I am a Gamer!

I love video games. I am a huge dork or whatever you want to call me but I DO! I love playing video games. I have for a long time.  Even when I worked on board cruise ships I played video games that we had in the crew mess. At present I have a NES, a Game Cube, a WII, a PS3 and an original Xbox. Which all work. I am a big Nintendo fan though, and I am not a fan of first person shooters. Those games for those of you not hip to the lingo include titles like Call of Duty, Doom etc. Jerry said that I like RPGs. Really... Now I sound like even a bigger dork!
I decided to tell you this because in the past 2 days I have become obsessed. My amazing wonderful fiancee Jerry bought me the new Zelda game for WII. Skyward Sword. It is fantastic. The best Nintendo has come out with in a while. To properly review this game let me tell you this. It has everything that makes Zelda wonderful, you have to talk to people and you have "puzzles" of sort to figure out, you have a huge mission with a bunch of funny little ones, you are still Link and you still are in love with Zelda. Now what makes it better, you actually get to speak back to people at points with choices to be a jerk if you are so inclined, there seems to be a bit more realism in this very fantasy world, the "puzzles" are actually really hard. Now the bit of bad, Zelda is kind of annoying and you are not to sad when she does get kidnapped, I will save her because as Link that is what I do with my life but in this particular version I am was not inclined to be as concerned with her "safety" at first so to speak. But that is it it, the game is stellar.
So stellar in fact last night (the first night I had it) I played until 3am. Tonight I played for a good while and as I write this Dustin is starting his own file on the game. I am actually enjoying watching him try his hand at the game.
I am truly a Nintendo fan through and through. I play a few games on the Xbox and PS3 (Little Big Planet is amazing!) but I am a Mario and Zelda girl those are the games I live for. The games that turn me into a big gamer nerd and I am proud of it!

  3. I'm not a gamer but I live with one. The games that tend to suck me in are physical like Dance Central and Guitar Hero. Though I would say I was addicted to Animal Crossing a long time ago.
