I have been playing games for over 20 years now, i have a library of games that is well over 300 on all consoles and currently own 15 on Wii, not to mention 30 virtual console games. I have a Nintendo bias but enjoy games on all systems (i own 2, housemate owns PS3) Yet anytime anyone makes a list describing what a casual gamer is, i can see lots of things that cover me in there. It makes me wonder "am i a casual gamer?". I love my intense "hardcore" games yet am looking forward to Wii Fit etc. How do you determine hardcore or casual these days? In my eyes, you cant, you either play games for the sheer enjoyment and play many varying types (i.e what i see as a casual gamer) which in turn leads to a greater knowledge of games or you distance yourself from certain types and dont play them because they are more casually orientated, which seems to me to be arrogance and thus can only allow you to ever reach a select amount of knowledge in gaming. What i am, i don't know. What you are and what you think is interesting.
