BJaMs World- An Introduction

Hello everyone and welcome to BJaMs World.  This is a video game blog that will be devoted to three gamers thoughts on the subject (and, lets face it, countless other subjects, I'm sure).

The subtitle, "Three Gamers; One Mission" stems from the middle of Summer 2008, when two friends got together with an old magazine, and came up with our greatest idea to date (yes, we just might be that pathetic...or awesome?).  The magazine was the 100th issue of the Official U.S. Playstation Magazine (OPM) from January 2006, and it contained "The Essential 100" which was a list of the 100 Playstation 1, Playstation 2, and Playstation Portable "GAMES YOU MUST PLAY BEFORE YOU DIE".  So, as these two lifelong gamers talked outside the tent (don't ask) one hot July day, we had the idea that we should play all 100 of these games on the list.  Well, that idea was shaped and polished over the next few days, and became "well, let's just start by taking ten of these games, beat them, then go from there."  It's also important to note that we cut out some of the games in that list due to the fact that neither of us had any interest in them, or they were way to expensive to get a hold of.

And the third gamer, thus completing the first part of the subtitle- Three Gamers- was only a phone call away.  

So, here we are, now in the Fall of 08, and we have yet to beat ONE game from that list... BUT, we have not given up hope!  This blog will breathe new life back into our project, and we finally have a place to write down all the ridiculous things that go through our minds while we are gaming.  The "One Mission" that we hope to achieve is really just playing as many games as we can before the three of us split up due to grad school or work taking us away from each other.  Well....that and beating all the games on our list!

Our first two games that we decided to tackle were the ever infamous Metal Gear Solid (PSX) and Silent Hill (PSX).  

Look for another blog post soon that should contain all the antics from our first (and only) day of gaming back in September.  We will probably be playing a lot of Survival Horror games in the next few weeks due to the fact that Halloween is just around the corner (our favorite genre!).
