I've play games since Nintendo 64 era. Move to computer game in my college days & back to console after University. I've most of this gaming system in the market except PS3. Looking forward to get it once MGS4 launch.

I'm in my early 30's & I could hardly spend 2 hours a day with my games. Guess my total gaming hour per week is less than 8 hours compare to my old hardcore gaming days (5-6 hours per day).

My personal opinion, games level doesn't get harder compare to the old days. In fact, it is the other way round. Most games has become more linear & forgiving in order for gamer to enjoy the full content of the game (not all games though). However, games level has become more complex & gameplay has evolved so much.

Do agreed with some of the bros mentioned "responsibility" is taking a toll of my gaming hours. Such as work, internet surfing, self improvement reading, spending quality time with family & friends... I could go on & on.

Nowadays I spend more times with my PSP. It is not as time consuming as consoles. I can't complete most of the games like I use to during my college days. Recently completed "Kane & Lynch" "God Of War" "Final Fantasy VII:CC" "Patapon". If you notice, all above are short games. Now continuing with MHF2. My Xbox360 kena ROD & currently under surgical repair. Just when I'm about to complete "Lost Odyssey" .

However, don't think I could ever give up gaming. It's PASSION...
