Let' s see...

About 3 a weekday, and 4 in the weekend. So probably 23 hours. That' s, of course, depending on whether I have any distractions or not(ie. homework or going out).

I' m mostly on the computer, though.

Pretty nerdy, huh?

Heh, I can' t play much during the week, but on weekends I have been known to indulge in all-nighters on PGR3 online! So I' d say ~15-20 hrs? Which is far too much considering I' ve got uni finals coming up soon! [:' (]

I play PC and console games less than I' d want to but I spend a lot of time playing portables as I can play them whenever I go. The bus, the train, when I' m waiting for a friend, at the job , and so on. My PSP alone probably gets at least 14 hours a week.

Not much these days, I need a game to really get me involved to want to play it.
Usually under 5 hours a week.
When something gets my interest: As much time as possible.

I usually am on the computer so make me number 3 please

I play a lot when I have a really immersive game - one of those that are hard to put down.

Some games can make me play 60h per week (Japanese RPGs mainly)

I have to make all kinds of excuses for my girlfriend when that happens and when I do meet her, I' m still thinking how I' m going to defeat the boss or something like that.

That' s rare unfortunately - most games don' t keep me that hooked.

I play only when I have 2-3h of spare time - when I have less time I just surf the net.

What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

A great FPS,with to short SP,and a A.I that isnt as great as you want it to be,but PDZ has awesome graphics,and great MP.-its basically a 88/100 for me...thanks to the co-op-
Anyway the reason why i bought it,and nothing more the 24 feb,was because i wanted to save my money for GRAW/OB coming in march,and yes i get my graw as soon as it hit my store in the 7 or 10th...
10th is the EU release but,stores get the game earlier,and sometimes let you buy their game a day or two before release.

I only play one type of game. But i do it in a sick fashion. I discovered console video game when i hurt myself and couldn;t work for a week. I went to a friend who was on school brake and he was playing GTA Vice City (with the book wich makes it more of a treasure hunt than only a killing spree). We played this for 4 days in a row and had an amazing time.

Since then, I' ve waited long for SA and took a holiday to play it for 5 days in row. Nothing else than 4 hours of sleep and 20 hours of game every day for that week. My hole life was put on hold because of a game.

Happily, there is not that much game that are as clearvely made (yeah yeah I know some of you think they are crap, save your saliva) with an environnement so satirical and imaginative so each time I rent something else (Mercenaries (yak) total overdose (yak yak)) that is suppose to be in the same line I quit it quickly. I won' t even touch the Crime thing in NY or LA.

Else I try to play a bit of the first Civ game or Ages of empire no 1 once in a while.. for fun and because I;m to cheap to ay for game. Not more than 3-5 hours a week.

By the way, if you' ve got game suggestion for my game player history please feel free.

Kikizo is a great source of information but when you know nothing it' s hard to understand all the FPS, AID, WNY.

Well good day to you all

hehehe

Now don' t get me wrong ...it' s not like I' m thinking about Ocelot while ...you know.

It' s rare - the game I play must be totally awesome (I' m playing MGS3 right now and yesterday when I stopped ,the timer was at 10h).

Normally I play 10 -15 h per week.

I think it' s awesome that there are still games that can absorb me so much.

Not sad at all.

^5 Gangsta!

Hey Ranpage the thing is, ...the kind of women Gangsta associates with are HOT as hell, so it' s not like there' s an issue there, ...but women are one thing and games are another.

I love my girlfriend, that goes without saying, but i love games more...

It DOES have to be an awesome game though (or almost anything on DS). Lu' does play games though, Kameo mostly so she kinda gets it. It' s hard to explain really, it' s escapism i guess.

I dunno, ...i' ve spent the day in the pub and need to lie down. I think i' m gonna go watch some Samurai Champloo or maybe Naruto and pass out. Lu' says hi to Gangsta but no love for anybody else...?!

I used to play 20-30 hours a week which was mostly on the weekends but in the past year my mental stamina for videogames has dwindled away. So now its more like 5 hours a week. I think I spend more time talking about videogames now. Once I quit my job I' m hoping to recover and pick up my old habits.

I haven' t played too many games lately since i' m out of a job again. But I' ve been keeping busy with sonic rush and some pc games. As of lately I' ve been spending about 15 hours a week on games, mainly on Age of Empire 2. Yeah I know it' s old, but I' ve only played the demo of the first one a long time ago and the 2nd one seemd ok, and since i don' t have a really good pc it' s one of the only good ones I can play, till i build my next pc.
