The first game I actually really played were some of the old Mario titles... then came Goldeneye
Of course my one true first game was Halo: Combat Evolved. That was the day games stopped being a casual divergence with me... that was the day my eyes were opened for the first time. I made a profile, tried to call myself 'Trex' but mispelled it, and I liked the mispell
The young James Burnside dissapeared that night... from then on it was only Vrex.
Then when the Xbox 360 came along it was Vrex360.
(I would have made that my gamertag but some prick beat me to it.)
