Also as a side experiment for those interested, I would like you to simply answer casual or hardcore for the following games (or game series):

Mario (platformers)
Zelda
Halo
Grand Theft Auto

Call of Duty
Mario Kart
Madden
Uncharted
Street Fighter
Final Fantasy
Monster Hunter
Smash Bros.
Guitar Hero/Rock Band
Gears of War

To give a serious answer to this, I believe that all of the games listed above could be considered either with the exception of Monster Hunter.  The only reason that I would classify Monster Hunter as an all out "hardcore" game is because you have to put forth a lot of hours and effort to get anywhere in the game. 

The other games can be enjoyed a lot by someone that plays them for only once and for short period of time, but all of the above would take a borderline maniac to master.

Examples: 

- I knew a guy that would not consider Guitar Hero to be completed unless he got 100% on every song on every difficulty.  That's pretty hardcore.

- Getting a 9999 VR or a three star ranking in Mario Kart is pretty hardcore.

-  Beating Super Smash Bros Brawl's Boss Battle mode on intense is another insane thing to do.
