It's currently 2.49 AM exactly here now in the UK, I'm a bit of a night owl as you can tell! I was thinking of what to write about and then I thought how about share with you my goal of obtaining as many (decent) games as possible for the lowest prices possible. Seeing as I'm a poor student, I can't afford to buy all the new releases :( as I have to save if there's something I really reeaally want. Luckily I do love old games, I seem to mostly play PS1 and 2 games at the moment as I have quite a few sentimental favourites such as Star Ocean the second story, Rayman, Tomb Raider, Legend of the Dragoon, Kingdom Hearts, SSX 3, Valkyrie Profile 2, Grandia 2, Project Zero and of course some of the Final Fantasy series. I do also tend to play RPG's and Platform games mostly but will occasionally play others, though I completely suck at Shooters.

I really need to get hold of Ico for PS2 it just looks intriguing and I'm looking foward to the remake along with Shadow of the Colossus that's released soon!

Here's a trailer for Ico, if you're interested.

Also if there's any good games anyone can recommend, that I could find for cheap, that would be great!
I'll let you know if I have it or not as I can't be arsed listing them all xD. On N64, Gamecube, Wii, PS1 and 2, Xbox and Gameboy advanced/DS. I'm mostly looking for PS1 and 2 though... and I really need to find Banjo Kazooie for N64, I loved that and I lost it, so annoying!

Anyway I'll try update pretty soon again and write some more, I'm just getting used to blog writing but so far seems actually quite fun and I love reading others on here aswel.

Thank you Destructoid for bringing such an awesome community together!

I got into gaming when I was exactly 10 years old as I got an N64 for my birthday and thought it was the best thing ever! I got the limited edition Pokemon design and even though the Wii U looks a little rediculous, I really can't ever dislike Nintendo, Mario has my heart!

Since then, now 12 years later, I still love gaming and I'm glad it still finds time to be in my life now as I've had a few ups and downs through the years and at a particular rough point in my life, almost completely neglected video games and ignored the one thing that can consistently and reliably made me happy. In the past few months I have started to take more of an interest again and would like to not just be a casual gamer, perhaps playing a DS game every few weeks, no, I want it to be much more important than that. Lately I've really wanted to get into blogging, particularly concerning games and perhaps some other random crap! Lets wait and see...
