Howdy!

Hi, I noticed a link on the official Playstation forum looking for old geezers who play games .
I'm 40 years old and from Northern Ireland. I stopped playing games for about 18months, the only action my Playstation saw was when my nephew was down. Anyways, I have started playing again. I have been playing Killzone and I have been getting my ass kicked, I'm very rusty

 

Hi Jkrohn1 . I started playing on a ps1, played all sorts of games on that console. Then bought a PS2 and Xbox, played loads of FPS and some 3rd person.
I have Crysis 2 to play next and then I'm going to take another run through Metal Gear Solid 4 now that they've introduced trophies into the mix.
Thanks for the welcome Spruijt

 

Thanks for the welcome.
Yes I would be up for playing online. This Wednesday is bad for me, I will be out this Wednesday but will make it for the following Wednesday for a bit o' Killzone3. When I stopped gaming regularly about 18 months ago, I sold my mic and camera(damn you Ebay ), so I will have to see about replacing them, but be warned I'm a man of few words
I have been about music forums for quite a few years, and like to contribute on a daily basis, so I will stop by here and contribute what I can as often as I can, that would be good.
I like my First Person Shooters, and some 3rd person.
The first FPS that I played was Medal Of Honour Underground on the PS, hooked up to a massive 14 inch portable. Another big game on the PS1 was Castrol Honda Racing and the Die Hard series
I then moved onto the Puss2.The first game that I bought on the PS2 was Medal Of Honour Frontline(funny enough it had nothing to do with killing dog or cat fleas) I played it to death, graphics amazed me .
A few months later I bought an Xbox, it came with a copy of Halo, and it was by far the best shooter I had played, I played an awful lot of shooters on that console, if you can think of a FPS game, then I've probably played it on the Xbox. Halo1 & 2 got played a lot, great gameplay, graphics and music score.
I then bought an Xbox360, I couldn't get one on release day, so I had to wait for 2 weeks for the console. A mate and I brought it down home and I couldn't wait to see what Call Of Duty 2 looked like on my new 24 inch TV. We got it connected up and were greeted by a screen telling me that the console needed service, I was feckin' gutted. So I took it back to the shop and had to wait a week for another console. The second console lasted about 3 months. My Xbox360 experience was dreadful, all in all I went through 5 consoles and 3 repairs. The only thing that I kept the 360 for was to see what Halo3 was like. It was a huge disappointment(offline, I hadn't got Internet at the time). So I put my console, 3 controllers, remote, headset, Halo3 and about 6 other games on Ebay, sold it and bought a PS3. The thing that pissed me off more than my 360 breaking down was the fact that the Microsoft Service Repair Centres, just didn't seem to care about all the trouble I had, they just offered me the choice of 1 free game, from 5 available or another controller. I built up a deep hatred for Microsoft
Then onto the PS3, some of the games I bought at first just didn't run properly, but at least my console worked 100%. I started to play other games, apart from my usual FPS on the PS3. I think one of the first games was Ratchet And Clank, very good game, enjoyed it a lot, very colourful. Of all the games I've played on the puss3, Uncharted 2 has impressed me the most. I have yet to play Uncharted 3, but I will pick it up and play it over Christmas. Right now I'm going to play Crysis 2, I will see if the hype about the graphics is justified.
Thank you for the invite Slaine, I have sent you a friends request.

 

I just posted an introduction there, and I am making a few posts so that I can be part of a forum/board.

 

I'm a member of a few music forums, most of them give you full access to the forum before you join, so that you can see the entire board and make up your mind whether or not it's for you. I realise that's not the case here, and it seems to be different on gaming forums/communities in general, sorry if I have caused any offence.
