I used to play MMOs a lot but they put a lot of strain on my relationship because they require so much time ingame in order to be competitive. Now that I'm married, I play a lot of PS3 games since I can put in as much or as little as I want and my husband enjoys the games as well. (he hates MMOs)
It's the same for me , when i met my girlfriend i let her know that i was a gamer and that it is my main hobby , she didn't mind since she plays games at well ( shes a casual gamer but not in the sense she plays bejewled but in the sense she plays games for like a hour and gets bored and never finishes a game ever ). So me spending the day playing games doesn't bother her , i just gotta remeber to talk to her some . She would often lie on my lap while i play games . She watched me play catherine from start to finish . My girlfriend is awsome 
Love doesn't affect my gaming life. Gaming does affect my love life, as it doesn't exist and it probably shouldn't.
I play less now, because I tend to go out more with my girlfriend or because I talk to her on facebook a lot, and it's kinda difficult to game and chat on facebook at the same time. She's not really a gamer though she does from time to time play games (Dragon Age: Origins and The Sims mostly).
Gaming is an integral part of who I am, so no, I stay the same, because every girl who wants to be with me knows this and has come to terms with it. Also since I refuse to give up certain things, like gaming, I don't have to change how I game.
It's the difference between BEING happy, and pretending to be happy.

Ha. I WISH love affected my gaming life. That would mean that I had someone who actually loved me (no, parents and family don't count). That would be awesome. Other people's love affects my gaming life, as in I have to wait till after 11 p.m. because my friends' wives are still up til then, and before that time they spend time with their wives. As they should.
I give a lot of time towards my relationship now, but I've always had a surplus of free time. We try to balance it out and give each other time alone when we need it, so I still play games just as much.
I go for different games.
Before my current relationship, I was quite happy playing Zelda, Pokemon and RPGs like Final Fantasy. All good games, but my taste was rather limited! Now, I seek out the best FPS like Portal 2, Half Life 2, and Halo Reach; my list of games to play has extended greatly to games like Bioshock, Metal Gear Solid, and Knights of the Old Republic.
(I still need to play more HL2... )

currently, no difference, since i only have the game life.
when i also had a love life, the difference was that i might play other games if my better half happened to have games at their place i hadnt tried yet.

My fiancee and I are both gamers. The big difference in our tastes is that while we like many of the same titles she's an action gamer whereas I prefer RPGs, strategy, and stealth. Also, she won't touch MMOs. Other than that though, everything in our gaming library (yes it is one big collection, see spoiler for tale) has been played to death by both of us.
Basically, since I have wii and ps3 and she has ps2, classic consoles and a bunch of portables, but we really like games from each other's systems, we swap systems occasionally. So half the time I have "my" games, and half the time I have "hers." We swap consoles every couple months. While we each bought our own consoles, technically we agree to co-own them even though we aren't married yet. It helps keep our games feeling fresh, and makes us not always go to the same apartment everytime if we want to play games together. Changing scenery is nice.
