    Way back in the day Earthbound got me into RPG's. Chrono Trigger and FF7 were what hooked me on them.

      KOTOR got me into RPG's, but more so action RPG's. Still not a fan of turned based.

        Uncharted 2 - Absotutely hated 3rd person up until now.

          Goldeneye. In college my friends and I played this all the time, 4 player split screen. Before the days of online gaming.

          Zelda for RPG's for obvious reasons.

            RB6:Vegas and Vegas 2

            Never would touch a "shooter" until I tried the first one. Now I have spent the last month of my life playing Uncharted 2 MP and COD:MW2 is sucking up even more time.

              Text based games, like Football Manager. I probably spend more time playing these type games than any other
              Don't you EVER read my blog? It's gotten a lot better.

                  Age of Empires 2 got me into RTS type games. I don't go crazy for the genre yet but certainly enjoy them and look for interesting games whereas before I never went near them.

                  PixelJunk Monsters got me into Tower Defense. Now I can't get enough, especially on PSP and iPod.

                    Medal of Honor: Frontline triggered my love of first person shooters. It was the first one i'd ever played, and frankly it's still high up on my list of favorite games.

                    I should go buy that, for old time's sake.

                        MVP Baseball got me into baseball games. Before that series I just couldn't get into baseball games.

                        Gears Of War got me into shooters.

                          Great call on Tenchu (PS1) - I loved that game back in the day; the stealth/ninja action was so well done. You mentioning that brought back memories

                          The Legend of Zelda was my first fantasy game; I was so immersed in that world. I sort of gravitated away from it after a while, then Final Fantasy VII brought me back.

                          I hated the look of first person shooters for the longest and never wanted to give one an honest try. Until Halo.
