When you come across the amount of awesome people I do within the video games community you tend to want to know their background and how they originally got into video gaming.

My favourite stories from people are the ones where they reminisce about early video games memories as I just love to wallow in the nostalgia of being blown away by a NES, SNES or SEGA Mega Drive.

To me and a whole generation of awesome dudes and dudettes these were the formative years of our love affair with video games.

Today I would like to introduce you all the Bethany who is the latest member of the Games Freezer family.

☆ My Top 5 Super Nintendo Mode 7 Moments ☆ #Retrogaming #GamersUnite

Mode 7 is a legendary graphics mode that was present in a certain number of Super Nintendo Video Games during the 1990's. 

It made everyone's jaw drop with its 3D looking effects that were unheard of in the console world at the time. 

I was a sucker for these games and I'm going to revisit some of my favourite Mode 7 Moments with you all now.

Watch Out Because Mode 7 Is ABOUT!!

☆ My Top 10 Mortal Kombat 2 Fatalities, Babalities & Friendships! ☆ #Retrogaming #GamersUnite

For me, Mortal Kombat 2 was like nothing that I could possibly imagine and when it first came out in the early 90's I was in awe of this horror movie of a fighting game!

It shocked me and I loved it. 

It made the with blood / without blood Street Fighter 2 conversations melt away into insignificance.

☆ 2016 -The PS4 Diaries Part 18 "Half Max Is Better Than No Max" ☆ #PS4 #GamersUnite

In my recent PS4 Diaries entry I spoke at length about my Life Is Strange experience and how it completely exceeded any expectations that I may have had going into it!

I forgot to mention a funny glitch that I encountered whilst trying to save Chloe in one of the most dramatic scenes in the video game....

<IT IS NOW WITHIN THE WRITTEN INTERNET LAW TO SAY "SPOILER ALERT!">

☆ 2016 -The PS4 Diaries Part 17 "Life Jim But Not As We Know It" ☆ #PS4 #GamersUnite

Going into Life Is Strange I didn’t really know what to expect.

I’d been browsing the Playstation Store and came across the first episode for FREE.

I’d always thought that this game wouldn’t be for me. I’d imagined that it was some kind of teen drama aimed at well……..Teens...............

But I thought that I’d give the first episode a go as it was for Free.

I’d watched the trailer and fell in love with the music and art style that was being used to great effect in the game.
