Casual gamers are people who enjoy playing games, for a long period, that never looks at the gameplay and graphics.
Hardcore gamers, drool on whatever looks the biz, and are known as computer geeks. But who's a casual gamer, who likes a game of Metropolis Street Racer who thinks it's fun and looks good, and a Hardcore gamer, who looks at it and says, it looks good but it's nothing special!

I'm a casual gamer, i love games, all sorts of games but i hate beat em' ups the most because i always get confused with controls.....and i always lose!
Give me a Mario, Deus Ex or Final Fantasy and i'll get right into the game, without pointing out graphical hitches, except when i know a games been copied off another!

I think most of us are hardcore according to the Merriam-Webster online dictionary....

I'm not sure what I am.


Gamer wise now. I know what you're thinking...

You see, I try not to be a geek, but I'm always looking for news on games and stuff. However, I don't say a game is rubbish by just looking at it.

(Yes you do. Only the other day you said Fantasvision looked rubbish, only braindead freaks would buy it, and Sony are sh**e at making games and are more like S Club 7 than Lucasarts when it comes to making games.)


...Shut up.

One thing I don't normally have trouble with are controls, I actually used to turn my megadrive controller upside-down when I was playing Street Fighter 2 to make it harder...

King of Street Fighter 2, I was. No-one could beat me.
