  Top 10 Countdown

  I have decided to do a "Top 10 Countdown of my favorite games EVER" This will come in 10 parts on ten random days when I have the time to post a blog. So let the countdown begin!

  Starting at number 10:

  10. Pokemon: Red Version

  

  Yes, really. Pokemon Red Version makes into my list at number 10. The reason is simple. I remember playing this game as a kid with my cousin for hours by training our Pokemon and trading them with each other. This game really shaped my childhood and helped complete my dream of being a Pokemon trader. Lets face it. This was a really good game. The game's RPG elements were simple enough for a 7 year-old to understand. The game was enjoyable and getting your Pokemon was a huge accomplishment. I am not afraid to say this is still one of my favorite games. This is one of the few Game Boy games I have not lost over time. I still have it and I am glad I do. I also own all of the Pokemon handheld games from Game Boy to DS, but this is the only one on the list.

  Erm, is this still On?

  Good evening GameSpot,

  It has been a long while since I did a real blog here on GameSpot. To tell the truth I kind of abandoned GameSpot last summer. It is no secret why, another site opened up and I was drawn there for other reasons. But the past several months I find myself coming to GameSpot and looking at reviews and coming to this blog and looking at profiles of people's blogs I used to read all the time. I miss reading a lot of them and communicating with a lof of you,

  I actually want this blog to serve as kind of a "hello" again to the GameSpot community. The reason is because a lot has changed in over a year since I have updated any of you on my life or for maybe the new friends I will meet at GameSpot again. First off, I am Aaron. I am 18 years old and enjoy gaming while at home and talking about games with my close friends. My favorite type of game is open-world sandbox games. Currently I am playing Prototype which is pretty good. I also get really tired of FPS games. I have an Xbox Live gamer tag, Agreb72.

  I first came to GameSpot in the fall of 2005. I came here because of the great reviews and community and I wanted to get involved. My first couple of years at GameSpot I was actively involved and loved being in the forums. I eventually met a lot of great people here on GameSpot. However, recently, I grew tired of GameSpot, its ugly redesign, and it chaotic departures. So finally, I called it quits here about a year ago. But, its hard to say good-bye to a place you have gone to for years. So that is why "I am back". I don't plan to be a heavy forum user, or post a blog every day or week, but I am here. It is good to be back. As always leave a comments below.

  Agreb

  EDIT: I updated some of images on my blog, let me know what you think.

  E3 2009 is almost here

  It is that time of the year again! E3, so of course I will be using GameSpot for live coverage, along with G4.

  So what are you expecting to see or want to see this year at E3?
