my interest level lasted all of 2 weeks....some tennis game and a bowling game.....i played it for about another 2 weeks cause the kids wouldn't take no for an answer....but once you realize that you can play almost all those games without standing up...with only a slight flick of your wrist...it all kinda becomes meh...

Nintendo Wii is ok but it is for kids and more for parties.

doug and pig, what are your level of education and current job positions?

Do you play games alone or online / with friends (multiplayer games) most of the time?

how much time a week do you spend playing video games?

Does this amount of time tend to increase ?

Is your Tv in the lounge?

Was your parents TV in the lounge when you were kids?

i think the Wii is really special in that it shows us the exciting possibilities of immersible gaming technology in the forthcoming years

but just like the first car, first telephone, and first video game console......its still very rudimentary technology

its going to be cool as hell to be a kid iin 20 years, you will have full virtual reality where you can play call of duty in a full-on 3D environment........very cool

Samba for Wii seems a bit advanced

[ToxicAvenger]

its going to be cool as hell to be a kid iin 20 years, you will have full virtual reality where you can play call of duty in a full-on 3D environment........very cool

i doubt it....as a child on the weekends...we'd play cricket for 5 to 8 hours in the morning...then some field hockey or soccer for a few...then go ride our bikes the rest of the day or go horse back riding with friends etc...

in 20 years..kids will be even lazier...stuck in front of the teli most of the day

we did play videogames...but it ws almost always at an arcade ....for a few hours on the weekend

[Natural Man]

the ones who will produce video games will use em to control the millions of people who will flee real life in these virtual worlds... how cool is that.

I just see another hard drug with lot of side effects in the making.

Online but i really just play sports games and i play with my Old Highschool friends and College Buddies.

I spend maybe 1 hour a week playing them....Maybe..

I have all three systems but only play PS3 but i use it for Blu-Ray movies and that is really all.

My TV'S are in every room. 

I never really "GOT" people who just sit there all day long and play Video Games.

i meant the technology will be cool in 20 years

i agree that in 20 years, if there is still a functioning world.....children will be sedentary, spoiled, atrophied  .....even more so then today, unless there is a profound change in the collective planetary consciousness

your trying too hard to sound smart, wether you spend half an hour reading the same old bullshit on getbig or play a game, its both useless, nerdy every day gaming is pathetic, we can agree on that

the technology WILL be cool...but me thinks we r living in the last of a golden age.....i doubt the world will be such a free place in another 40 or so years....i'm glad to be alive now...

it's ok if you consider "reading" as being as useless as playing video games, you re entitled to your opinion.

Where do i try too hard to sound smart?

Im just asking people questions. Im also inviting them to think twice with me about what they consider being "good" or "bad". Does this make me sound like a smartass? Nobody's forced to answer my innocent questions or think twice about them either.
