What's truly sad is this seems to be a very common problem for wives/girlfriends these days...far too many women are complaining that their men spend too much time with video games and are neglecting their flesh-and-blood women!!
Video games are fun - I like them myself. But there comes a point where it becomes more than just a fun activity, it becomes an "escape". It keeps their minds off the real world, with its problems and responsibilities. When men are spending the majority of their free time with video games and ignoring the women in their lives, there's an underlying problem there and the video games are their source of distraction.
Have you tried talking to your husband to find out what the REAL issue is? Is something at work bothering him? Is there a problem at home he's trying to avoid? It sounds like you need to find out what's bothering him, and work through it together.
Don't approach him in anger. But you need to talk to him.

And this is the reason why it's not always a good idea to buy video games for kids! More time in front of a Tv and less time with family is not a good idea. I suggest you make a plan for things that you can do together so that he is forewarned and has no excuse to not be with you. If he acts like a kid. treat him like one. Give him a timeout and lock the games away! Ask him who is more important to him, you or the games?

Men love video games lol they just do, so I suggest get a game you both like playing. I bought collumns & midnight club dub edition remix lol ( I love the soundtrack it's a car racing game) so anyway just play a few games with him & then let him play some on his own & agree on a time limit. I will ask my BF to pleas help me & i'll be like how much longer you think you will be...& then we try to compro mise on a time...so instead of fighting it all together try to accept it & work arround it. I am sure he doesnt love all of your habbits, like watching soap operas for example!
Merry Christmas (at least you will never run out of ideas for gifts there are too many games out there!)

Maybe your husband is just in need of some alone time. Suggest to him he should take a fishing trip or something with the boys to get him away from the pc. When he comes back start engaging him in some healthy sex life. Then ASK him to please limit his time on the pc to a couple nights a week. Find a TV program or a physical activity you both can do together on his "off" nights. This should help

So instead of womanizing, gambling, hanging out in the bars, and otherwise disappearing in the night, your husband is at home playing video games? Are you on some kind of medication, lady?
Count your blessings and leave the man alone!

Mine plays them for hours. It used to infuriate me. Then I thought about something. Hey, we aren't arguing unless I do it, I am not listening to him tell me his is bored or miserable with his life, he is happy playing his games. What is pissing me off about it so much then? I feel an obligation to clean and get things in an order that makes my brain feel good and I want him to help me with it. So, I realized what I really wanted was to enjoy myself so freely too. Now, I go find something to play with when he is playing, the house is not dirty but it is not perfect but we are both happy. If he gets hungry now, he cooks and when he needs something he gets it, when he isn't playing his game now he helps all around the place because I chilled out and allowed him to enjoy himself. I learned how to chill out and see that home life is the only place we can let go of the world and just enjoy ourselves, it isn't the place where chores rule. When I miss him enough I go sit with him while he plays, when i want him enough I suck him off and drag him away from the controller for sex, when I really need him to help with the house I ask him to help me then I let him go back to play. It works out if you chill out and work around it not try to take it away.

Is he depressed? A lot of guys become couch potatoes and video-game addicts because they are suffering from depression. You should get him in to see his doctor to discuss it. If that doesn't work, it's off to the old marriage counselor for both of ya!
