im not trying to be grammar nazi, but seriously thats a 2nd or 3rd grade word. if you're from an english speaking country i hope you're held back until you learn how to spell properly. and yes, good spelling is considered good internet etiquette. you kids are driving me nuts with your

I didn't play games at all during the second semester of college. Lately, I haven't played any video games since April. I've got Uncharted 2, Ratchet and Clank and Batman AA coming in the mail so that's going to change soon. I'm a binge gamer lol

From early 2008 to this time.

I already played all the important titles before 2008, and in that period pretty much nothing came out that got me exited. I spent nearly the entire year playing on my PS2 and PS1.

Now I'm pretty interested again with DiRT 2, Tekken 6, GT5, GOW 3 and FF13 coming out soon.

I just recently got a PS3, but before that I only had a 360. After the release of Gears of War 2, I didn't buy a new game until summer '09, when I started playing some games I'd missed from past years (Assassin's Creed, for one). So that was a solid 6-8 month gap where I really didn't play my 360 all that much.

there was a long period when i only owned a gcn and there was just nothing coming out for a while (im going to guess about a year). there were still great games on the console (some of my favorites all time, i might add). its just that there were stretches with nothing. ive since become a two console gamer (a few pc games too, but its always picking up a classic long after its release when my computer can run it) and i never even begin to approach a year long drought.

From winter 2005 till summer 2007. After MGS3 I just stopped, then I read about MGS4 which lead me to play MGS2 again, and that was my return! After that, I've been playing regularly. Though sometimes I stop playing for a day to a week for exams and homeworks.

Well this year I've been only only buying games every few months and not every month like I use to. As far as not playing, I went a week without playing video games. May not sound like a lot, but it's hell for someone like me.

Hmmm, I guess back when I was a kid and I had to visit my grandmother for the whole summer. I didn't get to play any video games up there and that was about a month long. Outside of that, I rarely go more than 2 weeks without playing a video game. My longest drought of not buying a game (not counting when I was a kid with no job) was probably about 3 months, but I was renting games during that time.

A couple of years ago I went about 4 months without going on my PS2, because there weren't many ganes I could get or wanted.
