The first video game i played that really has great impact on my gaming experience was resident evil. When i first saw that game i know i had to buy it. When i got it, i spend lots of hours playing it until i finished the game. It actually helped me in my control ability and strategy .
I don't think it's possible and in fact more and more you move towards the middle age it can get pretty harder. Atleast for me that it is harder so far.
