I'm a single mid thirties guy. I thought I would have been done with games a long time ago. I've pretty much played games off and on since I was like 6 years old. GEt bored come back. Went to school for computers and work in information technology. Got screwed over early thirties by this crazy girl from hell. Figured I'd be done with games building a family by now and stuff. But I get bored and this is what I do. I feel old and out of place these days though when it comes to games. I think a lot of games are kind of kiddy and nto that exciting. I really like the show and some sports games still though. I've noticed people here tend to be a bit older than other gaming sites.

What do some of you think is the best platform for more mature games? I have both 360 and ps3 right now. I've been playing mlb 2k and the show going back and forth. IT's harder to quit this stuff then it seems lol. I'm not exactly what you would quantify as your average gamer. I know a ton about computers but anyone else in my situation still playing games? I go on live and it's all kids and complete dredges of society lol. All due respect. Between work and games it's a bit much. I need to get outside more? most of my friends are married these days. I figured I'd be done with this stuff early 30's. Played through my 20's no big deal. Play sports and stuff. But getting old man. Not sure how I found myself still playing games at my age but it happens? ITs better than watching TV for entertainment? Anyone else in my situation or am I a complete odd duck at this point?

I'm 44 and have a PS Vita

A 44 yr old with a handheld?? Lol

Religion/Family/Work and then my gaming pretty much in that order. As long as the good Lord allows me to be able to game I will be doing this gaming thing with no sign of slowdown in sight.

Damn Skyboxer you are old as ****

Is 28 too young to be included in this discussion?

I feel the same way you guys do though. I'll be gaming until my life reaches game over.
