Do you like video games?  Are you what they call a gamer?

I play as much as I can.  I guess I would be considered a casual gamer. I have always been a fan of video games.  They can be good stress relievers also.  Trust me I know.  I like to keep my systems up to date and also stay up on all the new games coming out.

Some may ask what is a gamer.  Well www.wikipedia.org says a gamer is: Historically, the term “gamer” usually referred to someone who played role-playing games and wargames.^{[citation needed]} More recently, the term has grown to include players of video games. While the term nominally includes those who do not necessarily consider themselves to be gamers (i.e., casual gamers),^[1] it is commonly used to identify those who spend much of their leisure time playing or learning about games.

I have been bad this year and not gotten as many games as I would like.  It’s been hard because I like racing games and sports but I also like action games but not first person games which a lot of action games are. It’s hard to pick when you have such wide range of games you like to play.

I like my Nintendo Wii www.nintendo.com/wii because it gets you involved in the game.  Wii was the first gaming system that gave that option and it’s been great.  I got most of my sports game for wii just because you can be more active.  I am however not a fan of racing games for wii but that’s because I can’t race well.

Now of course you must have a PS3 or some type of Playstation system www.us.playstation.com .  Playstations are classic in my opinion.  My first gaming system was a playstation and I have been hooked ever since.  I always get my racing games for playstation the graphics are great and the controller is easier to use.

And of course we can’t for the XBOX www.xbox.com . I bought the xbox when it first came out a few years ago and I loved it.  The graphics are awesome and some of the xbox only games are sweet.  I bought the xbox 360 just so I could get Def Jam Icon and we beat the game the same day.

So as you can tell I like my games.  They can keep you active and relieve a stressful day.  With Playstation and Xbox both having motion controlled systems attachments know it’s no reason to not be active when gaming.

I use my wii fit active as my daily workout and I use my xbox & playstation as my relaxation method.  You can learn a lot from some of the games made for these systems.

So get out and get gaming,
