If it's one of those video games that teaches you how to add and subtract and stuff like that for kids, then I couldn't understand why a 20 year old would be playing that. Any other game is appropriate for any age.

I'll play until I literally can't play anymore or I just lose interest in them. I don't care if the majority thinks it's wierd to play games past a certain age.

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.aRE-you-AFraid

Same for me, it's as if I have to work up some will just to want to play games these days.

I usually end up listening to music or working on my crew's album.  Or chillin outside.

Edit: but when I get into a game, it can be rather addicting.  I'll play that one game with all my free time until I get tired of it or beat it.  Then it's the same cycle all over again.

And I don't believe you can be "too old" for videogames, you do what you want, just don't let it consume your life, like anything else.

Well, I'm 35 and still enjoy gaming termendously. It is a great way to relieve a stressfully day of work.

I've been playing games since I was around 2 years old and I won't stop until I can't physically hold a controller anymore.  Maybe everything will be controlled by the mind by then lol.

I can't imagine not playing video games as I creep into old age. Obviously some of those Tekken combos and reversal timings in VF are going to get a bit more difficult but I'm up for it.

I don't think you can be to old but you should slow down on the amount you play them when you get older.

  That has nothing to do what age is best to quit games..   Its like saying playing cards such as poker is for kids because I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO SPEND DOING IT  and apparently you do have time because your posting a random forum...

The same as when you are too old to watch movies or read books. That's what we'll be saying one day.

That's because there is no best age to quit.  It just fades away.  And I never said I don't have time for games, everyone has free-time in their lives, but as I said, it's like I have to work up the will just to turn the console on and start playing, unlike when I was 10 and it was an automatic reaction, lol.

Never said anything about it's for kids, I voted you can never be too old, I even SAID "you can never bee too old", and I made a side note to not let it consume your life.  WHich anything can do to anyone of any age, even something like poker.  You should read into things more clearly so people don't have to reiterate for you.
