Is it normal to play computer games at the age of 35??

Hi people I am wondering if it is normal to play xbox 360 at the age of 35??

I got some horror games I really enjoy like F.E.A.R, Left For Dead etc and others like G.T.A, Saints Row.

Basically I am into computer gaming but is it normal or am I the only abnormal here?
Are there people like me out there or older who enjoy gaming??

    I'm 20 yrs old, and I plan to be doing the same things I do now into my 40's... I plan on doing the same things I do now, such as music, movies, and videogames... I really enjoy them, if I find myself bored with my lifestyle, I'll be happy to change it, but for the meantime, this is all I have. A lot of people try to grow up to fit in with the fancy/productive world they're surrounded with, In my opinion that's a form of mental suicide! you shouldn't adapt to match your age group, are you a chameleon? If you need a way to make the time pass by, and there doesn't seem to be any hyper-critical assholes around you, why the **** not? YOU SIR, ARE NORMAL A+

    I'm 42 and still play Animal Crossing everyday. I have other games but I'm too lazy to play them.

    As long as you don't have 3,000,000 days played on WoW and have not seen the sun in 2 years, yes. It's a legitimate and fun hobby, as long as it's a hobby and not a lifestyle, keep on gaming brother.

    Dude, playing games is nothing more than another form of escapism. Playing video games for 10 hours is not that different from a Lord of the Rings marathon that lasts for approximately 10 hours too. There are also people out there who are also really immersed into books and they also read many hours a day. There's nothing wrong with you. As long as it doesn't take over your life, you're alright.

  • There's no age limit on video games last
    time I checked.. Besides I read
    from surveys that most gamers are around that age.

      Yes, I've heard this, too. (And at one time I heard 40 being quoted as the average age.)

      James Woods has been a voice actor for a number of video games (most notably GTA-San Andreas for Agent Mike Toreno), and he's quoted as being an avid video gamer at the age of 60.
