Well Im pretty young and I have only been playing video games regulerly only a few years. Before that it was porbably when I was 6 helping my sis in nancy drew games :). Now I play modern games like BF3 but I LOVE old gaames. Despite me not having any nostalgia cause Im too young, I LOVE to play galaga at my arcade or pacman. We also have an entire building filled with pinball machines, so in my eyes, the old games really got it right. Now it seems games need to have perfect graphics and everything has to be right. But pacman, no real graphics or anything, but it was just the right type of game to be fun and addicting.

I think I was about 5 and it was some PS1 games. Then I got a PS2 and started playing it a lot more. Around 5/6 I think. I've been gaming ever since more or less. I can still remember playing the old FIFA 02 etc....

We now have a son, he is 4 and wants to play too. But we have no little kiddie games like Spyro or the like. Is he too young to learn to play or should we buy more age appropriate games?

We tried Crash but he just likes to crash(lol) into the walls.

So what age did you or your brother or sister start playing video games and could play it?

Well I started on Gamecube and mostly flash games on PC, but dont throw him right into some very complicated games. For instance, fps style gmes have a steep learning curve to get used to. But also dont get too worried about a game being to violent because most studies show that violent video games to not relate at all to violent behavior. By that I mean just some violence, not frikkin gta and gears when he's 6 XD. But ya, start him up with more in depth games when he's young cause if he gets use to them while he's young, its much easier to grasp the idea and keep it if you know what I mean. When your a kid, its a whole other reality, but as you get older it turns more and more into just a screen.

I was about 6 years old when i started playing...i remember playing baseball on NES

I started to play video games when I was in 8 years old. Those days I had an Atari 2600 and now I have a Xbox 360 kinect gaming controller. I love to play video games.

I started when I was 12, Good o'l CS!

God... it's been so long, I can't even remember. I'm thinking that I was probably five or six.
