    Are you a gamer?
    Sometimes I think it's pathetic, other times I don't care how it appears. I'm 43 and I still love video games. I'm not now nor have I ever been good at them. Rarely have I ever seen the completion of a game and if they are sport's games they are usually set on beginners level but I still love video games.

    When it's bad weather and I can't play golf, tired of hanging out with friends, no football on or don't feel like playing poker I love a good video game.

    Prefer NCAA College Football to Madden. Used to hate shooters but am slowly converting. Have always loved RPG's and am not good enough to ever try online participation but I still love video games.

    Who else loves video games over the age of 30?

        not so much anymore, bought an Xbox360 a few years ago
        used to play often but not anymore. My 7 yr old has taken it over.
        when I do play which is seldom now its Call of Duty or NCAA football '06
        the new Call of Duty looks entertaining though. I might buy it

        Just got the first subscription to Xbox live for my son last month.
        I've been downloading demos recently. the MMA game I enjoy

        I suck at gaming so I get fustrated to easy and quit playing

            I like to play, but usually feel like shit when little kids online kick my ass. Having a girlfriend/wife makes playing videogames kind of annoying, too.

                You can add me to the list. Typically a sports gamer. Madden, NHL, MLB, etc. I also have played many RPG's.

                Get this. I also have a father who's a gamer and we often exchange games. It's actually pretty cool.

                      I used to game pretty hard playing FPS games. But playing on a competive clan destroys your social life. Think high school sports, interms of time put in. 3-4 hour practices/scrims 5-6 days a week (mandatory). Then the extra time after that, to work on your aim and movement(agility/speed). I miss it, but at the same time I don't miss it.

                      Now a days, i just play CoD with friends half drunk to take off the competitive side, and just play for fun. Sometimes I run Madden Franchise simulations for fun.

                          I read somewhere the average age of the American Gamer is 27, seems about right.
                          I play plenty of PC games, I am 20.

                              If you're not playing FPS with a keyboard and a mouse, then you aren't living.

                              36 year old video game junkie here as well. I will pretty much play anything you put in front of me but if I'm not on SBR I'm usually playing WoW. My wife fears I'm going to teach my 5 year old daughter to play.

                              I used to run an 80 person LAN party with a couple friends a few years ago. We played CounterStrike, BF1942, Quake, etc. That was a blast. The availability of broadband to a majority of homes has pretty much killed the scene though.

                                                  I am more of a physical gamer. I like to play sports with my feet and hands to get a good cardio workout. Playing video games enlarges your behind, puts your heart at risk from not exercising, messes up your vision as well as screwing up your thumbs.

                                                            I'm 32 and I game almost everyday. I have a group and we play NCAA, Madden, COD, GOW and Forza. My group also includes my 12 year old son. I even have a website dedicated to post our season ending stats for NCAA and Madden. My XBL gamertag is xxxGODFATHERxxx. That said it is not easy getting time to play during the week. I usually play at night when everybody is sleeping.

I'm not now nor have I ever been good at them. Rarely have I ever seen the completion of a game and if they are sport's games they are usually set on beginners level but I still love video games.

                                                                When it's bad weather and I can't play golf, tired of hanging out with friends, no football on or don't feel like playing poker I love a good video game.

                                                                Prefer NCAA College Football to Madden. Used to hate shooters but am slowly converting. Have always loved RPG's and am not good enough to ever try online participation but I still love video games.

                                                                Who else loves video games over the age of 30?
                                                                I'm 19, but I love this new game called Aion. You should check it out if you like MMORPGs.

I try to log in at least a dozen hours or so a week on my PS3. Right now, my favs would be Arkham Asylum, Brutal Legend, MLB08 and as of Tuesday, Call of Duty-Modern Warfare 2.
