    When you do guys play games?

    I have a 360 with a number of great games but with work being so manic at the moment I'm finding it hard to find 30 minutes to sit down and play something unless I stay up to a stupid hour.

    When you do play your consoles/PC games and how do you deal with partners

    7am till 8-10am depending on when/if I need to head out, and then normally a couple of hours later in the day, sometime between 4pm and 1am.

    Only PC games, and usually online gaming in the form of a game/mod using Steam. Nice and easy to fire it up, play a few rounds, and get back to work

    For pleasure - in the evenings, but then it's usually a game I'm reviewing or previewing anyway. I've really cut down on social gaming because I'm just too busy.

    Currently playing Paraworld, Warhammer : MOC on PC, Scarface PS2, but haven't really played much 360 stuff. That will change with Pro Evo, GOW, RB6: Vegas, COD3 coming out. Plan to get back into the Xbox live side of things over Christmas.

    Girlfriend used to go mad at me spending so much time gaming, but now it's my job she doesn't mind and understands.

    Anytime really when I can be bothered.

    Usually on the xbox360 8-10 but sometimes I've been on till 8am the next morning ( DAMN THAT DEAD RISING )

    I've not been bothering with that much gaming at the moment though, I've been playing the odd game here and there but TGPGA 06 has taken too much time up.
