I play an hour a day, except on weekends when it shrinks to 10/20 minutes due to my jobs and drinking sessions. I usually play at the dead of night, 3-4 am, like some scruffy owl, as that's the only time I'm ever free.

I still haven't seen Smashville by day.

Before anybody corrects me, what I meant was: I haven't seen KK Slider sing his Saturday morning song.

It depends on what type of game im into the moment, like for an adventure game i may play 9 hours over the weekend (kind of scary) and it really depends on how fun a multiplayer game is (like for Mario Kart Wii I don't want to know how much i played that game)

I play about a hour and a half a day at the moment but that is mainly because of my Wii Fit routine.

I play some casual games almost every day (Guitar Hero). Other times I get a hankering to play Zelda or Metroid and I can play for multiple hours on end. All depends on the wife, job, school work and this damned election.

Well, last year I was a senior in college. This afforded me much time. I played the Wii maybe two or three hours a week and the 360 another five.

Then I came to law school. I've played the Wii maybe two hours in the last two months. :(

I try to play daily, if just a quick VC game , I do try to make a point to play Wii sports fit test once a day, lately though my 360 gets more of my attention.

When I get a new title, I like to blast through it as quickly as possible so I can get back to my real life.

During those times, I can chalk up to 3-4 hrs nightly. Once the game is beaten, I generally get in an hour or so every other night, either playing VC titles or slowly re-treading through some of my old Cube games.

OK... It's about time someone asked that question. I've a terrible confession to make: Spore® has almost taken over my video game life! And, thanks to the Wii's message board, my betrayal is now being electronically logged! Before the advent of this Spore® thing, I used to easily log 8 to 10 hrs. per week playing games on the Wii. But now, I'm lucky to get an hour a week by checking for Mariokart tournaments and doing my semi-weekly "Die repeatedly in a Megaman game" exercises.
I know it's a temporary phenomenon. (Animal Crossing City Folk, Wii Sports Resort launching soon) And I just downloaded Secret Of Mana and the new World Of Goo. Both of which are exceptionally good games. But, that doesn't make me feel any less ashamed!
Whhheeewww! I feel a bit better having gotten all that out. Thank you Fanboy's® for asking that question...

about 5 hours a day. i only work on weekends (which then it drops to 2 hours) and weekdays i'm at school (collage). though when i'm out of school and done with H/W is when i'll boot up the Wii and start playing my five hours of play.

(((~1-2 hrs weekdays) x 2 weekends) x 2 new releases)

That's my best guess anyway.

At least 1 hour a day...
I still play Brawl, Tenkaichi 3, and Mario Kart with my gf on a regular basis... (especially after creating a new Brawl Stage)
Oh, and Battle of the Bands, cuz that's fun. :)

So... pretty good amount of time (not to mention the amount of time my gf spends checking the Everybody Votes channel, Internet Channel, and reorganizing things).

... also, I swing out all the other games whenever guests are over. :) (especially my little cousin)

Unfortunately I haven't had the time or money to play the Wii much at all. Last game I played was Kingdom Hearts for PS2 because I was in the mood for a high quality Square Enix RPG and the Wii was a bit lacking. Plus it was less than 20 bucks. Great game though, I think I'll pick up the sequel when I have some spare cash and free time.

I do want to play Okami and Zelda:TP soon though.

You really should pick up KH2. One of my Top 10 series/games of all time. Though maybe you should wait for the PS2 release of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories(December) if you want to know exactly what happened after KH1.(Though KH2 basically tells you what happens...and 358/2 Days tells more during Sora's *mini-SPOILER* sleep...*mini-SPOLIER*)

I'm a bit time poor, so only twice a week on average. My PSP gets most of my gaming attention

Unless i'm on a DS game, then its 0 for Wii.

Hah. When I got my DS, my Wii time was already pretty low. Then I got my DS, and stopped playing Wii altogether for a few weeks.

Curiously, though, playing my DS actually made me start playing Wii more once the novelty wore off a bit. I guess I fell back in love with games.

'eh...maybe 3-5 hours a week, at best.

Although sometimes I manage to not even turn my consoles on for a whole week.

My gaming time has actually gone down in the last month, too, since I'm a neighborhood leader for the Obama campaign...so my nights are pretty much booked up and by the time I get home, I usually just want to eat, surf the web a bit and then sleep!

I'm not meaning to be...mean, but don't you think campaigning for Obama, or any major candidate, is a worthless pursuit? All these politicians, campaign managers, backroom staff, they all emerged from the same squalid institutions, the same piss-ridden pool. It's quite the family affair, I must say.

To devote your time and energy into such activities is pointless because, as can be shown over the last few months, no politician gives a flying fuck about the electorate. Only the money men matter. So, unless your making 6figures, you're wasting your time.

Aussi: why ignore Mckinney or Nader? They're running too, msm.

I don't take anyone seriously who gives me the tired old bullshit line about "they're all the same and don't care about anyone" stuff.

Sorry. When you can think for yourself and look at such facts independently, get back to me.

I'd say in the 3 to 25 hour a week range, depending on what I'm playing that week.

I play at least 45 minutes of Wii Fit each day (that's about 35 Fit Credits, the test, and navigating the menus). That's about 5:15 a week, and that is the bare minimum I play each week.

If I've gotten a new game recently, add about 24 hours of playing it, or if I pick up an old game that I haven't finished (I did this a while ago with Sonic and the Secret Rings). If I'm having a party, add 4-5 hours.

So anywhere from 5:00 to 35:00 would be a good range. On average, probably about 10:00 across the board.
