I was wondering with the broad ages of the members here do many of you guys actually play Video Games and if so what do you play em on?

I have a 7 year old daughter and she has a couple of Nickelodeon games that I play with her on occasion. For Christmas I will probably get her the Wii or something else.

I have a PS2 and my mom has a Wii. I mainly play sports and racing games and occasionally Grand Theft Auto to blow some stuff up. I like to bowl on the Wii!

I have an X-Box, though I don't play many games these days. I just hardly have the time, it seems. Whenever I do play, it's usually some game from years ago that I never played when it was new. For example, the last game I played was Return to Castle Wolfenstein....I mean, c'mon, who doesn't want to sock it to evil Nazis who are raising the dead??

Okay, confession time. I am 36, started playing games when I was about 15/16. Mainly PC, but have a PS2. Have taken breaks (a year or two here and there) but always come back. Normally do RPG, sims, first person shooters and fun stuff like pogo games. Geek confession over :D

I still find some time to play games on my PC. My all time favorite though doesn't exist anymore, it was the MMORPG Earth & Beyond. (my avatar is the face of my JE from that game). I like Civilization, Starships Unlimited, classic arcade games, and space games in general.

Hi...I'm a 30-yr-old pogo game addict. :) No, really, I'm there WAY too much when I have free time. I would love to get a Wii though. I think that would be something that hubby & I could do together and sorta, kinda count it as exercise LOL

Yea I'm 26 so I grew up on Nintendo and the like. I still plays games and was lucky enough to snag a Wii (won it in a drawing) on launch day. I do play some PC games and eventually would like to get an Xbox360.

I have an XBox 360 and a PS2. I probably play them a few times a year, they mainly get used by my kids and nephews.

Being the tech nerd that I am, I love video games. I most recently purchased an xbox 360 and several games, and I'm pretty happy with it. Of course, nothing brings back the nostalgia like whipping out my Sega Genesis from my high school days (it still works!) and playing some Sonic or Mortal Kombat.

They were very scarce there for awhile but I think most stores around me now (Pittsburgh) have them in stock. Before, they were flying off the shelves within a half hour after the shipment arrived.

I used to play a lot of video games back in 2002-2005 and then a bit less last year. This year hardly at all and I have little time to do so. I don't have any of the next-generation consoles yet but I don't really care because the smart thing to do is to wait until many more games come and the price goes lower. I'm worried about the price on the PS3 since it was announced back during E3 2006.

We just got a wii yesterday. I had a little trouble finding one. My daughter wanted one for her birthday but i couldn't find one. We were told when walmart usually gets their shipments. We went to walmart yesterday and there were 3! I bought 2 of them...one for my daughter and picked one up for my son who will pay me back.

I kicked my husbands rearend in bowling! I've done well in tennis. But, i didn't do too well in baseball. And i'm sore!!!!!

3 of my sons, ages 11, 13, and 14 are big video gamers. Not me though. They play x-box, and the nintendo hand-held consoles. Every christmas we get the latest and greatest hand held units, except last christmas the DX-lites were all sold out. The younger two are addicted to Runescape on-line. I'm working on getting our 4th computer running so that all of us have a chance to get on a computer. Me? I play older computer games: Risk, Fuji golf, asteroids, etc.
