Gaming has come a long way since I was a child. Back then you might have seen a cheesy TV commercial here or there during cartoon hour, but within the last decade the gaming industry has become larger than Hollywood. Games get massive budgets and marketing on the same scale as their movie counterparts. Each year we gravitate towards our favorite gaming sites during one of the many large expos the industry puts on looking for something new, hoping for a sequel to our favorite gaming series, or anticipating some rumor to come to fruition that was lingering around leading up to the event. Do you have any trailers throughout the years that generated unbearable excitement? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOSXkLBrRdA I never played Call of Duty 1-3. I started at COD4: Modern Warfare, it came out shortly after i purchased my first xbox 360. The game was intoxicating, it was the first game I truly got to play with friends online that didn't require a LAN in 9th grade computer class, playing in secret while the teacher was talking . I was excited about World at War despite the negativity it had received for going back to the WWII period. It was a fresh idea to me since I had never played the first 3 games. This trailer was so badass to me mostly because of the music. lol God of War was unlike anything I had played before. The insane combos, the fighting style that just destroyed everything your path, there just wasn't any action game like this before it. The Blades of Chaos were so innovative and made you feel almost unstoppable. Kratos showed no mercy and didn't fall prey to any traps that tried to appeal for pity. It instantly became my favorite single player game of all time, When I heard they were making a sequel I was glued to the computer screen hitting the refresh button on IGN's coverage of E3 waiting for the announcement to come.

The Boss Battle has been watered down or de-emphasized these days. What are some of the hardest, grueling boss battles you can remember as a kid? Those bosses you hated to face, but felt so rewarded when you finally beat them? 1. Quick Man from Mega Man 2.... This guy was so hard if you didn't know his weakness... You were already mentally exhausted from his insanely hard level. If you didn't know Flashman's weapon was his weakness after you used it all up getting to him... it was a feat to beat him when it could have been so easy... Anyone who played Mega Man 2 probably saved him for last. This guy used Crash Bombs which ive never seen before. 2. Psycho Mantis from Metal Gear Solid OMG... talk about frustration. First he moved your controller on the floor if you had dual shock, then he read your save files on what games you like... and then... HE KNEW EVERYTHING YOU WERE GONNA DO!! It didn't matter how fast you pressed the buttons, He was always a step ahead. How were you suppose to know that you had to use the 2nd player controller to beat him? This was innovative and awesome... He was an easy boss when you found out how to beat him... but until then, he was impossible and had you like WTF?!?!!?!!

Who owned an Atari 2600? Who's even played Atari? If you're an old man like me, what where you're favorite games?! Defender was my all time favorite... I didn't know what the hell was going on, but flying the ship and blasting lasers was so cool as a kid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBeCJzg6L8I Yar's Revenge! That little line that followed you around and killed you if you let it touch you... UGH!! I had nightmares about that thing...
