my mom is a casual/wii fitness gamer. but my dad will go out and stand in midnight lines for his shooters. he took my ten-year-old brother to the black ops launch, and then they stayed up playing until about five. he's a bit hardcore. only shooters, though, and i have no idea why.
My mother plays Mafia Wars, and she pre-ordered Pokemon Black for herself. I taught her everything she knows.
Nope, i used to play sometimes whit my dad on ps1 when i was kid, these days i have only seen them play singin-games when they are really drunk. It's priceless.
My Stepdads Unreal Tournament team was the 3rd best in the world at one point, gaming at 30 latency from a sick connection. And yes this is the original Unreal Tournament the good one released back in 1999.
My Dad was a casual gamer, he used to play "game games", like Pool, Chess, Scrabble and some kind primitive Settler's type game.
I remember sometimes he used to come into my room at night and play Arcade Pool on my Amiga when he couldn't sleep.
He also made the first games I ever played, programming them on our old Spectrum way back in the early 80's, and he was the driving force behind our family owning computers. He bought the latest models of Spectrum when they were released because he wanted them and wanted to keep up with the market. He also acquired a lot of games for me and built up quite a library of games, so he's responsible for me becoming the gamers I am now.
My Mum on the other hand, isn't into games at all, but it is amusing handing her a controller and watching her try to play a driving game like Forza.

My mom is all about Bejeweled 3 and Mahjong. My brothers and I got our dad hooked on World of Warcraft, which is hilarious. None of us play anymore but he's still out there grinding.
My Dad has been playing Unreal Tournament '99 off and on since it's release. My mom played Prototype once, if that counts.
