I believe in gaming for life. It's another form of entertainment like movies and music.MuffinPunk

Very well put. I couldn't have said it any better.

The only people who are too old for games are those who didn't grow up with them and therefore don't have the hand-eye coordination to play well. I'll be 28 this year and have been playing games since I could sit up. I may be too busy to play games regularly now but it'll still remain my top hobby until my hands give out on me. 80s kids will never stop gaming.

I don't see why you'll ever be too old, unless you act superior towards younger players on Xbox Live or others because of your age, unless they're truly just immature morons who deserve it..

Anyway, whoever made that comment about being older than 22-23 makes you too old to own a 360, is simply plain stupid. Think about it - How many members of the team who created Call of Duty 4 are not over that age, huh?
Go ahead and buy one if you feel like it. :)

You are too old for video games when you start buying into the crap poloticians like Hilary Clinton say about games. Other than that you are never too old in my opinion "as long as you don't start being a parent figure online" to play games, and this is coming from me a 14 year old. Game on.

I don't think you can ever be too old to play games. You may grow out of some (i don't play Pokemon anymore) but it's a form of entertainment. I for one would like to see more mature people playing. The beat the whiney 12 year olds anyday.

You are never too old to play video games, as other have indicated it is a form of entertainment. As long as you enjoy it and it sounds like you are then don't worry about anything. A GAMER is always a GAMER no matter what age you are :)

H. E. double hockey stick NO. I'm 39, married to a loving wife of two young boys ages 3 and 8. It's economic while at the same time fun for me. I would rather come home from work and play video games than hang out in the streets and burn unneccessary money w/ my friends. It's my outlet from the stresses of reality we live in. Mind you, I spent less than 500.00 on video game expenses in 07 and I'v played 75% of the good new games this year on the 360. If playing video games at your age causes you to worry more Mgcrider than have fun, than take up gardening to keep in w/ etiquette.

All games are developed by adults...

21+

so why not?

If my dad played Gears it would be sick.

my wife and I are both hardcore gamers (I'm 28, she's 31) and plan on staying that way

I would rather play with people in the 18+ crowd - I'm not going to stereotype the younger people and say they're all annoying,because I've played with lots of them that aren't

but the majority of the time the people that irritate me online are younger, but this is in no way a 100% thing - idiocy knows no age boundaries

Dude, I'm 30 and love gaming. Demographics show that 18-35 is the target age for game developers. The top end of that spectrum just keeps on getting older as the original gaming generation (ummm, people born before 1985) ages.

Hey everybody! I wanted to vent a little. I was playing COD4 and someone made the comment that if you were born before 1985, you shouldn't be playing this game. That's right, before 1985. Now I did some math, and that means if you are older than 22-23, you shouldn't be playing Call of Duty. This was frustrating, because some guys have a stereotype of adults as being losers if they play video games, but I'm 26, married, a teacher, and a home-owner. My wife even enjoys certain games on the 360, like Texas Hold 'em and Amped 3 (everyone has a favorite). So, my question is, when are you too old to enjoy games on any console, and was this guy a freaking idiot for saying what he said? Holler.mgcrider08

You are never too old for a 360.

Half the people I play online with are in they're 30s. The oldest is 65. And they're more challenging to play with the random under 14s on live.

I feel bad when I play 360 because even though I'm 17 I'm pretty popular and none of my friends play videogames(sometimes madden) So I just play Oblivion secretely. When I wanna take a break from partying I answer my cellphone and I'm like yeah that party sounds rad but I'm going out with some chicks later 2night take care man...but the truth is I'll be in the realms of Oblivion fighting to free Tamriel from the demonic forces

there is no such thing as too old for video games. as long as you can see the screen and you still enjoy it why should there be an age limit for video games? i know plenty of people over the age of 30 who play a lot. don't worry about it.

You are never too old. I saw this one guy who had to be at least in his 50's looking at games in Gamestop. I know for a fact it wasn't for someone else because he kept begging his wife to get certain games for the mature audience like Max Payne and such for the PS2 a few years back.

Again, I wrote the question partly out of sarcasm. I know I'm not, but I just wanted to see if everyone else thought this was as stupid as I did. No offense taken.

i am 37, married, 2 kids, a firefighter. i am from the atari 2600 generation. i was only about 10 (i guess, dont really remember what age) when i got my atari 2600 and i still remember how cool "combat" "asteroids" and "adventure" were (i still have a 2600). most of those kids that got a 2600 for christmas back then are about my age now. im surprised that everyone my age isnt a gamer. i will never stop, until my health deteriorates to the point where i cant. i can only imagine what games will be like in 20 years.............

i just bought a psp too so i can play at work :)

I think it's cool when i run into adults on-line. I was playing COD 4 today and there was a guy on my team who said he couldn't swear cause he had a kid and he was talking about all the games he used to play on the old consoles. It was cool and he was good. I don't think you can be too old.

If you're an "adult" why do you care so much about what some random Xbox Live kid said about you? Live is notorious for immature jerks. Try to keep that in mind when you're online.

Haha you ain't to old for games. Like someone said they're another form of entertainment. Thats like saying after 35 years old you can't go and see a movie. It's crazy. Thats what happens when 13 year olds keep getting pwned by older players ;)
