I always played video games but I wouldn't call myself a real gamer since I played almost exclusively japanese RPG's and a few other japanese series in other genres, like Castlevania and Mega Man.

I have a very hard time feeling enthusiastic about new games and only play one or two a year.

I don't enjoy and I don't play racing, shooting, action etc. I played a few beat'em up games, like Street Fighter and Soul Calibur but those games are too shallow for me in general, and they are completely pointless to play in single player mode, in my oppinion.

Suikoden 2 is my favorite game ever. If you haven't played it, get it somehow, and overlook the seemingly cliché randomness of the first five-six hours. I still never played a game which left me so satisfied. It's not an epic, world changing story unlike for example Square-Enix/old Squaresoft games, but rather a political storyline with soap operatic character interaction and dialogue between an endless cast of RPG and fantasy archetypes.

I don't play western produced games, I don't play PC games, I don't play anything like that.
