Video Games: what's up sophomore year?

So after the summer off, I'm back to blogging, many thanks to my class Video Games & Gaming for requiring motivating me to get back to it. I was gonna blog about media stuff I did over the summer but just never had the time to, unfortunately.

This blog is going to focus on Video Gaming, what games I play, what games I don't play; what games I love, what games I hate; what games other people play; what games have affected other forms of media, and so on. I have some ideas but I'll basically be writing about whatever topic related to video games that I feel like.

So let's see. I don't consider myself a serious gamer. When I have extra time or money, I'll usually immerse myself in some other form of media, like watching a movie or TV or reading or something like that. But when I'm in the mood to just relax and not think too much, I play video games. I'm gonna try to think back at what video games I remember that I have played over the years:

-Tetris; Gameboy

-Sonic the Hedgehog: Sega Genesis

-Aladdin: Sega Genesis

-Harry Potter 1, 2: Gameboy Color

-Pokemon Blue, Red, Yellow: Gameboy Color

-Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Time, Oracle of Ages: Gameboy Advance

-Super Mario 64: Nintendo 64

-Mario Kart: Nintendo 64, Wii

-Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: Nintendo 64

-Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask: Nintendo 64

-Mortal Kombat: Nintendo 64, PS2

-Super Smash Brothers: Nintendo 64

-Pokemon Snap: Nintendo 64

-Sonic Adventure 2: GameCube

-Dance Dance Revolution: PS2

-Guitar Hero 1, 2, 3: PS2

-Kingdom Hearts 1, 2: PS2

-Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

-Rockband: xBox

-Wii Sports: Wii

-Wii Fit: Wii

-The Sims: PC

-and millions of others on the computer from websites. Mostly:

-Pogo: Poppit, Scrabble, Mahjong Safari, Word Whomp

So those are the games that I remember playing and the ones that I have played the most. See, I told you that I'm not a serious gamer; I play certain games religiously but I don't buy too much into the franchise. Future blogs may focus on some of these specifically. But I hope you enjoy my blog on Video Games for Fall 2009.
