<description><![CDATA[<A HREF="/useremail/u/577105"><b>JIGA</b></A> : I hit 30 last March, man does time fly. Gaming is for every age, the deal with "twitch" gaming is... there are a few true twitch games. The ones I consider twitch games are Unreal Tournament, Quake, CS. These fast paced games do require a bit of reflexes but you can also put some good tactics to use in them as well.<br><br>In my opinion, having somewhat fast reflexes plus putting in your knowledge of tactics adds to your skill. Knowing the maps helps to :)<br><br>I find myself enjoying the more slow paced tactical games these days. ARMA, OFP, and the like. I did play the Rainbow Six series pretty heavy back in the day. Wish more games like that would come out. I'm still more of a PC gamer than anything. I figure the day that consoles support more keyboard/mouse, 3rd party apps/mod support I will get into them more. I do have fun playing on my friends 360/ps3 from time to time.<br><br>My daughter is still to young to really game. She sits in my lap and watches a few games I play, mainly the racing games. We bought her one of those little learning console games and I was surprised at how good she does on it.]]></description>

I'm 32 now and I can remember my first console (Atart 5200) and have had just about every console since then.

<description><![CDATA[<A HREF="/useremail/u/388444"><b>swootton</b></A> : Actually, Colecovision came out and dominated the market with all the arcade ports. Then Coleco got stupid, they tried to enter the computer market and the Cabbage Patch Kid were the only thing to keep them afloat till they went out of business. By far a better system then anything else in the mid 80s. Then NES came and hooked all the younger gamers with Mario and stole the market after the crash.<br><br>I had a Commodore 128d then a PC and got back into consoles with a PS original the Xbox, 360 and Wii. I like mostly racing and puzzle/adventure games. I used to play a lot of Halo when it was new and spent days playing MotoGP on live right after launch.<br><br>Being 44 I find myself not keeping up with the younger ones like my 14 YO son.

Isn't that up to the user?<br><br>But as for twitch reflexes? Well, it really depends on the game. I've been gaming for years and I don't really define COD as a twitch game, I think of it more as a "smart play" or "best strategy" wins type of game. So therefore, a smart player who covers angles better and covers team mates better usually has the upper hand. I mean, sure, there is a twitch element to COD, people sneak up on you, you get caught by surprise, that type of thing. However, I still think strategy is a better option.<br><br>I'm pretty good at COD because of that style of play, sure there are faster aimers, quicker reflexed and probably these people are younger, but I usually beat them up on that game. I have a kill to death ratio of over 2 - 1, not that that's everything in that game.Plus, older people are better smack talkers! Not trying to sound conceited, just trying to make the point that I'm older and yet doing just fine on there, you can check out my stats on Xbox live, gamertag:    RiVAL<br><br>My two cents....]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<A HREF="/useremail/u/0"><b>anon</b></A> : I'm 35 and I don't just keep up, I bring tears to the pimple-faced teenage masses who call themselves "gamers". I'm usually one of the top 3 on the leaderboard after every match of COD (MW and WAW). Depends on the match, though. COD:WAW has some large maps where you have to hunt for campers cringing in dark corners (Outskirts and Seelow come to mind) so I usually fare a little worse on those maps. Those are the games where you time runs out before the score limit is reached. <br><br>I've owned just about every console since the Atari 2600. I've had Xbox Live since launch. Your reflexes and tactics will develop over time so I wouldn't worry about that. I don't think age has much to do with it. COD games aren't the most realistic or consistent shooters. Sometimes a lone bullet will drop your opponent and other times mulitple shots with an automatic weapon won't do the job.     <br><br>Some of us have jobs, kids and other obligations so we can't spend all of our time online, but you're never too old to play video games. Hell, it's a lot cheaper than some of the other things I could be doing with my free time (though maybe a little less fun).<br><br>PS - I never prestige. I find it to be neither a reward nor a challenge to do what I've already done. I'm happy to be the guy sitting there with the four stars putting bullet holes in your corpse.]]></description>

I am more into the realistic games.
