Are you a casual gamer...?

I think the biggest difference between hardcore and casual is the amount spent playing rather than which titles.

 you, my friend, have it right!

dictionary definitions:

  casual - irregular; occasional; without definite or serious intention

  hardcore -  unservingly committed; uncomromising; dedicated

games are not casual or hardcore, the people who play them are.  some titles certainly lend themselves to one group or the other (nintendogs comes to mind) but most games attract a mix of both casual and hardcore.
