To be honest with you, that's kinda like asking people "what should be my favorite ice cream flavor" because that is totally up to you. My suggestion is to look through the pictures people have posted of their rooms here (there's a thread) and go on google and do a search for either game rooms or man caves. You might find something you like.

We can show you where to find ideas but we can't tell you how to actually lay everything out because we all have different tastes. Trust me :)

I will add this however. Since you have all those consoles, consider getting an AV box that'll support all those consoles. That way you can switch them on the fly and not have to go behind your tv and unhook and rehook. they're essential for the multi console gamer and your most basic one would look like this

You take a room, then put games in it, and voila, you have a gameroom xD

Seriously though, you can't ask how to make a gameroom, all that matters is that you make it look as you want it.

Welcome To Warp Zone!

A game room is something that is going to be personal, and it's size and style are largely going to be based on how much space you have available and how much money and time you're willing to spend on it. However, you can take inspiration from lots of different people, and as such, you should utilize the resources you have at hand (forums, YouTube, google, etc). I'll get you started.

PGRF - Post Pictures of Your Game Room
PeteDorr - My Video Game Collection Tour
Nightram56 - New Collection Room Tour
Gamester81 - Updated Game Room Tour (HD)
L1Games - How to Build a Game Room (Playlist)

Everyone is going to have their own, unique look. You can go for a utilitarian design like Gamester81, or if you're looking for something sleek and modern you could make something like Muzz from L1Games. The best thing you could do now is build around what you have, and add more later. Empty space on the walls can be filled with posters, since they're generally cheap for the space they take up. Not everyone has to have a TON of stuff like a few of the people above. The right spacing and display can turn less into more. Just rearrange your space a few times and I'm sure you'll find something you like.

Thanks for the help but where do I buy posters? All of the ones I have came with the game (Mafia 2, Bully, and GTA's) And for buying and AV Box I already have one. :) So my real question should be what do I Add to make my room more of a game room?

I don't know if you've seen it yet, but there's a great thread going on right now on the forums that could help you get started:

Post pictures of your gameroom!

From personal experience, you can never have enough shelving, and to fill up said shelving, you can't beat Craigslist or your local thrift stores.

Have fun!
