What type of gamer are you?

Agreed. My wii is chock full of SNES and NES games (and a few Genesis games). Who needs super duper graphics anyways?

Now that I think about it... I'm a bit of all the options. I can be a casual, laid back gamer... like when I'm playing Guitar Hero or something similar. I love old school games, and when I feel like it I can go hardcore and play a full night of games. Heck, not long ago me and a few buddies played Borderlands all night... booyah!

seeing that i play WoW, i had no choice but to answer as a hardcore gamer on the poll

I'm casual

I'm not sure what I am. Probably a mix. I sometimes enjoy retro games, like Super Metroid and Super Mario World, as well as simple casual games, liike Bejeweled and Tetris. I play some strategy games, particularly Digimon Digital Card Battle and Portal, and some more complicated games, like Metroid Prime and Half-Life 2. I don't really care if the game is 2D or 3D. I'm not really picky on those details, nor am I picky on what home console the game is on. Only time I may have a problem is if the game is on a console I don't own (I don't own X-Box 360 yet although I have the Wii and Playstation 3), if it needs a powerful computer to run (although this computer has better specs than the previous one I've used, it has a weak Intel graphics chip), or if it's on a handheld. I don't own one myself, but my brother does. I don't like playing on handhelds because I find it hard to see the screen. I was trying to play one of those Digimon Battle Spirit games on Gameboy Advance I believe and I was having a hard time seeing my character, the ground, anything, due to light glare on the screen.

If I'd have to pick one from the list, I'd probably say Hardcore gamer best describes me. I play games for the challenege, I don't cheat and I always look to clear a game as close to 100% as I can. I'm a huge fan of co-op player games whereby 2 (or more) human players team up against bots or in a co-op campaign so games like Resident Evil 5 are right up my street. I play competitively sometimes e.g COD4, Killzone 2 etc. but I prefer to work together with someone than against them. Even in competitive modes, I always pick team deathmatches rather than solo matches.

I have to say I also mix with the retro category coz I love old school games like Mario, Sonic, Donkey Kong Country etc. My Wii is stocked full of classic old school games! Almost got an SD card full of just games! I still also play my old consoles and relive the golden days of gaming They made modern gaming what it is today.

Causal, but I do play some games that I just can never get done.
