I've been gaming for as long as I can remember. I used to play on old Ataris and the NES, but I was first hooked by Super Mario 64. Ever since, I've always been a pretty big Nintendo gamer with The Legend of Zelda franchise being my favorite, but I love gaming on the PC and any other console provided the games are good. I prefer games to have solid stories and interesting characters, making me a fan of just about any genre, though I dislike turn-based combat (ironic seeing how turn-based RPGs often have the best stories and characters).
