I know alot of grown man an women who still play video games an some of them play better than the kids i know it amazes me to see that these grown spose to be role models have time to sit on their a$$ to play games an most of them that do dont have a job i mean if you got a job an just like to have fun picking up the control sometime cool but if thats all you do i think it should stop at a age limit maybe 27.

Your never to old to play video games or at least that's my opinion. there are people who are 50 years old and play video games and you know what its good for you to, its been shown that playing video games increases hand eye coordination, problem solving, response time, reduces stress, etc... so whether your to old to play video games is up to you.

No age is too old to play videogames. I like them now, why would I stop liking them in 10 years? Because it's not "socially accepted" anymore? That makes no sense. If you want to play games you should play games. I also don't agree with that most adults that play videogames don't have a job. I think the lazy, immature nerd-type is a very small minority of the adult gamers.

There's no age limit on playing video games. I'm 25 years old and still playing video games since I was 5 years old. It's my hobby and plus it relaxes me from all the stress I get from school and other things. Now I do agree that if you are like my age and just playing video games all day and not working or going to school, then they need a wake up call for sure. Would be nice to play video games all the time, but you really need to do something in your life other than playing video games.

I don't think anyone is ever too old to play video games. Playing video games is a hobby and anyone should be able to enjoy that. Personally, I feel that as long as what someone is doing isn't harming anyone else, it isn't a sin or against the law, it can be done freely It's a different story if the person is in their mid 20s, doesn't have a job or try to find one, and they aren't in college and all they do is play video games. But if it's a man or woman who works, and after work or on their day off they play video games. People should do what makes them happy.

No there is no age limit in playing video ames. Because I play on the xbox with friends in the 40s so... I don't think thereis a age limit. Even if they got jobs and/or married. Let them play if they want. I don't stop, because I will kick there butts in call of duty! ;D

I think your never too old to play videogames. It's a part of our generation. But if you got a family to take care of and thats all you do, then yeah you need to get off you A** and work.

They say age is just a number. It doesn't really matter how old you are to play video games. What's important for me is that the person knows his priorities in life. I mean, if you have a family, tending to their needs comes first. Playing video games would have to take the backseat, playing in your spare time only.

I think you are never too old to enjoy videogames, but your gaming tastes change as you grow older but anyone at any age can pick up gaming and enjoy it.

I can see what you mean about being lazy. I think if your 21 and still living with your parents. Not doing anything but playing video games all day you need a wake up call. But if you go to work, pay the bills and such, what ever you do in your spare times is your choice. I will never stop playing video games. I'll probably die with an xbox controller in my hand. But that's what I do in my spare time. Work first, play later.
