Any game that a player takes seriously and attempts to master is a hardcore game to that person, and any game that someone cruises through is a casual game for that person. Devil may cry 4 is hardcore if you go for the highest rankings on the highest settings. It is casual if you play on easy and maybe don't even finish the game. Cooking Mama or Carnival Games may be casual if you play them without caring about your performances. If you attempt to go for the highest scores or achieve special accomplishments, then they are hardcore. There are no hardcore and casual games and I think it is time that this fanboy discussion stops spreading around the internet and gaming magazines (game informer is the guiltiest). As I wrote in an earlier thread, all this talk about hardcore and casual games is idiotic.
