"Why do you play?"

Ok now I know this isn't much of a post but it was just a topic that interested me, I won't use the excuse 'I'm new here (dont shoot)' because that is just silly, although i haven't been on this site before i can still decipher what is decent and what is not.

Anyhoo I was playing Zelda: TWW the other day and my girlfriend walked in and watched for a while, she asked me why I spent hours of my free time on a video-game? To be honest i wasn't sure, for me it's just something I have grown up with right from the good old Commodore or even the Spectrum. What about you?

I thought so :)

I play because it's fun.

Vote The craziest Col!

Ive grown up with video games - Been playing them ever since I can remember! I play them for pure entertainment and a its the ideal way to unwind

Watching Big brother is probably better than playing games to some people...

But i find that games can be enjoyable, emotional, fun amd engrossing some games are like a film except you actually play in them.

Watching BB is better than alot of things to alot of people..I however am not one of them, i cant stand the programme...

Films are better than games. Ten times better. If I had to be isolated with either every single game ever made, or every single film ever made, I'd take the films.

I still spend more time playing games than watching films though.

I prefer games but we all have our differences.
