			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-105" title="atari-2600" src="http://www.thenudenerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/atari-2600-300x230.jpg" alt="atari-2600" width="300" height="230" />I&#8217;ve been a gamer for many years. It started with the Atari, but I really got into it a lot more with the Nintendo. I remember as a kid spending so many hours playing Excitebike or Techmobowl. Probably spelled that wrong, but I&#8217;m sure you get the point. From there, I got into computer gaming. This started out with games like the Eye of the Beholder series, then I moved into online computer gaming with Mechwarrior. I remember many late nights staying up to participate in league matches, knowing I had to get up for school the next morning. The trend continued after I got married, when I got into my first MMO &#8211; Ultima Online. I haven&#8217;t stopped gaming since.</p>
<p>Recently I&#8217;ve been sort of bad for bouncing between games. I just reactivated my Eve Online account. Not long ago I started playing World of Warcraft again, but I haven&#8217;t done much with it. I played a full season of Madden 10, winning the Superbowl with my Dolphins, then putting it down. I started playing Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, but realized quickly that so many people are way ahead of me in unlocks&#8230;  so I die fairly often. Just bought Borderlands recently, seems like a good game so far. Oh and I downloaded Final Fantasy 7 off the Playstation Network.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s just felt a little weird lately, how I can&#8217;t seem to stay committed to a certain game. I was pretty dedicated to playing WoW for around 4 years, but none of these other games seem to pull me in as much. I do really enjoy Eve, but since my wife has had pretty much no interest in it, it cuts down on my playtime some. I do plan on playing it, but I&#8217;m also waiting on a few other games to come out.</p>
<p><a href="http://modernwarfare2.infinityward.com/games.php#/videos?id=5">Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare 2</a> &#8211; I&#8217;ve long been a fan of shooters, all the way back to the days of Unreal and Quake. I&#8217;ve been in &#8220;clans&#8221; for various shooters, which is really where it gets to be a lot more fun than your average play. I lead a Clan for awhile for Battlefield 1942, playing the Desert Combat mod. So after seeing the below preview, I&#8217;m definitely looking forward to checking out this game. The big debate is whether to buy it for PC or PS3.<br />

<p><a href="http://www.l4d.com/home.html">Left 4 Dead 2</a> &#8211; If you haven&#8217;t played the original, I highly suggest picking it up. There have been an abundance of &#8220;zombie shooters&#8221; over the past few years and this one is actually pretty decent. Fair warning though &#8211; there is very little storyline to this, it&#8217;s all about killing massive hoards of zombies, as it should be.<br />

<p><a href="http://na.square-enix.com/ff13/">Final Fantasy XIII</a> &#8211; I&#8217;ve long been a huge fan of the Final Fantasy series, starting with the original. FF7 was definitely one of the best RPG type games of all-time in my book. The last few haven&#8217;t been as great, but by all looks they are bringing the series back to some of it&#8217;s roots with 13. The graphics are just drool-worthy. I am really hoping this one turns out well, I am definitely going to pick it up when it releases in the spring.<br />

<p>Last but definitely not least, I am really looking forward to playing <a href="http://www.swtor.com/">Star Wars: The Old Republic</a>. If you haven&#8217;t heard about this one, it&#8217;s an MMO being developed by none other than Bioware, the same RPG masters that created Neverwinter Nights and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, two of the most acclaimed RPG&#8217;s in the past 10 years. I&#8217;m really excited to see if this MMO will be better than the other Star Wars one, which was a huge flop imo.<br />

<p>So, what games are you looking forward to?</p>
