Gaming History:
It started with the Atari 2600 and has continued through the PS3 and XBOX 360. I was raised into gaming and have made it an integral part of my daily routine. I remember my first gaming experiences as clear as any other stand out event of my life. I remember playing Pole Position and Donkey Kong. Being so young but still realizing how utterly disappointing Ghostbusters was for the Atari.

Gaming has finally hit the mainstream. Video Game premiers are no different than movie premiers now a days. Look at the massive events held for Modern Warfare 2, Halo 3, and Uncharted 2. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't proud of how far its risen. I love video games. More-so the more vintage games which relied on imagination and building fascinating worlds and experiences for the player than those which simply look to follow a trend.

I have strong feelings toward the more recent trends in gaming which appear troubling to me. Haha look more blogs on such things soon enough.

However, as it stands, I'm a gamer. A true gamer that understands what makes a fine game. It goes beyond graphics or bits or idiotic console fanboy wars. Gaming is about immersing yourself in another world. It's about striking your imagination, and giving you an experience that'll remain in your memory.

Latest blog is up at www.INASECTV.com

It's a sneak peek at Sony's hit MLB franchise. 2K Games is going to have their hands full with this monster on the horizon, and I just don't think Million Dollar perfect game is going to be enough. Hope you guys enjoy. Later I'll be posting my top five sports games of all-time. Will be interested to see your take on it. Take Care Fellow Gamers!

If I buy the show from last year, and I don't know from baseball, will I have a good time?

Definitely, last year's MLB The Show was an amazing game. It'll be interesting to see if this year's installment could top last year's efforts. To coin an old phrase, the game is easy to pick up and play and difficult to master. So, I highly recommend it to anyone.
