What! There are more types of gamers than Hardcore and Casual!!!! Well, what does Hardcore mean anyway? Is it just Gamers who play testosterone-driven fps’s? Or is it the freak who plays any and everything he can get his hands on…  Well it seems this researcher has came up with more detailed and perhaps more accurate categories…

Who would’ve known!?!?!? 

I don’t know if this is PS3 or Arcade footage…

WCCF is one of the satellite games released in Jp and also, i think, recently in europe by Sega. The cabinets have a soccer field where you place collectible player cards, the machine then reads those cards and puts those players on the team in the game. You can reposition the cards to change their location. Some players get bonuses for being on certain areas on the field.

Thanks to the folks at Shoot the Core. 

D3 Simple series are worth mentioning because they are budget price titles that sometimes have the fun factor (or more) of more expensive titles… Two of the stand-out titles from their portfolio are making appearences on the 360 (which means there may be a good chance of them coming to the states… since the 360 customer base barely exists in Jp)…

Oneechanbara vorTex (Xbox360) - this game (the third in the series) features a bikini clad woman that does battle against endless waves of zombies. There is a great blood-overdrive system that will keep you playing for hours on end. A great example of game that has just the right amount of mechanics. Fun stuff and the 360 version looks to be even more of the same - which is not a bad thing.
