Yes, there are those who still hate animated adventures, but these are typically the same people who spend hours with their eyes glazed over watching TV.<br \/>\nSo, video games, at least in some form and fashion, are here to stay. We\u2019re glad, because most of the Movoto bloggers play some sort of digital games. (Right now, yours truly is crushing on Temple Run 2.)<br \/>\nOur video game habits, in fact, are a regular discussion around our water cooler\u2014or the closest thing we have to a water cooler in our tech-friendly, casual vibe office. Hell, one of us is getting a Triforce tattoo in April, so we feel we are pretty comfortable talking about video games.<br \/>\nOne thing that has come up on a regular basis in our smack-talking sessions is if San Francisco, Movoto\u2019s home base, is a good city for gamers. Of course, we think it is. But we live here. We\u2019re biased. Deal with it.<br \/>\nOne thing led to another, and we decided to actually figure out what city is the best for video gamers.<br \/>\nWhat\u2019d we find?<br \/>\nIt\u2019s Atlanta, of course. Like we all didn\u2019t see that coming. (No, really. When we\u2019re thinking of gamin\u2019, Atlanta is nowhere near the mark\u2014unless you count video slot machines. We\u2019re down with video slot machines.)<br \/>\nHere\u2019s our full list of top gamer cities:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/property\/ga\/atlanta.html\">Atlanta, GA<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/property\/wa\/seattle.html\">Seattle, WA<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/property\/co\/denver.html\">Denver, CO<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/property\/or\/portland.html\">Portland, OR<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/real-estate\/homes-for-sale\/san-francisco.html\">San Francisco, CA<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/real-estate\/homes-for-sale\/long-beach.html\">Long Beach, CA<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/real-estate\/homes-for-sale\/sacramento.html\">Sacramento, CA<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/property\/az\/mesa.html\">Mesa, AZ<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Kansas City, MO<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/real-estate\/homes-for-sale\/san-jose.html\">San Jose, CA<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Don\u2019t believe us? Like all the best strategy games, we have the stats to prove it.<\/p>\n<h2>How\u2019d We Do It?<\/h2>\n<p>Before we could celebrate saving the princess, we first needed an idea of what makes a city great for video gamers. It turns out that this question is harder to answer than trying to take down Onyxia in Vanilla WoW. (Freaking whelps!)<br \/>\nWhy? The definition of a \u201cgamer\u201d is all over the place. There are casual gamers, hardcore gamers, PC and console gamers, and, lest you forget, smartphone-tapping gamers.<br \/>\nIn fact, a recent study found that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/2012\/09\/08\/where-have-all-the-gamers-gone\">211 million people in the United States play some type of video games<\/a>.<br \/>\nWith this in mind, we decided to include everyone in our definition, and then brainstormed the types of things people need to have a good gaming experience. This led us to these five categories:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Arcades per person<\/li>\n<li>Internet service providers per person<\/li>\n<li>Game stores per person<\/li>\n<li>A city\u2019s demographics<\/li>\n<li>Membership in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theeca.com\/\">Entertainment Consumers Association<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Like our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/top-ten\/least-hipster-cities\/\">previous analyses of cities<\/a>, we ranked each cosmo and then took the average score of our five criteria. The city with the lowest score (it\u2019s like Wii golf, duh), in this case Atlanta, took home the top prize as most video game\u2013friendly city.<\/p>\n<h2>If You Never Played X-Men in an Arcade, Go Home<\/h2>\n<p><div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/jimsheaffer\/8525775056\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Classic Video Game\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/03\/images\/joysticks+by+jimsheaffer.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"330\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Via Flickr user Jimsheaffer<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nTake a moment to lament the death of America\u2019s arcades; once, these loud fun houses filled America\u2019s strip-mall landscape. Now they\u2019re all but gone, and so is a piece of our childhood. Yes, there are large sanitized arcades that still exist such as Dave and Buster\u2019s, but these just don\u2019t have the same appeal as a grimy hole-in-the-wall that took actual quarters.<br \/>\nWe picked arcades because there is a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_King_of_Kong:_A_Fistful_of_Quarters\">thriving community of gamers<\/a> who still flock to these diamond-in-the-rough establishments. If there\u2019s an arcade, and we mean a good arcade, in your area, chances are there will be a group of gamers ready to grab a joystick and button mash.<br \/>\nWe used Yelp to figure out the number of arcades in each city.<\/p>\n<h2>Game Stores<\/h2>\n<p>This should be a no-brainer. Gamers need video games and video game accessories. (This sentence should be read in Hank Hill\u2019s voice. Get with the program people.)<br \/>\nWe used Yelp to find the number of video game establishments in a city. Think Gamestop and your local mom-and-pop stores.<\/p>\n<h2>Demographics<\/h2>\n<p>Not everyone enjoys the rush of gathering 25 random people together to destroy an undead king made of pixels. But we have a strong idea of who plays video games. And no, it isn\u2019t just guys living in their mom\u2019s basement or crashing on their friend\u2019s couch.<br \/>\nAccording to the Entertainment Software Association, the average video game player is 30 years old and male. (Maybe ESA ignored all the 13-year-old kids playing shooters.) We weren\u2019t entirely surprised by these figures, but we were surprised by some stats when we dug into the research.<br \/>\nIt turns out that 53 percent of gamers are male. By default 47 percent are female. And no, the ladies aren\u2019t just playing \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.hellokittyonline.com\/\">Hello Kitty\u2019s Island Adventure<\/a>.\u201d Take that, stereotypes!<br \/>\nTo come up with this figure, we looked at the demographics of each city and found the percentage of the population between 18 and 34 years old.<\/p>\n<h2>Entertainment Consumer Association<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s not all about playing games. Sometimes it\u2019s about defending your favorite game. This is where the Entertainment Consumer Association comes in. ECA is a not-for-profit organization that helps consumers in the United States and Canada advocate for a wide variety of gaming issues.<br \/>\nWhile not having an ECA chapter in your community probably won\u2019t hurt you, we did give a slight bump to those cities with an existing ECA chapter, or one close-by. For example, in San Francisco\u2019s case there is a chapter around the corner in Emeryville.<\/p>\n<h2>Internet Service Providers<\/h2>\n<p>We hate lag. We, hate, hate, hate lag. But we love the Internet\u2014probably more than we love our moms. And there can be no Internet without lag.<br \/>\nWe chose Internet service providers because social gaming is a big deal. Running around shooting your friends is what makes most games fun.<br \/>\nWe looked at Yelp and figured out the number of Internet service providers per person in each city. We wanted to make sure our hardcore gamers had a choice of which Internet company to use when looking to frag some pals.<\/p>\n<h2>Atlanta is Better than Seattle<\/h2>\n<p>After the scores were tallied, Atlanta came out on top. Just stick with your hipsters, Seattle. Atlanta gamers, feel free to start tea-bagging.<\/p>\n<hr style=\"color: #000;background-color: #000;height: 3px\" \/>\n<em>The Movoto blog is a service of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\">Movoto Real Estate<\/a>.
