The world could always use more heroes 
I think my favorite period of gaming was in the area of 1992-2002. At least, games made in that period, since I was born in 1993. I owned a Sega Genesis and that thing was amazing. Loved the Sonic games, especially Sonic 2. I got a Dreamcast for Christmas I think in 99 or 2000, and I played the duck out of it with Sonic Adventure 1 and 2. When I was that age, the Dreamcast was the greatest thing ever invented, it was so fun to play.

I also played a good amount of PC games, my favorite being Half-Life which came out in 98. It was by far my favorite game ever at the time, it was amazing. Killing aliens, using cool weapons, and it was a game that defined 3D FPS games. But I also enjoyed the classic 2D shooter Doom as well as the 3D Quake. Story didn't really matter back then, but Half-Life changed that, and gaming just really started becoming awesome at the turn of the century.

I love a lot of modern games too, some of my all time favorite games have come out in the last few years, (Portal 2, Mass Effect 3.) We're getting to the point now where games can just be spectacular. They have amazing graphics for one, we're heading into the most realistic graphics ever with the next gen consoles, and stories can go so in depth and emotional that it's just mind blowing. But there's something to love about the simplicity of those classic games I played growing up.
