How long are usually your gaming sessions? How many do you have in one day?

I usually dont play if I have less than one hour so my gaming sessions are 1-3 hours long. I have one or two in one day.

Half an hour to an hour. They've gotten a lot shorter since having a kid. Although once bedtime rolls around, I can game for a good three hour chunk, which is nice for RPGs and other games that benefit from it.

1-3 hours tops when I'm not working. On work days, I rarely get any playtime in. Although, last week I beat Dead Space 2 on Hardcore mode, so on that day off I was playing for a good 5-6 hours.

I've not played a game in over a week now, but when I do play a game it's usually around 2 to 3 hours.

I'm in college full time working on a History B.A. and I work part time (although sometimes it's closer to full time). So, I get in about 3-6 hours a week.

Depends on many factors for myself, if it's multiplayer on an FPS only a couple games, unless I'm sharing with a friend then it could be a few hours. If it's an RPG or story game I'm very into it could be 5-6 hours a day until completion or boredom.

I feel like a little bit less of a tool after reading some of these responses. For me, on a day off I can easily play for somewhere between 1-2 hours at a time, maybe 2 or 3 times a day. It depends on the game I'm playing, sometimes I'll be playing call of duty for like an hour and just need a break, but other games where it's single player it's easy for me to get caught up in what I'm doing and play for like 2 hours.

It really depends alot on what's going on that day. Some days I do nothing but play, and others I do anything but play.

With me it can vary considerably, sometimes I'll game for about an hour or so, or even at most 12 hours.

Some days I'm just not in the mood (or too busy...or both), so I'll end up just watching TV/DVDs. When I'm in the mood it's usually for between 1 and 2 hours. Really good games will suck me in for longer, usually new releases (ME2 and DA:O were the last ones).

My gaming sessions can last from a short time to a few hours. I'll have a few gaming sessions in one day. I probably play too many video games, but then again, they're my primary hobby, so...

I try to squeeze in an 60 to 90 minutes after I get home from work then I have to stop to make dinner (husband gets hungry). Weekends are better. Between errands I usually get in around 4 or 5 hours Sat & Sun.

Most of my average "sessions" are around an hour or two, but I play games for around 4-6 hours a day. In other words, I might play for an hour, do something else, and then come back to it later.

This is voided when playing RPG's, which I would put the full 6 hours in one go.

And of course, there was the time I spent 16 straight hours playing Sonic The Hedgehog, but that's another story... :P

It depends. If I end up playing a game and get hooked instantly then I usually play about 10+ hours at a time.

I play for around 1-2 hours a day on the same game usually. I like to pace myself so i don't finish games too fast :P. If I'm playing a few games at a time then I usually play more on the weekend.

Depends on the mood, how tired I am, but usually how exhausted I am doesn't stop me from playing games. But if I'm not in that right mood, I won't touch a game. When I do play, I play in spurts of 1-2 hour sessions. It's rare nowadays where I go longer than that.

30minutes - 2hours every few working days. 5 days pass fast as hell, so i don't got no time to play.

In the weekends, wen i'm not on trips with wife and friends, and i'm at home, i usually game 2 - 4 hours. But not at night. Naw, at night it's my wife's time, gotta give her love.

As a kid it could be up to 4 hours... today at 22 I can BARELY play more than 30 minutes at a time. Sometimes I can't even make it to 15. Each year though there's typically 2-3 games good enough to get me addicted :D

When I was a kid, I could play games until my eyes started gushing with blood. I'd breeze through a 5-hour gaming marathon with ease. Now though, a typical session is between 30 - 60 minutes before I start growing bored.

I'd say maybe 3-4 hours, but during the times I can't sleep I've been known to play for up to 8 hours.

Usually 2-3 hours by myself. When I have a lot of friends on xbox live playing the same game though, I can easily loose track of time with a 6-7 hour session.
