Gamer Side of My Life - Fran Helsing! x

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for the delay, again been mega busy. Today my blog post is going to be about my interest in gaming. I am going to say now, yes I am a female gamer to some degree; I love games and playing them but I don't have a game console yet. When I mean yet, I am in the process of saving up for one. I have saved up enough for the console but not the monitor or TV screen to play it on yet.

So I guess this blog is more or less going to be about why I like gaming and what I would do when get a console.

Firstly, I have enjoyed gaming from a young age, well from about 8 when my parents separated and my dad gave me his Nintendo Entertainment System (seen to the right). I enjoyed it a lot. I remember one game about a girl and you had to get her to collect the coins and if she dropped she landed in the sea and you could do sea level. I don't remember what the game was called, so if anyone reading this remembers or has any idea what I am saying, then please write in the comment bit below. 

I then didn't have a console for a while till I was about 9-10. I saved up my own money and my dad paid for some of it towards a Nintendo Gameboy Colour in the colour Purple in which I got the game Pokémon sliver because I loved Pokémon as a kid I also had the monster's INC game too. Kinda shows how long ago this was really (and my age). Round my dad's house had a PlayStation 1 which I just played normal games like one game where you had lots of challenges like flipping burgers and pump up things and click pens, it was a really weird game. Again I cant remember the name (sorry). 

My dad later got an Play Station 2 which was really cool, and I had games like Scobby Doo and the Mystery Mayhem which was a okay game enough though the graphics where rubbish compared to nowadays but good for those days I guess. Also at this point, I got given a free PlayStation 1 from a friend of the family. It had a lot of amazing games with it such as Jackie Chan Stuntmaster and Spiderman. Stuntmaster I didn't manage to complete. however, Spiderman game was the first game I completed which was amazing.


By the age of 12/13 the PlayStation 1, I was given broke and after another few months so did my dad's PlayStation 2. Which wasn't great. From then on, the only time I would play video games would be round friend's houses but it wasn't in an enjoyable sense to me. I felt like because I was a girl and didn't have a console I was at a disadvantage to my friends. But I enjoyed games we played like guitar Hero and Rock Band, I also realised I'm crap at Halo! haha. 

About a year after thinking about that I decided I wanted to save up for on, but didn't have a job as was only 16. My first job I got was at about 17/18 but my money went to towards night outs and food for college. It has only been over the last 3-4 months I have had enough money to put aside for my console. I am stuck between, the PlayStation 3 or 4 OR the x-box 360 (not the x-box one). I am more likely to go towards the x-box 360 as prefer the console to the PlayStation for some reason.

My plans for once I do get a console would be to do some game reviews as well as my make up and other bits and bobs. I'll try and give reviews of different games and to different audiences. My taste in games are games like assassin's creed, Call of Duty, Lego games, Batman Arkham (from when I've played at friend's houses). 

So yeah, I hope you liked my Blog for today, I am going to try and do some of my normal stuff with in the up and coming week :)

Thanks!
