Nobody's arguing that point, as such (or at least, I'm not- and that's mostly because it's a conclusion that most of us accepted about four years ago. Welcome to the party.), but that it's the same article again. Look- here is the exact same article...

^this. I'll admit that I'm only on here from time to time, but it seems there's always some article on the front page (Usually in the regular columns, rather than the magazine issues) about how amazing casual games/gamers are, and how rubbish core games/gamers are and that casual games are...

In response to the OP For one major reason, and one major reason alone: Because people want to sound cool by hating on the popular thing. There's minor reasons, though, and one of them are that it's because people tend to think it's nothing more than: a view held exclusively by people...

No it isn't, it's entirely different- we've got a good reason to disagree with them, and it's that they very clearly have no knowledge on the subject that they're discussing, and have even more clearly made no attempt to research into it, and this taints everything else they have to say- they're...

This is nearly what I was going to say, so I'm going to quote it and ride on its coat-tails. And now, exactly what I was going to say: I'm wondering if it's because we haven't really come up with a 'proper' name for the genre beyond "third-person brawler" which is very broad and doesn't...

But hopefully not tie it down with The World's Most Arse Backwards DRM. Also: parklife!

There's some decent content on it. Most notably that in the absence of a Hulu here in the UK (broadcasters can't come to any agreement to launch the service proper, and the regulator stomped on them collectively doing their own- the closest we have now is a gimped version someone else is...

It might be very telling that both of those do most of their work in the UK.

Anything that's little more than "Here is something, it is shit, lol." There's acerbic humour (Step forward, the vast majority of ZP), playing on absurdities and so on, and then there's knocking something to play to a base.

Isn't this whole thing just "reviews"? As such, doesn't it just self-regulate when one media outlet praises a game while the next pans it? Maybe some of your categorisations are better served than others, I grant you, but that's more to do with the markets beyond "Juniors" and "Students" still...

This, but also the associated counterargument of auto-referring to anyone who dares say anything negative about a casual game as elitist. Eurogamer article comments, I'm looking at YOU.

Multiplayer achievements *slap* Online multiplayer, but no splitscreen *slap*

Quake Live, partially for the wow factor of seeing a game I remember being the sort of thing you'd buy a new PC for running in a browser, partially for it being old-school deathmatch- none of your tactical team-based only-two-weapons hyperrealistic regenerating health Call of Gears Strike Six...

Because we a/ haven't all played God Of War, and b/ might prefer the aesthetics of Dante over those of God?

Loved it. Let down only by its (few) combat sections, more due to their existance than their execution, however.
