I’m not really a fan of horror movies – I don’t generally find pleasure in watching something that’s likely just going to put me on edge and make it harder to sleep at night.

When it comes down to it there is always one genre I swear by when gaming wise. That genre is the first person shooter! Some people like myself adore them and cannot get enough, others either can’t get on with them or think strange things like, shooting games require no skill and blah blah blah, eventually remarks like that sound like white noise to me.
