Tell him you need to talk to him about something serious regarding your relationship, and then sit down and tell him exactly how you feel. It is the only way to do it.

Hi just tell him the truth, The computer console in not going any where and he can go back on his game when he has finished your meal. Its not like your asking him to do something horrid. Just be honest with him. I know what men are like with there computer games but the best thing to do it if you are planning a meal for you both to sit down to eat as a family. Just tell him he will have to go on the video game after dinner because you can guarantee that if he goes on it before dinner he will never get of it. 1 time a week isnt much to ask. I dont think he will mind. If he throws a strop when hes not looking hide the games console then he might listen to you.

Your husbands own self-control is the only thing that will get him to put the game down.
Let him know in advance what day you want to have family dinner and make sure he agrees to it. Give him a reminder so he knows what day it is.
Although your husband plays video games, he is technically not a child. Expecting him to sit down to dinner is reasonable, but you cannot just order him around.

OMG! I have the same problem with my husband and I have no idea what to do about it either. I want to just take the stupid game system and hide actually thats what I'm going to do, he's at work right now so I will hide it and talk to him about how I feel like he spends more time on the game than with me and I will let you know how it turns out... good luck in the mean time :)

Does he go to work? Do you have kids? If these are 'yes', then you can wait for him to leave and then you hide the games. (Dont mess it up though).when he gets back, talk to him as grown up to grown up. If you have tried that, then call his parents over for dinner dont tell them about it until they get home. Then let it out when they are close. As for counselling, not a good idea.

if he doesn't come to the table to eat throw it out i have no clue as to why men get so involved with games but when it is messing with the family sit down i would have a long talk with him and if it doesn't work throw his food out don't save it until its convent for him.

Take it away and then talk to him about the issue. Counseling sometimes helps, as he may need it.
