Hmm...I would have to say Microsoft Golf (I think that's what it's called), for the '98 (?). It's the first game I truly remember playing, and enjoying. The first moment that I can remember as the defining point as a gamer, probably would be when the original GameBoy came out. I was about six. As for RTS's, probably Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness. In the FPS genre, probablythe original House of the Dead(alright, so it's not technically an FPS, but close enough).

As for being a professional gamer, I would probably have to say Ocarina of Time. It's such a defining point in every single gamer's history, and it cannot be overlooked.

As for being a game developer, I'd probably have to say something newer: Geist. It was an okay game, but, there were so many things that could have been different about it.

I too have the update bug.

And I cannot post comments or reviews at all anymore. This might be because of the stuff that's right of your name, you know with the level, percentage, and subscription. Yeah, that sort of disappeared. I know I'm level 5, but I'd like to post comments again.

I also at one point had over 2 million tags. Go figure.
