I have quite a few reasons to love video games.  I began playing when I was 4 years old, after I was given a Nintendo and 20 games by a friend of my dad's.  I played the heck out of that console, and even hung out with a guy we called "Nintendo Jeff".  He seemed to be able to beat any game thrown at him (not literally lol :-)).  I admired that guy for his skills, and for his dedication to video games.  
Now, nearly 20 years later, I have become a serious gamer.  I'm not the gamer I used to be, just playing for kicks.  When I play a video game, I want to be inspired!  I want to see new ideas at the forefront of the game, both in gameplay and in innovation.  But most of all, I like to see a good storyline that uplifts me, like Skyward Sword's did so fluently.  If I had a PS3, I would definitely be picking up Ni no Kuni and Journey, among other games.
Why do you play video games?  Let me know here and feel free to kick off discussion with other gamers like you.  Thanks and have fun!

Well, sometimes I just need to kick back and relax, and then video games pop up into my mind.

Its an interesting question for anyone to ask, " Why do you like video games?"

Some people feel the urge to play video games to get to the 'top rank' in games like Call of Duty. Or some people want to complete a game like Pokémon.

Personally I like playing video games to get my mind off things... or, just because I am bored and there is nothing else to do.

I have an xbox and that is what I play... or I play my N64, or go on Vizzed

I like video games because : 1. They are awesome ; they provide mental stimulation while simultaneously giving hand eye co - ordination. 2. They give me superpowers ; I can do things in video games that I cannot do in reality and 3. They kill time ; they provide me entertainment and amusement .

Of course I love video games that is the reason I came to this site to play some video games but I admit I don't play them much on this site I rather pop in a disk and play some games on my PS3.

It kills some time and it interests me how people make these games.
Also, the story and depth of the game.
Like skyrim and fallout.
Not because "Guns" or "Swords" because of the depth and side quests in games.
Take mass effect for example.

Mostly, to pass the time. It is something that I am good at. I have even made some money by participating in some semi-pro racing game tournaments a few years ago.

I'm not too bad at video games myself, but I have never gotten good enough at a particular game to enter a serious tournament.  Puzzle games are the games I'm best at, especially those that involve mathematics in some way.

How can you not like video games? No matter who you are or what you like there's a game for you. I don't like video games.......I love em! I love games because you can do anything you want to do and be something that you might not be able to be in your real life and they are just plan and simple fun. I also collect video games. Hunting for games and good deals in the "wild" is almost as fun as playing the game you find.

To be honest?
When I was a kid I played games to do stuff I could not do in real life.
At age 6 I could never fight gangs the way you do in "Double Dragon".
I could Never Pilot a Fighter Jet like a person could in "Afterburn".
It typically stemmed from those desires.

Eventually I grew into my teenage years. Allot of things changed like ability to do certain things as opposed to a 6 year old changed but still there was allot I could not do.
Like say ... visit another world like I could in "Final Fantasy".
Or
Take on a group of terrorists like you do in "Syphon Filter".

When I hit my 20's?
It became a question of stuff I would rather not do in real life. Ever.
For Example "Metal Gear Solid 1". I would not want to do a Job like that without "Back-up". Period. I would freeze to death in the first Five Minutes. Then when I'm given an Eight Hour Time Limit?? "Take that job and shove it", and "#@%$ the world."

"Marvel Vs Capcom 1,2, or 3".
Any of the Final Boss Fights.
"You want me to fight That?" "Get someone else. I'm done. Where's my prize money?"

"Doom". (Or any F.P.S. game.)
"You gotta be kidding me." (Flips out a cell phone.) "Hello 911. I'm having hallucinations. What do you recommend I do?" "Any one report a Gas Leak or something in the area? Cause I'm having one heck of a time here."

I play games to enjoy events and stories I would rather never want to do in real life.
And that is mostly.

At other times I do it to solve a puzzle that took dozens and hundreds of people to set up.
Like "Ninja Gaiden" or any High Difficulty Game. (Puzzle Games Too.)
Me vs a number of people. Our minds met and matched wits. I'll do it just to beat them.

And then there is the healthiest of reasons I can think of.
No one ever was hurt playing a Fighting game or an F.P.S. Competitively.
To this day No one has needed Medical assistance after a match in a fake environment.

True. A games Art Or Story might Draw me to take a look but I have to say something of the fact that this is one of the few arenas where physical health or handicap is not an issue for competitors. Video Games Breaks that one barrier and many of us are not divided by what we can or can not do any longer.
Sounds Strange (Particularly if you hear some of the foul stuff mentioned in on-line matches. But still..)
But I still stand by my words.
Good Luck.

Good Luck To All.
I'm done. Stick a fork in me.
Peace.

Well, for me, I guess I like to play video games because when you have nothing to do at home, then video games would be the right solution for you. Also video games doesn't tire you out and you would do fun things that is not possible in real life. (depending on what video game you play).

 I like video games for a lot of different reasons, for the reasons they exist I think. They be an experience, an escape, an adventure, a complex narrative or an epic cinematic experience. The interactivity is amazing, I mean, we got to control and enjoy works of art. Or just silly, offbeat romps that make us chuckle. Video games are one of the great new forms of media, entertainment, even speaking platforms, art and social interaction, constantly changing and adapting to bring gamers closer and closer to the art, majesty and action of the games we play and experience and closer to each other.

when i play video games i imagine myself in a graphic world where i can do anything i want, go anywhere i want, and buy/sell anything i want( not drugs lol) when i start a fresh new video game ive never played i get a little bit excited about it. ive never played this before and i really want to beat this. when im really stressed i just want to play a video game lol. it helps me calm down and im that type of nerd =T lol. i started playing  games when i was 4 years old when the gameboy came out and i got pokemon silver. it was the best thing i ever got  and i loved it =)
