360, PSP, and a great computer system. My bank account has restricted me from PS2, PS3, Wii, and DS Lite. This blog will, thus, be centered on reviewing 360, PSP, and PC games and though World of Warcraft is taking up an increasing ammount of my hard drive, I assure you I will not be deleting Windows to make room.

Until the first review-
