My 1st Post

Hello and welcome to my blog. The purpose of my blog is to give a fresh perspective on the video game industry from a member of Generation X. My generation was the first to be exposed to the video game industry with such plat forms as Intellivision and Atari as well as great games such as Pong, Pitfall and Asteroids.

Many of my fellow Gen Xers have noticed the video game industry grow from a seed into the ever ending forest that is the video game industry of today. I being a Father of four children am witness to the new generation of gaming fanatics. I along with my son Matthew spend countless hours playing games such as Halo and the ever impressive Call of Duty 4. Videos games have enabled both me and my son to have a common desire to play video games while strengthening our relationship as a family.

All of the members of my family play some sort of video game whether it is my daughter Kassie playing a game of Guitar Hero 3 on our Playstation 2, my youngest daughter Lily playing a game on her Nintendo Wii, my teenage daughter Kim playing a game of Bejeweled on her cell phone to my wife Sarah playing a game of Peggle on our home PC. While each family member choses to play a different type of game on a totally different gaming platform the basics of video game enjoyment to not differ, it is about having fun.

From this point I will use this blog to document game reviews, industry news and viewpoint on today's gaming environment. I encourage anyone who reads this blog to pick up a game of your chosing and enjoy the art of gaming.
