Page 1 of 40 year old man playing Xbox

C`mon. Is that a good thing? Or what?

I`m one of those `don`t judge people by things like age, etc.` my girlfriend thinks I`m too old to play computer games, and I`m 25! One of the directors at a place I used to work is hooked on Gran Tourismo and he`s in his 50s.

1 34 yr old happily going a round with Tiger on the Xbox, driving to oblivion with Burnout 2 and even escorting StarFox on his adventures now and again on the GC...all in the time when me and the lttlun aren`t being Owen & Becks in the back yard of course... or doing his homework...(last bit for the Mrs).
ATB...F...

I recommended a mate of mine in his 50`s to get a playstation 1 a few years back . To my astonishment he bought the playstation 1 package deal with 2 games a steering wheel and footpedals and a new tv to play it on in his spare room . He`s still playing on it to this day .

I`m 36 and I love playing games
I must admit I prefer games to have a `real` feel to them,like Medal of Honour and MotoGP, than the fantasy/cartoon genre but I bleeding well love it.
We`re the gaming generation.
We`re the ones that crowded the local chippy to play Space Invaders
We`re the ones that flooded games arcades and helped convince the manufacturers that a home market was viable.
These young whippersnappers have us to thank !
I hate age-ism...
I`m still mad on motorbikes, but I get the odd ignorant "aren`t you too old for bikes" routine from time to time.
Sod `em all.

"aren`t you too old for bikes"

Well there was me thinking all motor bikers were midlife crisis 40 somethings, so surely they should be saying your too young for bikes.

"I`m still mad on motorbikes, but I get the odd ignorant aren`t you too old for bikes routine from time to time.Sod `em all"

And quite right too, your never to old for a motor bike, Get on that bike and give it wellie.

As for console games, my grannie stills plays her sega megadrive and she`s 88. Time she traded in for an X-box.

I would like to add that ages are just numbers. I am 41 play everyday on the X-Box with my son (Mainly Halo). Now I know some guys that must be around 25 and never do anything and one of my best friend who is about 53 still goes climbing, skiing etc. So like I have said don`t let a number dictate what to do as long as you don`t hurt anyone.

If they ride Harley Davidsons, yeah..

If you haven`t played Zelda: WW on the cube yet, you are missing out on what is possibly the best game of all time - don`t let the `kiddy` tag that people have attached to Nintendo 1st party games put you off.
