What is your average gamer?
Well according to studies an average gamer is a 35 year old who earns around £23,000 a year and plays for a couple of hours a day. It also says that the average gamer is married and spends two and a hald hours a day, five days a week playing games and also stays up to 11pm. We are also told that both male and female gamers spend as long as each other gaming.
Gamers also own two different consoles and on averge own 18 games each! Gaming can also cause arguments? apparently the average gamer argues with their partner twice a week all over gaming! The most popular consoles among respondants are ps3, Wii and Xbox 360.
This research gathered is from a gaming network names 'Pixwoo'.

Pro Gamer- For some people gaming is a dream, especially pro gamers. Some people earn a living just through gaming. People enter tournaments all over the world and win up to prizes such as £300,000. There are pro gamers all around the world who spend most of their days gaming as a living.
Newbie- A newbie could be said to someone who is new to a game, a concept or a forum. In this case it is someone who is new to a game and does not know what it is about. It is a slang term used mainly with teenage crowds.
Casual Gamer- A casual gamer is someone who limits their time playing video games. Casual gamers also like to play games that are easy to play. The casual gamer is usually older and also female. A casual gamer might not also own a certain type of console or video game to play their game.
Retrogamer- A retrogamer is a gamer who prefers to play and collect retro games which usually consist of older video games or computer games. They are also referred to 'old school gamers' or 'classic gamers'. These terms are more common in the United States.

My least favourite game genres are action adventure games such as legend of zelda series. The reason for this is maybe because i do not have the creative mind as some others have, whereas i like more realistic games. I also find the process of keeping up with a lot of series of games timewasting. I also do not like games such as certain war games as i find them hard to control.
I think my favourite game of all time is Grand Theft Auto. The reason being is it is such a life like game! you can do pretty much everything that you can do in real life which makes it more relaistic and fun to play. Realistic meaning from driving a car to jumping off a building!
I think the most offensive computer game i have come across is called 'Muslim Massacre' online. The game gas its title offensively suggests you to massacre as many Muslims as possible. The producer of the game has made it so that you are controlling an American Hero who wipes out as many Muslims with armament weapons. This is the reason as to why i find this game highly offensive.
I believe that games should have age rated content on them as nowadays kids are picking up bad habbits from games and this causes to take on these bad habbits in reality. If there was no age rated content, the youth of today would all be brainwashed by what they see on video games.
