    Age of Gamers

    What is the age of most of the gamers here?

    I am 26 and I wonder if I am getting to old to be playing these games, is there something else I should be spending my time on. I only buy and play 2 games every year, NCAA and MADDEN.

    31 here. I dont purchase/play nearly as much as I used to, but still have a soft spot for my games. Mostly a late night hobby when then kids are down.

      First off, you are probably not going to find too many people on a gaming website saying that you are too old to play video games. However to answer your question, I am 27 and still play some video games, especially as you mentioned, the sports video games. I never really started playing video games until college and a little more after college, I find it as a nice release. Now I do not get into the real fictional, fantasy type games and I for one wish that there were more GTA, RDR type games out there, but again I absolutely enjoy my football, basketball, and baseball video games. I also believe that you need to balance them, I have a pretty good workout routine and I would never choose playing a video game over going out with my wife and/or friends of course.

          I appreciate the responses guys. I have played video games all my life and only sports games. I never got into the other types of games, that just wan't me. I have just always loved the sports games b/c I have played sports all my life and through college. I am now a teacher and coach, wanted to stay around sports anyway that I could. I would never choose to play video games over hanging out with family or friends. I was mainly asking because sometimes I guess I feel that I could do more productive things, like reading a book or something. I have thought about selling my PS3, but I am afraid if I do I will regret it.

            I have read that the average gamer is around 30. So no you are not too old. Gaming is moving towards adults anyways. The dumb kids can keep their Wii

              I'm 37. I love my games, but spend more time hunting and fishing then playing video games.

                        I find it funny that not going out or doing something because of video games even gets mentioned.

                        I love my games, don't get me wrong. After work, working out, working on my masters classes, hanging out with friends, and calling & talking to people I will play video games.

                        I am 25, and I doubt I ever completely stop. I didn't even start gaming until college, and didn't own my own system until a PS2 in October 2006. My first game? NCAA 2006, I bought it used in October 2006

                            I was just stating facts about my gaming.
                            But to answer your question, yes someone does. I do.

                              my priority first always like to workout/hangout with family or friends before i play any video-games.
                              I enjoy NCAA 2012 i wish i had more time because its a pretty cool game for the dynasty mode. hopefully next year carousel gets fixed =)
