Who Was You First-Ever Game Crush?

April 22, 2009 in Blog comments 27

Okay, so they're not real people and if you've been playing games for as long as I have, your first gaming crush probably only vaguely resembled a person. But still, some game characters are hot and you just can't help developing a small crush on their blocky pixellated selves. So who were your first ever gaming crushes?

Go to the source to read the Gamesradar staff's first gaming crushes.

Deep down, you realize they’re not real. You understand that what you’re seeing on screen is only pixels and polygons, that what you’re talking to is only a voice actor plus script and that what you’re supposedly interacting with is only a fancy collection of programming codes.

Sometimes, however, you can’t help but be a little fooled. Some videogame characters are so convincing, so fascinating, so charming or simply so damn good-looking that you can’t help but fall a tiny bit in love with them. Especially when you’re a young, dumb, naïve and impressionable kid…

        Umm, was I supposed to be offended? I am being serious, because if so, what did I ever do to you?

          I find its best on the Internet to assume the other person isn't being a dick, unless it's blatantly obvious they are being one.

          I just find Selphie really annoying is all.

    Gary Oak probably.
    The way he despised me just made me want him more.

      I loved him in all his pixellated glory too. But it was the badass "hair flick" his live-action actor did that stole my little six-year old heart

    Hmmm...thats a tough one. I can't rightly remember. Let me remenisce for a few secs... ... ... Ah! Sniper Wolf. Oh boy did I think she was somethin'. It was too bad she had to die, but atleast she died with dignity.

    But I never had a thing for any of those fighting chics. If you as me they pissed me off more than anything.

    At first I was like... huh? I haven't got a clue.

    ...then it hit me. I really liked the blonde chick off of Dragon's Lair for SNES. I was like 8, I literally kept trying to play the game because I really wanted to rescue her.... Man that brings back some memories

    A+ for the article.

    I read this yesterday morning, I think it was?

    In any case, lol, one of the people there has the same current crush as me? That's Etna.

    Etna from Disgaea 1 in particular (subsequent appearances don't have as much charm, IMO).

    Adored her for several years now, It seems.

    I never really had a crush per-se though, though I've found many characters attractive in games. Lulu and Rikku were probably the ones I liked the most (and still do) before Etna. I think I first discovered my attraction for goths with Lulu XD

    Lol at the guy who crushed on Birdo, and listed the current crush as being Bridget XD

    Haha, I've never had a video game crush. I kind of have a preference for girls who actually exist.
