i am personaly a realy big gamer. the main games i play is the metal gear series and the call of duty series. i think metal gear teaches us many things and when people relize this they tell there friends and pass on more and more playeres. call of duty has become realy popular because of its amazing graphics and addicting online play. so the gaming industry spreads because of technolagy and passing things on.
