The man who introduced me to video games is now 60 and I see no reason for him to lose his interest in them, especially when he's so good at them.

I'm gonna go against the norm and say that people around 24 are too old to play video games. I don't know, it just seems the older I get, the more I outgrow video games. I don't really have time with school, my girl, work, etc. And when I do have time, I just sit down, and think, "nah." that's my opinion.

There is no age that's "too old".  Hell, my old man's addicted to Halo.

Until you have a family, then you should cut down alot, I don't even play games that much right now, unless something good comes out.

You are never too old to play games. Especially this generation where games are just what we do. Though i don't like when people turn video games to a lifestyle.

There is no age limit.  So long as they continue to entertaining and/or meaningful in your life, they have a purpose.

Once you get past, I'd say 25ish, as long as you know what real life is, and take video games as a form of entertainment instead of a hardcore addiction, I don't care what age you play until.

I say you can never be to old, games like Metal of Honor or Call of Duty are educational games that teach you the fear of war and strategys. RPGs contain moral and life lessons and are fun to play because of what you like and how you think your characters should act based on the personalities they may or may not show, and Sports games so they can play golf, baseball, football, etc without being good or actually leaving there house. I say video games are a thing you can never be to old to play.

age is not a factor...its just when you start having more important responsibilities you should stop playing games....playing them with freetime is not a problem at all...but if your playing them over work, or family then its a problem..

Probably no age.  The average age of gamers is going up, mainly because older people have now grown up playing video games so they continue to do so - it's no longer a child thing.

Video games are a form of entertainment just like movies, and old people still go see movies, so video games apply the same way. That being said, you are never to old to stop playing video games imo.
