I've all but given up gaming atm, i just can't seem to justify them time i'd probably waste playing them! I can't play games "a little bit" really... Granted we've got the wii now but thats perfect a real pick up put down console, which is great if i want to fart around. But "real" gaming, well i haven't really done that in... i don't really know a long time i guess...

I must admit I tend to stick to games and play them solidly. When I got Forza2 I couldn't put it down....then COD4 came along and I play that all the time. I've recently gone back to some Forza races but now have PGR4 so that will probably replace Forza for a while.

So currently, I'm swapping between PGR4 and COD4. Keeps me happy

I generally feel guilty if I game too much - the sorts of games I play (sims 2, AOE, etc) I can lose days to so I avoid starting playing them unless I know I have nothing else to do (which is very very rare).

I'm pretty similar to Jasper, I must admit. I'm more often playing stuff on Kongregate than main stream games these days. Ocassionally I'll play a mainstream game for a bit, bioshock, HL2, crysis, but thats about it and once completed I have no huge desire to go and replay them again. Stuff like Desktop Tower Defence I keep going back to.

I used to play that all the time till I managed to beat the 10K gold fun mode, then it kinda lost it's appeal. I still need to go back and try to complete hard mode though.

It's stress relief for me, an escape and pretty much my only hobby most of the time so I can't see me changing any time soon. My ex and i used to spend a lot of time gaming and tbh I can't picture myself with someone that wouldn't appreciate it's my 'thing'. So I reckon I'll be an OAP gamer

I guess it's part of my identity now, same as with avid sports fans, soap fans, readers, movie fans etc.

Have you tried it since the introduced the Dark ones? I used to be able to manage 90 odd levels of the 100 challenge until these sods came along.
