My Videogame History (proof that I know what I'm doing)
I've played videogames from about the age of 5 to 11. Thats about 6 YEARS! I've seen and played videogames from the sega dreamcast to the nintendo Wii and they've all been great. But I have to give most of the credit to my older 15 year old cousin christopher. He was the one who got me into videgames and I've stuck with them forever. When I was younger he used to bring his gamecube to my house so we could play together. Then on my 7th birthday my parents got me my own gamecube. So he didn't have to bring his anymore. I've also had a ps2 and nitendo64 for quite a while. (can't really remember when we first got those) Then on the Christmas of 2005 my parents got me an Xbox360. And on the Christmas of 2006 they got me the nitendo Wii. I hope that I'll still be playing videogames for quite a while.
