The 2012 ISFE Video Games in Europe Consumer Study shows that a surprisingly wide range of ages play games: 40% of the UK population in fact, of which 24% play at least weekly. This picture is brought into greater focus by last yearâs government briefing, How Healthy Behaviour Supports Childrenâs Wellbeing. It states that in England, video games were played for two hours or more a day by 55% of boys and 20% of girls in 2010.
