I think it's more a case of whatever you find relaxing. I love my x-Box 360 and don't consider a few hours wasted by using it...oh, and I also spend plenty of time with friends! ;-)

Help me out here. What is it with guys and gaming?
I like games where I get to shoot stuff because...well...because I get to SHOOT stuff.
And I like Wii fitness/dance because I can actually move around and participate. But I really don't get it the addiction.
Maybe its like guys not understanding why women like shoes...

Juillianna, unfornately I am one of those gamers that gets addicted to games. and u wonder why we do?
well to me it is fun and helps me break frusteration.. then once my frustration is broken I want to always be on it so my frusteration is gone longer. I hope this makes sense to you Juillianna and whoever is reading it.

It might be that inner competitive nature that drives some of us to beat the game. This might also include those of a similar nature when it comes to fighting games and multiplayer/shooting games. I don't really play as much as I used too. But I do at times, play a game of system link with a handful of kids when they come over to visit my cousin's kids. Halo Reach is popular with them.
Also every once in a while, I do play online. And I like that little thrill to gain the top spot.

Okay, so it's all about world domination then. Now I get it
no.no. I do not play these games for world domaination lol..NO one should play games for domination for my opion because it can cause people to feel like they are the boss over someone else cause they dominated....no we should only play these for fun..win or loss..we will be happy..
Do not want someone who lost think that now they can not play this game no more because people would not think them the challege no more..
No one should ever play a game cause they want challege but for fun and to relax their minds..
that is my opion

I play video games because:
A) They let me do awesome things that I could never do/get away with in real life.
B) They have goals that are fun to obtain and when the goals in "real life" are not going well, it feels good to accomplish something in a video game, especially if it's difficult.
C) I'm a completionist. If a game has achievements (X-Box 360) that I think I can obtain 100% on, I will go for it like crazy. This is probably partially due to bragging rights and the satisfaction of knowing that I accomplished something that many others probably won't.
D) They're a ton of fun to break out at parties in the case of games like Rock Band.
E) In the case of FPS's, they make you feel like a hero, which is pretty awesome.
P.S. Batman: Arkham City is rocking my socks off right now. It's so awesome!

I never said I was looking read again, I said she'd come to me, plus given the circumstance I don't know what might have caused her to loose her clothes, But I'll be glad to give one of my shirts to her! and the topic is video games stick to it
and the topic is video games stick to it
Yes, you too, STICK to the JOYful topic at hand, LOL. But, no, seriously, and, I thought your thoughts worked responsively well to each other azulblue, and, ug, I began video games many years ago...
Brace yourself, go get some chips and soda, like zere said, kinda, sorta, and, Yeah, for me, growing up, vids were in my DNA. And, I will age myself but the first time I played pong was at a soccer exchange friend's house in Vancouver, Canada, in 1976. I was 9 years old. And, Yeah, B.C. had video technology before my hip town of Seattle, WA. LOL. BUT, I played that game forever as pong arrived here shortly after Canyada-yada. Yada
. So, then came a family trip in summer of 1978, to Vegas, and, I was 11. My sister and I were too young so we couidn't play the slots...Now stick with me, the real joy of what I have to say is still on the way
But, Yeah, I was mad because attendant told my dad, 'We have a area where kids stay while parents gamble.' I was thinking, 'Great, I am getting put in a room with a bunch of books, b-oring.' So dad led my sister and I to this room , it was FILLED with video games arcade size I never saw before, Space Invaders, Starcastle, Asteroids, etc. THIS was Heaven. Thank you, God, I'm sure I said.
Well, ok, the timeline then went to getting my own Atari in December '78, that was an amazing gift. The next 6 years I played that thing forever. Then came college and didn't play video games much 1st three years but then 1989 was Nintendo, the original, and, I played Mario Brothers all the time. Finally, took awhile, but I killed King Koopa in the underground
Ok, so, moving on, I played, as kayM mentioned, Zelda 'Link' and I played that game all the way to winning that thing...4 years and no life later. No, just kidding, it only took me 3 months of playing all the time. But, not kidding about the 'no life' part
So, Yeah, guess, I've said enough, I did develop campaigns for friends with D&D , which was when 15, but that is another story, except to say, I think others said it well, like Keith Eldredge book, 'Wild At Heart,' we guys want to create and destroy and, as you said, too, KayM, we want to lead others when the stakes are high and we can take risks to win.
I personally only watched my friend's kid play Black OPs , Call of Duty xbox 360. Looked amazing, truly real, almost tooo real. I have grown different these days, from life , I guess but no interest vids any more.
The Lord leads. You and me. He can take any desire from us, and, we should be like Paul, be 'content.'. But Ibwonder if shopping for girls even God could curb.

I grew up on RPGs (an almost dead genre, now), which to me, playing one is like reading a good book. They have characters I grow attached to, good dialogue, interesting stories and plot twists, and their fantasy themes often coupled with elements from modern culture make for an engrossing experience! All in all, it's a nice distraction from reality.
I'm currently working on Lunar. But seriously, if games like Chrono Trigger, Xenosaga, and some of the older Final Fantasy titles were still in good circulation/heavy production, I would probably be just as much of a gamer now as I was 5-10 years ago.

Well, I'm not a guy but I used to put in soooo many hours of gameplay a week! But I also played RPG's and a huge part of it was the fantasy aspect of it.
I think guys like to be in control, lead others, and experiencing an adventure that they otherwise couldn't.
Who doesn't want an adventure?! Lol
