Gamers of a certain age...

Welcome to Gen X Gamers. If this is your first time, well, that's ok 'cause it's my first time too.
I wanted to introduce myself and talk about why I started this blog and what I hope to accomplish. A mission statement, if you will.
Mission statement. Sounds like something a company would have. Why didn't I say "quest objective" or something like that? Because I work for a large company and don't game all the time. If that's you, you probably get it, and if you get it you're who I want to talk to.
At GenX Gamers I want to talk to gamers in their 30's and 40's, who grew up with gaming, but have lives, jobs, maybe kids, definitely responsibilities. Who maybe have just a few hours a week to play. And don't want to waste them. Who want to play games with some depth and substance, and occasionally just shoot something. Who maybe aren't in a position to drop $60 on whatever looks good this week and probably aren't going to buy the special edition in the fancy case. Real gamers, living real lives.
We'll talk about everything, whether it's a new game on your smartphone or a classic you plunked quarters into back in the day. We'll review new games, sure, but I also want to address the needs of families on a budget who might be in the "greatest hits" category, those for whom buying a new console may be a major investment. (It should be, you're going to spend quality time with it).
So let's get started. Choose your difficulty level, your weapons loadout, your character class, or just push "start", and lets-a go!
