how old is too old to play video games?

When you move out, have a girl/kid and have a little responsibility, it's ok to play games casually but not obsessivelyBodyElite

people like to associate video games with kids sinse they are more prominent this generation than ever. but seriously, all gaming is, is a new medium of entertainment. no different than a movie or reading a book or listening to music. its a hobby, and although some hobbies can be immature, like hotwheels car collecting (me) they help us pass the time and as long as we dont obsess over these things than you are good.

Gaming is a hobby, dude - an ageless hobby.

I can understand moving away from children's games, but generally people just move into better genres, RPGs, for example.

If you're older then me, you're too old.

Simples.

around 60 you need to stop playing action games

When you can't even hold a gamepad/move a mouse.

You can be a gamer until you're too busy or tired to play after working all day. Then you can become a collector and casual gamer on the side. In order to keep gaming in your late years, you could always get an iPhone or iPod Touch and pretend you use it to call people or listen to music, and oh yeah, might as well try a few of those games from the app store, you know, just to see what they're like while you're waiting on your girlfriend to show up. You wouldn't look strange then.
