I was 20 when the Odyssey came out. I'd always been a big board gamer and I liked the idea of having a ready-made opponent in an electronic game. Despite the very antiquated technology--there were no graphics as such, you put overlays on the TV--the Odyssey was addictive and I've been playing ever since.

Every so often a game comes around that has some innovative twist that really catches my attention. I tend to have a big backlog because over the last 42 years I've been buying games faster than I have been playing them. I got both the JP PS3 version and the XBox 360 version of Dragon's Dogma when they came out over two and a half years ago. They remained in my backlog till last August. More accurately, DD:DA had come out so I played that instead. With all the next gen stuff coming out, this is the best game I've seen in a while and Inquisition is sitting in its shrink wrap while I suck all the marrow out of the bones of this game.
