I'm a male gamer in my early thirties and I have been gaming since around the age of five (1989!) on a Hell of an amount of machines that includes: ZX Spectrum, Atari 2600, Sega Master System II, Super Nintendo, Sega Megadrive, Sony Playstation, Nintendo 64, Sony Playstation 2, Sega Dreamcast, Xbox, Xbox 360, Sony Playstation 3 and the ultimate king of gaming: PC .

I was brought up on the old systems from a young age, getting to know joysticks and joypads starting with the simplistic but addictive PONG , trying to beat my Mum at the game like first prize was a box of rusks. A few years later, when I was around 8 years old my Grandfather brought home a blue floppy disk with 'DOOM' (PC) wrote on it in black marker. Once installed I was hooked as the graphics, sound, Big ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Gun's and Ashley J. William's inspired Chainsaw changed my life forever...I knew I was destined to go on gaming until my dying breath...

The games that I'm mostly interested in are FPS's, RPG's and Action/Adventure, but I do like to dabble in other genres. I love my Horror/Sci-Fi movies and I also have a taste for Real Ales, Rums and Ciders.
