• Our survey was a brief questionnaire on what
  people do, and think about videogames.

3

• Several of the Questions we asked were
• What school do you belong to in Pace?
• What kind of games do you play?
• How many hours do you play?
• How much money did you spend on videogames in
  2005
• Have you subscribed to any MMORPGS?
• Has gaming influenced your social-life?
• Does society have a bad view on videogames?
• Do you think games influence childrens
  development
• Which form of entertainment provides the most fun
  for you?

4

• We were able to get information from 25 people
  for our survey.
• 14 males with an average age of 21
• 11 females with an average age of 20

5

• Out of the 25 people, several were from different
  schools.
• Dyson 9 (36)
• CSIS 10 (44)
• Business 4 (16)
• Education 1 (4)

6

• According to our survey most of the people that
  play games here at PACE come from the CSIS or the
  Dyson schools.

7

• Our second question was what type of games do
  most people play?

8

• According to the graph and our survey, men and
  women enjoy different types of games.
• Men prefer role-playing, sports, and strategy
  games, while women prefer adventure and other
  types of games.
• However both men and women almost seem equal when
  it comes to action games.

9

• In total out of the 25 people
• - 13 of 25 play action games
• 4 of 25 play adventure games
• 15 of 25 play role-playing games
• 7 of 25 play sports games
• 8 of 25 play strategy games
• 5 of 25 play other types of games

10

• How many hours people spend playing videogames in
  a week

11

• What we found out was that most people spend
  around 10-15 hours a week playing videogames, and
  others spend around 4-8 hours playing.
• Very few spend over 25 hours a week playing
  videogames.

12

• How much people spent on videogames in 2005

13

• Here it is visible that people spend 50 or less
  on videogames on average.
• It can also be said that men spend more money on
  videogames than women do.

14

• How many subscribe or plan to subscribe to a
  MMORPG

15

• Because MMORPGs like Everquest are usually not
  free, and require a subscription fee, it is not
  surprising that most of the people checked no.

16

• Has videogames influenced social-lives?

17

• According to the graph most people believe on
  some scale that videogames influence their social
  lives, or not at all.
• It is also surprising that men or the most to
  agree, and women are the most to stay neutral on
  the subject.

18

• Does society have a bad perception on videogames?

19

• This is controversial today.
• On the 25 people that we surveyed most agree that
  society has a bad perception about videogames,
  though if more people were surveyed it might very
  well be even between agree, or disagree.

20

• Do games influence childrens development?

21

• This question is also very controversial .
• Most agree that videogames have an influence on
  childrens development.
• Whether they do or not is yet to be proven beyond
  a doubt, but it would not be a surprise if it was
  proven.

22

• Which type of entertainment provides the most fun?

23

• For the most fun men and women are different on
  the issue.
• According to the graph men think videogames are
  the most enjoyable, while women seem to like
  music and reading just a little bit above
  videogames.
