ermm you do just realise you called smash bros and guitar hero casual games? despite them both being generally known as hardcore games (smash bros with multiplayer and GH in hard/expert modes)

a game having a theme aimed at teenagers doesnt make it hardcore anyway :P

thats like saying any game with “cute” graphics is for kids/casual gamers :P

I feel good to know that the casual gamer has overtaken the hard core gamer,at least it would mean less violence and the likes.

COD4 got my attention and here is why. War is hell, but unless you experience it, there’s no way you can ever know if this statement is truth or hypercrap. If war is anything like what is experienced in Call of Duty 4: Modern then war is worse than hell. The long-awaited COD4, the true IW follow-up to the excellent Call of Duty 2,is a jarring, intense, and gripping take on war in the new millennia. The enemies are smarter, the weapons are deadlier, and there are far too many grenades and RPGs. COD4 will shake loose your fillings and have you begging for more. I did!
Thanks for sharing

I see that gaming industry is really big and growing yearly.

It is just sad that some firms dominate the market and independent creators are left out. If you do not have money, you do not have marketing and there is no financial succes.

The video game industry has really grown to new heights that I never thought possible, especially in the last five years. I have seen stories of everyone from little kids to senior citizens getting really into gaming now, especially with the Wii coming to the forefront and providing some physical activity for parents who were concerned about their children's sedentary lifestyle or for seniors or need to be more active. I consider myself a casual gamer, but if there is any game I am a hardcore follower of it's the Madden series. I think there is a lot to be said for the sports fans who play video games but aren't really hardcore gamers. They really push the Madden and NCAA games into the top ten sellers list.
