How old is too old to play video games ?

Eh? Why do people even find the need to correllate video games and age? Why would it be more acceptable for a 70 year old to play golf in person as opposed to Wii sports?

I've been into video games and gaming my whole life. It seems as of late, now that I'm 25, that to me at least I'm getting a little to old for it.

For instance: Last night me and the girlfriend was walking around Wally World and I just looking at the Xbox 360 games and something just said, "your getting too old for games anymore"...lol

I guess when Diablo 2 came out, those were my gaming days..I can remeber wasting lots of hours on that !

ATOT...What do you guys think ?

Uh oh this is not a good sign, at this rate you will be saying the same thing about sex in 1-2 years. 🙁

Play till your hands don't work anymore. Have sex till... well you get the point.
 
My old man will be 60 this year and he still games on his PC and Xbox...maybe I'll get the family to chip in and get him a Xbox360 for Christmas to keep him busy during retirement that starts next month 😉
 
How old is too old to play video games? Never.

If playing isn't keeping you from more important thinjs in life like family, work and socializing then keep doing it if you enjoy it.

Some Star Trek wisdom: The more complex the mind the more the need for the simplicity of play.

For reasons known only to me I stopped playing games cold turkey last year. I felt like I was wasting my life. Too bad I figured this out after playing for 20 years!
 
I'm 31 and I'm taking my newly acquired Wii to my parent's house this weekend to let them have a go with Wii Sports. It is simply another form of entertainment to me, and I'd generally rather play a game or two than watch most of the drivel on TV.
