Description
Believe it or not it is exactly ten years since my 12th birthday - the year I got my first games console, a Sony Playstation, was 1999. I had already been playing games on the PC, but it wasn't a dedicated games console. Once I got my zealously anticipated new console, I was never off it! Then, in late 2001 on my 14th birthday I got a Playstation 2. I bought a Gamecube in early 2004 with Xmas money (and my friends all had them). My interest in games slowly waned a little but never expired during the middle of the noughties. The excitement I had at the end of the 90s had pretty much gone.Eventually I got back into gaming when I got a Playstation 3 as a gift for Xmas 2008. My pals who owned Wiis weren't too happy with the gimmickyness of them, and I refused to consider an Xbox 360 because my brother already had one and I didn't fancy any of his games. So I went for the aforementioned PS3, and I'm satisfied that I made the right descision.
The three depictions of me drawn above are simply depictions of my furry self at the ages of 12, 17 and 22 respectively! It's been a long decade, but I enjoyed the best games I played during that time - they're not all illustrated above, but it should give you an indication as to what games meant a lot to me over the last ten years. Enjoy!

I've played some of the games you've played, Frey! I'm also a die-hard Sly Cooper fan! I also like Grand Theft Auto, but Need for Speed is my favorite game of the time! Hands down!

I didn't own a Playstation when I was little, but my cousin in New York (who's the same age as you) did, and when I went up to visit the family in my youth, we'd always play it together. Some games I have fond memories of would have to be Spyro, Croc, and NASCAR Rumble, which is pretty much what would happen if NASCAR and Mario Kart mated and had a baby
I see GTA: San Andreas on here

Here is my story about the video games which I had played all my life -
1981
I first saw about the Pacman video game in a petrol staton/corner shop but never played it. I didn't have the time or the money. I first saw about the Space Invaders video game on TV at home. It had inspired me to imitate the sound effects of the Space Invaders video game.
1982 - 1986
I saw so many video games in some shops and in some video game arcades that I couldn't remember the titles of any of those video games. However, I can clearly remember playing some educational video games and some leisure video games on the Commodore 64 computer in our house. I played a video arcade game in a pub in Brisbane in 1985 - Pole Position (car racing video game). I played IFR Flight Simulator in 1985 and in 1986 on the Commodore 64 computer - the game lets you fly a Cessna 172 in a made-up land and terrain which doesn't exist on the real geography of earth. The game had instructions for navigating your way through the made-up land and terrain. I tried it ten times over and I was unsuccessful.

Yes they were, but in this picture I only depict the games and consoles I played and owned since I started good and proper in 1999. Hence the Odyssey and Mega Drive and the like do not get a mention. I think the new Wii U is a waste of time.

Anyone play Sonics ultimate Genesis on the 360. it has many of the sonic classics plus tons of other awesome Sega games (Comix Zone, Streets of Rage 1-3, many RPGs, AND MORE)

Yeah, years through gaming. Something to look at when you lose interest of them. But my years were interesting.

2001-Started playing PS2. Became interested in Star Wars.
2002-Got my own PS2. Started to take an interest in NASCAR, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and gaming itself.
2003-Started to get interested in Sly Cooper.
2005-Started to take an interest in the Sonic series with the game Shadow The Hedgehog. Obtained Xbox Original (I think it was this year)
2007-Got my own Xbox 360. Got into the M games.
2008-Got my Wii. Became active.
2009-Got my PS3. Began my online career.
And now, 2011-More social than ever online, still own all my consoles, and having a helluvah good time with them.

Reminds me of my own gaming childhood, except we were still using the Mega Drive until about '98 when we sold it. Didn't get another console until about 2000 when we got a PS2, which we STILL have!
Made up for lost gaming when my bro jumped on the retro games bandwagon and bought just about every console sold from 1986-2006. No PS3 but.
Still play PC games more than console.

I reckon. I tried playing C&C on a friends Playstation once, I can't imagine how he did it without a mouse and keyboard.
Heh, just remembered that durring a clean up last week I came across a whole box (well, more like a loose pile behind a box) of old PC games, including the original C&C and it's manual.

All the good games that are getting overshadowed by the likes of CoD and the other millions of Fps's
Dont get me wrong there good just i prefer zelda or something diffrent

Not at all. The only FPS games I could really connect to were 'Doom', 'Quake II', 'Goldeneye', '
There are too many overly futuristic war FPS games going about now it makes me cringe. You can't tell which one's the best.

nothings original anymore and the games that are people mostly dont care about due to the high amount of fps's there used to playing

It's all the same to me. The only game online that I've developed interest in is NHL 10, and even then there's the occasional n00b who wants to have hocket fights every intermission.

ah brilliant, apart from various games on an old amstrad computer and a TV boy that had old Atari game. I first played console games in 1998 when i was 12 with the original gameboy and Marioland 1&2, although i didn't get a hom,e vido console till 2000 when i got a N64 with Mario 64. its great to see what game series you're into.
Great job.
