About 3 hours a week at the most. Would less, but my 4-year old son loves playing Lego: Star Wars with me. We play about an hour a night on the nights that I have him. Good times.

3-4 hours a night after my little girl goes to bed, 9:30pm-midnight, 1am. Probably 5-6 days a week right now as the wife is overloaded with grad school homework. So that's 15-24 hours a week.

This number is more like 10 hours during the school semesters, and more like 10-15 when the wife isn't in school.

2006: Probably an average of 25 to 30 hours a week.

2007: Probably an average of 3 hours a week.

I cut off Gamefly / Gameznflix early in the year and my gamerscore has stagnated. Plus lots of family / girlfriend / job-related stuff has whittled away my gaming time considerably.

10-15 hours maybe really depends if I'm in the mood to play or not.

I'm good for about 10-15 hours a week, most of which is on the weekend.

about 3 hours a week, for the past month or so i probably only played about 2 hours.

Mostly due that my xbox 360 died and dont have the money to fix it right now. I have a lots of games to beat. I am like alot of you guys. I can go weeks without playing a game, then I get in the mood and play 10-15 hours a week, But been too busy with school, work, got a new dog etc

Just video games, probably less than 2 hours a week average, with most weeks being zero and occasional weeks of 20 or more.

Include PC games (really just Heroes of Might and Magic 3 or 4), and it goes to at least triple that, with about half the weeks at zero and a few at 50 or more.

about 10 hours or so

Probably 10-15 hours, but it can vary a lot depending on work. I try to get in a couple hours a night after work/the gym/other stuff. I don't really watch tv anymore.

15 - 20 hours a week.

At the very most, maybe 30 or 35 hours in a week. That's a rarity and happens only a few times. Last time was when I had Oblivion.

Heavy weeks would probably be 15 to 20 hours a week. Those happen about 50% of the time if I happen to find a bunch of Halo games or a new game is out.

I recently tried to go to bed at a more reasonable time which means that to sleep more, I play less games. I played some GHII yesterday and I hadn't picked up the 360 in a few weeks. That's the rest of the time.

15-20 hours per week (all World of Warcraft)

I have an XBOX 360 but haven't turned it on in awhile

It doesn't really effect family obligations as 90% of my gameplay is when the wife and baby are asleep.

Not having a social life outside of work and not being married or having kids = me having lots of spare time!! :banana:

Like the guy before me said, when Oblivion first came out, I was completely and utterly addicted. I was seriously putting in 10 hours a day on that game during the week and on weekends with no work or anything else to do, I was playing it almost the entire weekend non-stop. That lasted for almost a month.

Do you think playing 20-30 hours per week is the reason why you have no social life?

5-10 hours a week

No, not really. I am a loner at heart, so I choose to have no social life. I am alone but I am not lonely.

I only buy a few new games a year. When I do, I'll play 10-15 hrs a week until it's beat. Then, I'll go a few months without playing at all.

About 5. Unfortunately, I have a life.
