Xbox Virgin
I’m working in a game development company. But believe it or not, I’ve never played any console games before (with the exception of the 1st Atari when I was a wee little kid). So when my friend loan me his xbox set last week, you can imagine my excitement.
I hooked it up to my 21 inch. The TV not my… never mind; and started reading the manual. I don’t usually read manuals but I wanted to make sure I got everything right. Besides, they didn’t come up with the word “RTFM” for nothing.
Together with the xbox set, my friend also loan me his collection of games. The first game I tried out was Ninja Gaiden Black. I gave up at the first level… the level where you’re suppose to get to the top of the hill… I didn’t manage to get there. Yes, I’m ashamed. Shut up. May I remind you that this is my FIRST console game.
Then I tried Jade Empire. I got to level five before I restarted with another character up till level 5 again. Didn’t quite like it. I then tried Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. I was hooked. I played on for a few hours before my aching body start screaming “GO SLEEP!”
Well, I’m gonna have this xbox for a sometime so I’m gonna maximise it. As for the stupid Ninja Gaiden Black, I’m gonna conquer it no matter what.
