Adults play video games???

Yes, it is true!

I myself have my own X Box 360 with Guitar Hero. I am hoping to get a Wii one day, but we shall see. My family plays Rock Band at the majority of family functions like Thanksgiving and dinners. View the following video and answer the questions in your post:

  1. Everyone in my family plays video games especially me. I play call of duty, gears of war, halo, rockband, etc... My sister plays halo 3 but rock band 2 mostly along with my parents. No, I’m not surprised adults play video games because I know a lot of adults who play video games especially W.O.W., I even know some adults who make games like MLB. Adults like to play video games for the same reasons kids do because they enjoy it and its very entertaining. Plus it’s something to get together and do on the weekends and on weekdays with friends or family. My family and I get together and play rockband 2 at my uncle’s house alot. Its fun and everyone gets a kick out of it including my grandparents who like to play.

  2. The only people in my family that play viedo games are me and my sister. We both like to play the oldie games like Mrs.Packman and pole position( car racing game). No, I am not suprised that adults paly videogames because not only are they fun but most videogames were made for adults. I think adults like to play videogames because that get to be and do crazy and wild things that they would never do in real life.

  3. I think that it is good for adults to play video games because it brings the kid out of them. Some may want to play because it could be a good stress reliever after a long hard day at work. It does say that the game sytem "Wii" is now used in elderly care houses to get there body moving and exorcised. I guess it doesn`t involve to much work where they cannot handle it. It is also said that it is used in rehab control to get there minds working and a way for them to have fun! Playing video games is not just a way to be lazy, but can also help in ways where people really need it. 8B15

  5. In my family, my sisters, my brother, and my dad play video games. I'm not really sure what games they play. I sometimes play rockband and stuff like that, but I don't find a huge interest in videogames. No I am not surprised that adults play video games. I'm not surprised because adults have fun and they can get rid of stress. Some adults probably enjoy playing with their children and spending time doing something that their children and theirselves enjoy. Some adults may play for fun or some may play things like the Wii to move around.

  8. In my family my sisters mainly play video games they play all kinds of things. I personaly dont really like video game sometimes i will paly rock band or guitar hero but other than that no. my sisters play gitaur hero mainly. they will spend hours on end up in our loft playing video games. i am not suprised that adults paly video games because maybe they have watched their kids do it and wanted to try it and then ened up getting addicted and continued to play. i think adults play video games because if they spend a long day at work they would probably want to come home and do something do get their stress out or just take a break from numbers and writing and play a few games with their kids or by themselves just to kind of come down.
