I am a Brit who's a recent graduate.  I would not call myself a prolific gamer but have always been interested in computer games and have probably watching other people playing more games than I have played myself.  I have never owned a games console, though have played on those owned by friends many times.  I've played more AAA games in the last few years and particularly like to be drawn in to a really believable and engrossing single-player experience and world.  I dislike overtly horror elements in games and prefer realistic gameplay types.

I've got a good group of people who I lived with at uni and with whom I still like to play online.  Games we've played together include titles like: Rainbow Six, Team Fortress 2, Trackmania and the Left 4 Dead games.
