I like to play video games. I used to play them on various gaming platforms, but eventually moved to personal computer. Now I mostly play PC games. From time to time I ask myself:

• How much time have I spent on a particular video game title?
  
• What PC game had taken the largest period of my lifetime?
  
• What distance have I covered with my mouse playing my favourite strategy or quest?
  
• How many joystick buttons have I pressed playing my favourite fighting game?
  
• How have my gaming activity changed in the course of year?

A few game titles give us their completion statistics. But, as a rule, it includes only clean, not total, gameplay time. At the same time, we sometimes replay really difficult game levels for hours, don't we?

So why don't we log our own gameplay time statistics? It will show us later how we waste our precious lives. Sadly, I haven't found suitable gameplay tracking software on the net.

Being not only a gamer but a software developer, I decided to create such an application by myself. In no time it was made. Since that moment I collect my gameplay time stats. I find this program useful and I hope you will do too. So I want to share my Gameplay Time Tracker with you.

Who will benefit from this program?<p class="BlockContents1">

• Amateur players, who want to know on what video game they are wasting their lives
  
• Hardcore gamers, eager to compare their walkthrough times of difficult games with others
  
• Parents of young players, willing to control time spent by their children on PC games
  
• Users of Steam™, Raptr™ or Xfire™ services, who want to get similar functionality for almost any game without Internet connection
