why do all men play video games

[MeaganLynn08]

you would think they would grow out of it. but i know 30 year olds you still play video games...what is the point it is mind numbing and its a false perception of self. i believe they begin to believe they are the characters and that makes them feel they have a purpose but that is just mean. any one else got an answer

[whiffy]

I have loads of point-and-click adventure games such as Monkey Island, Broken Sword. My favourites are Nancy Drew, which I play as Junior Detective because the Senior ones are too difficult for me!

[daffy654]

There is a huge social aspect to the MMORPG type games that B00 is talking about(i'm assuming she plays WOW),and the one I play,they enable you to chat and interract with people worldwide and it is quite fun to hear different views on things from people of other nationalities.

[Prangy]

Triggerhippy nope.

The X Box buttons are probably more interesting than hers... i mean cmon who rants online talking about a blokes maturity JUST because they play on video games? Says it all to me lol

My mother is 49 and she has a ds and psp and also enjoys playing on my little sisters wii.

why shoul age and even gender stop you having a bit of fun on a video game?

[TomDavies123]

Bit harsh! Only mind numbing to you...

I like video games, but i am under 30 at least! I do think there is a line though, a guy shouldn't spend all day gaming, in the same way they shouldn't watch the tv all night either.

By the way, is it acceptable for a lady to make her way through every soap each night?

[Prangy]

^ no Tom completely not... they have dishes to wash, thats my gaming time! ;)

[happy_face]

I'm female, in my 30's and I love video games.

My mum is 60 and she's on the computer every evening. Especially now she's retired, she's on there from 10pm - 1am every night.

I can't see anything wrong with enjoying life/hobby/games whatever as long as you make room for other things too. It's all about finding the right balance. I wouldn't like if a partner spent ALL his time doing something whether it being playing games, watching footie, going down the pub but I don't mind it as long as there's time for us too.
I personally think it's healthy not doing the same as each other 24/7. He needs his time as well as I need mine, just because we're a couple doesn't mean we're the same person

Rachael you're from the North aren't you?! Only northerners use the word "mint!" like you did lol

I don't own Ghost Recon is it any good? I'm itching for Gears of War 2, Fracture and the new Star Wars game :) YARRR!!

I think Meagan gets the picture now by the amount of men and WOMEN who play games have answered her question!

[rachael88]

AngelSammy Ghost Recon is realy good but i would sugest u to get the second one as no one plays the first one any more xxxx

[rachael88]

DAFFY where do i find the online final fantasy game you mentioned?????

[hau kola]

I bought mr kola an xbox 360 last xmas and i think he played on it maybe 3 times so ive sold it and bought myself a Wii fit.

[daffy654]

Final Fantasy XI online is available for the PC and XBOX 360 lalb,all the games shops have it-make sure you buy the 2008 version as it has all the expansion packs included.The only downside is you have to pay a monthly subscription for it but once you get into it you won't care about that :-) the fee is �8.99 per month which is one of the lower fees for MMORPG type games.
