    It's not that games aren't fun anymore, it's just that now, with so much school, and homework, and actually hanging out with friends.....I don't have as much time. Yet somehow I still manage to come on here way more than I should...meh. I keep on buying games, and am playing about 5 or 6, but I don't have the time I'd like to have at the moment, to really focus on anything big-time. Which makes me sad, but maybe it's a good thing....*shrug* 4-day weekend coming up, so we'll see.

    chaos: Personally, the largest issue is time. Exams, work etc. just don't make gaming that fun, especially when you're playing in a rush, or organized time.

    Rubedo: I also agree that they are getting less fun, IMO. I miss playing the older Final Fantasies, although there are still a handful of good games in this era.

    I don't play as much as I used to, mostly because the games aren't as good as they used to be and because I found other things to do with the PC like web designing or making graphics.

    I play about the same, maybe a bit less. Or even a bit lot less. There are times where I won't even touch games for weeks, and times when I'll play games nonstop. So it's varying.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    Well I'll be playing a lot more games when I go home for christmas because I have to thrash my brother and sister at Timesplitters 2 and Red Alert 2, but at the mo christmas songs and assignments seem to be taking up all my time. However as soon as the assignments are out of the way I'll have a reason to reward myself with a new game, maybe GTA:SA or something else *can't wait*

    However until the 17th Dec, a lot less, then afterwards a slight bit more, depends if I can extend the day to 25 hours

    I have plenty of time on my hands, but I'm not that interested in games anymore. These days, I only play the WWE games on my Playstation 2. I've tried to "get into" some of the more recent titles available, but none of them appeal to me. I either get bored of them within a couple of days, or I become so annoyed with their flaws that I stop playing them. Games aren't as good as they used to be, in my opinion.

    I miss the days of Super Mario Bros and Sonic the Hedgehog.

    You can do it! Use T-Bone, Everybody's Club and the Big Air Ball. You'll always hit it straight, and T-Bone is strong enough to reach the par 5's in 3.

    Simple question. Do you?

    Personally, I don't. I haven't played any games since August, or almost 4 months. My PS2 was collecting so much dust at a point I just let my brother take it with him.
    Me to, I left my Ps2 with my bro like 2 weeks ago an I really can't say I needed it, But I still find games fun I liked GTA San andreas

    Hmm, well it really depends what game it is. If it's an RPG, who knows when I'll stop.

    But, I've been having more important stuff to do, like homework, exams, community service hours(bleh)...
