I realize that many people play games 24/7. I only sometimes play games during the 5 day week, maybe 3 hours total during the week. On weekends I play about 6 hours total. So about 9 hours total a week, wow I never realized how much I play games. How long do you guys play for each week?

God, I wish I had that much time to play games. In the average week I MAY get 3-4 hours of play time, but that is rather rare. It really depends on schedules and homework. Next year though, my brother is moving in and bringing his collection with, so I can see the play time increasing and sleep time decreasing.

An hour here another there...many hours here and there. Depends really. I often have nothin to do, especially for the next 3 weeks. Avg weekly would have to be around 14+. Seems no matter what I at least get 2 hrs of game time per day. Thats the minium...god I have no life.

It REALLY depends nowadays..

Back then I used to average quite a healthy amount of gaming hours, but now on average I probably get around 2 hours per day except for on the weekends. Last Saturday I logged over 11 hours of gaming time, playing through Gun Grave and Gun Grave OD.

So in a nutshell, regardless of how little playing time I' ve averaged per day so far this year, I can usually make it up with just one day focussed to gaming only.

Just depends I guess...on average I would have to say around 2-3, but that' s really dropped off lately due to school.

I play maybe an hour or two a day on average.
Sometimes a lot like on weekends and sometimes not everyday.
I play when I feel like it.

Umm... earlier this year it was about 4 hours a day or more, 7 days a week. Heh, now I haven' t touched a game, or even turned on my xbox in over a week I believe. The last couple months have been really slow as far as gaming goes for me.

Ya Ive had them moments when I just isolate the gaming. Its liek an automatic body responce. Your body demanding you to do other things. It also keeps the life in games so I dont overplay soming into nothin.

I' m all over the place on the amount of time I play games a day. Sometimes I play 5 minutes others I play 5 hours +... sometimes I go months without playing.

I average about 10-15 hours per week. It' s about all I can do with a full-time job and other activities I participate in.

Not much atm. Probably about 30 mins a week day on average (if that). More on the weekend, but still not a fraction of how much I used to. I' m busier with school work, have a more active social life and find the majority of games uninteresting nowadays, so that probably explains why I play so little.

I seem to be hovering around the 10-15 hour mark as well. Like most of the posters here, I too have other demands on my time (I' m glad to see we attract such well rounded people :-)

I find that as i get older, I get more bored with newer games. I also find that I have less and less time to play games, and spend more time with friends or family.

Usually no more than a few hours a day, sometimes not at all. However, if a game happens to really suck me in I find myself making time to play it.

I really got sucked into Shenmue 2, I got it for Christmas one year, and I just kept playing it, like 8 hours all Christmas vacation. I just loved that game! Did anyone else get sucked into the shenmue series? I know i did, but not many people seem to get into that series too much .

Umm... Shenmue owned me. I took forever to complete the game because I just loved wondering around. The first one sucked me in more though. I found the second to be less interactive and engrossing. It was still one of my favorite games ever but the first just packed more of a punch. I had dreams about the first one. I desperately wanted revenge on Lan Di. Heh, it' s crazy but true. It is the only game that really brought out true emotion from me.

I used to play 8 (or more) hours a day...

Now, I play an average of 1 hour a day, ' cause I gots obligations like family, work, and a mortgage.

Every once and a while, I get the chance to play for 4-6 hours.

If I was rich, I would have my very own gaming room and would play at least 8 hours a day...some of the time with buddies or my kids, the rest by myself...

I play about 5 hours a day. I remb when I played FFX I would play like 8 hours a day. What a waste I could never beat Yunalisca (Spelling) I am now playing the Onimusha series. so I am back at playing more then 5 hours. Also I am not working anymore so that leaves more time for me to play. I don' t however stay playing straight I get up after 2 hours go out and get something to eat or run around outside by the lake. Then come back and play so that I wont get fat.

When Kotor came out...i played it straight from start to finish.... a 40+ hour bender from start to finish...

I usually play the crap out of games I buy, then sit around excited waiting for my next purchase...

interspersed with lots of online FPS

I sleep less so I can play more

I work, go to school, drink with friends, have a girlfriend and I' d say I still get 15+ hours in a week.
