How many of you folks play video games and what are you currently playing.

I collect and play video games and I'm currently playing Grand Theft Auto 4 on the Xbox 360.

Wii Fit.. lol

Other than that, Paper Mario on the Wii, I have given up with most other games consoles as once I got a Wii, I realised that most other consoles are just boring, although I do play PC games now and then, such as Guild Wars.

I have a Wii, but I don't use it much. I need to get off my butt and play the latest Mario.

Wii Fit, Wii Sports...sometimes Legend of Zelda. Otherwise, I just don't get exercise except for weekends (I watch my niece, who's 5 years old...full of energy!). My Wii's a must for me!

I just bought a big screen 61" HDTV. I can't wait to see how Grand Theft Auto 4 looks on it.

That's a grrreat game. My boyfriend and I had it for the PS2. He'd do the missions, I'd start gang wars and pump up his character's stats. I can't get over some of the neat stuff in there!! It's like...a never-ending world.

I'd much rather play as Tommy Vercetti (GTA Vice City) than Niko Belic.
