I don't get it. A lot of movie/tv/book tie-ins also fall into legit genres. The only thing casual about them is the developer's approach to quality. ZING!
I always kinda thought that casual games were ones you could pick up w/o ANY learning curve (pacman, space invaders) to games you can just pick up and play a few rounds and be done (fighting games, old platformers). But I guess the definition has changed.
I hate to support Nintendo in some of their odd 'game' decisions, but I figure, they are trying to make the DS a multi-functional device or at least, make it an educational toy moreso than what the PSP could be.
Let's face it, the consoles and handhelds (and even phones) want to be more than they are. The PS3 as a central entertainment hub doesn't mention games at the forefront. The WII was like... A game console but it lacks the games to make it ultra cool (imo).
I'm a woman, and those games designed "just for girls" were a complete insult!! I will NEVER touch a game with the word "Barbie" in the title. And why are there so many freakin' games about *shudder* BABIES?? I have a message to all girls out there who think babies are fun and cute and want to have a baby. YOU ARE WRONG!!! Babies are NOT cute when they are PUKING all over you, SCREECHING at 2 in the morning, and filling their diapers with FECES!!! The game companies are stupid, sexist pigs.>:(
LOL @ career advice for girls. Girly girls. I wonder if there will be this huge epidemic of teen pregnancies, and they'll say that Babiez made them do it? Leavemealone, game companies are just trying to reinforce stereotypes the entire world has regarding young women. Parents see this game when shopping for their kids and pick it up because it probably reinforces what they want their daughter to be. Don't worry, you're not the first woman to be disgusted by those games.
Great vid! I can now say that casual games are the worst things in gaming rightnow. And wtf is up with that part showing the career advice games for girls, I was wondering when it was going to stop, my eyes were starting to burn
LOL at the people from Today playing Livin on a Prayer
Also, Guitar Hero/Rockband isn't for people who can't play games. If it was, It would be more "family friendly" in their song choices (ignore the new Spongsbob songs available for DLC)
Is it me or were there about 20 baby games in this? Stupid casual gamers you cant simulate a baby without poo, I sugest you go and jump in a portipoty while we push it down a hill
