I'm 19, and I don't think I'll ever be too old to be playing videogames... Games grow up with their audience.

Without going too far into being off-topic with my posts, IMO you missed out where Civ IV is concerned, though if you have time limitations that isn't surprising. The Civilization games eat up hours at just an amazing rate of speed. Haven't played Hearts of Iron 2, but was a bit disappointed by Galactic Civilizations 2. I didn't do enough research before purchasing. I was expecting a more story-immersive experience from that one and even though it was obviously a high quality strategy game, I couldn't set aside my disappointment with it not being what I expected.nocoolnamejim

Fortunately with GalCiv, I had no prior experience and thus no expectations. I usually don't care too much about the story in that sort of game, so the lack of one didn't really bother me. I quite enjoyed it, and wish they had carried the ship-designing aspect of it into Sins. But it's certainly not a "heavy" strategy game like HoI2. One of these days I've got to sit down and learn to play X3: Terran Conflict.... I bought it for $5 or something during Steam's Christmas sale and still haven't found the time to wade through the manual yet.

One neat feature about GS is that you get an estimation of the worth of your collection. I think if I saw that I spent a few thousand dollars on games I would stop.

I'm 18 and I don't feel that I'm too old to play video games. Video games are just like any other hobby - reading books, watching TV, watching movies, going for walks, painting, writing, etc. Different people are into different things.

ha ha ha don't count on it. I am in my 50s and play more video games now than ever before. I bought Pong when it first came out and had a system in every generation. SNES, NES, Dreamcast, on up to PS3 and i still average a couple hours a day on games. and have wasted countless days on MUDs and MMOs. I did take a few breaks over the years but always came back with a vengeance.

Yeah that's true, they have Wii's set up at my Grandma's nursing home. Everyone plays it there, people in their 80s even.

28. I'm willing and able to play video games. But having a family and working full time really forces me to be selective on what I spend my time on.

Personally I think gaming is going to be a bigger part as a mean of entertainment. Its going to be bigger and better as time goes by, eventually it'll be as big and common as listening to music, reading a book or watching TV

I am old enough that I no longer like answering that question... -and I play less and less games as the years go by, but there are still quite a few that I really enjoy...as long as that is the case, I will continue...just life gets in the way sometimes
