Just as the topic says , what would you say is the game that changed your perspective on games in general ? Meaning motivations to certain genres , the game that started your gaming career in total ? Anything basicly having to do with inspiration , possibly even a game that has now landed you a job writing reviews for a magazine .

I would probably have to say my real first shooter was Duke Nukem . I mean maybe now that we look back at it , the graphics are crap , and ALOT can be improved on , but i would have to say this game is a huge conbtributor to why i love Shooters so much . I still remember going into the strip clubs , the cheesy catch phrases , and ofcourse endless gore i was exposed to at such a young age , heh i still even remember crying when my Dad took away since it was too violent . As you can see even the smallest games can have such a huge impact on who we are today .

Whats yours ?

crash bandicoot the original was the first ever game i played at thats what really started my obsession over games but the games that made me start really obsessing over games and becoming an avid gamer would have to be the year 2005 god of war, resident evil4 and shadow of the colossus

I can't say it was one game. My gramps owned an arcade back when I was little boy. My parents was constanly laving mw with my grampa and since he was keeping eye on the business I was there with him most of the time. So I played most of the arcades back then. I was not abel to reach the controller so I had to use a chair :D. BEst thing was that I did noth ave to pay for anything 😀

And it just sticked with me till now and I think it will remain like that 😀

I got to thank both DOOM and QUAKE for getting me into shooters. Also, I would like to thank the Final Fantasy Series for getting me into RPGs and Gran Turismo for Racing.

This question recalls, to me, the countless hours I spent in front of my SEGA Genesis playing Sonic 2, Golden Axe, Wild Wild West ( A Chester Cheetah video game, believe it or not) and other sorts of games. However, what really sealed the deal for me to being a gamer was the day I picked up a copy GTA 3. In about a few hours, I came to the realization that this was to be wave of the future, and I wanted to be there to see the progress of video games every step of the way.

The first game I was addicted to was Spyro 2 on Ps1, played it almost everyday and ever since then I've just played different games. I didn't play my PS3 alot when I got it but then I bought Cod4 and that got me into FPS.

GTA vice city was one of the first games i played alot of (other than pokemon! ) so i guess thats it. on the ps3 COD4 got me into FPS's and shooters in general as i didnt used to be into them until this amazing game came out.

and ive always been a fan of FIFA and had every FIFA since 2002 i think.

Hmm… good question.

The first game I recall ever playing was the Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt two-pack on the original NES. It was 1990 and my grandparents returned from their annual Arizona trip and brought along a Nintendo system for my siblings and I. From that moment on, I played quite a few games but I never really seriously got into gaming.

I'd say that the moment I became a serious gamer was in 1998 when I saved up enough cash to buy my very own system; the Sony Playstation. Up to that moment, my parents had bought my siblings and I our systems, so buying a system with my own money was a pretty big deal at the time. And the reason I bought a PSX over anything else? Well, I was flipping through an issue of GamePro (or maybe it was EGM) and I came across the previews section. There were the world-exclusive first screenshots of Metal Gear Solid. That was the moment that made me into the gamer that I am today.

The first game I ever played was Crash Bandicoot on PS1. It didn't get me seriously into gaming though. FIFA 06 and FIFA 07 kicked it up a notch then GTA: San Andreas kicked it up another notch but the killer moment was trophies for me.
