First Game Purchase EVER: Paperboy for NES
I loved the Paperboy arcade game (even though I could barely hold on and keep myself in the seat) and was INSISTANT that I get to buy it from the KB Toys store... Probably the worst piece of crap I ever put into that console.
Most recent: Bioshock
I finally was able to get a PS3 last year... I did my research and only purchased games that were VERY highly acclaimed and I had a good inclination that I'd enjoy: ACII, Batman:ArkhamAsylum, UnchartedI/II, MGS4, and Bioshock.
I've played and enjoyed FPSs... CoH:MW was fun and had a gripping storyline, Halo on PC was fun, and I really liked the HalfLife series on PC, as well. Great story, cool upgrade system, unique gameplay... Bioshock was hailed as one of the best things ever seen in FPS history. And I just couldn't get into it.
I guess I've played too many REAL RPGs that allowed broad variances in gameplay and character customization to see how Bioshock's system was so mind-blowing. And then the story felt completely phoned in. A megalomaniacal tyrant working behind the scenes, a "reformed" sciantist seeking to redeem herself and repair the damage of her research, or is she... A chance to release or destroy Oh, wait! A betrayal by your benefactor! This is so... so... obvious. [Eject]
