Men Hate to Admit to Casual Gaming
Mon 21 Jan 2008 – 17.01
Casual Gaming? No, that’s not a euphemism for butt-sex, it’s playing those “little” video games that take up just a bit of time here and there. Tetris, Bejeweled, etc. are common examples.
Traditional says that these games are mainly for ladies, and men prefer to tackle “real” games like Hal or Tomb Raider. But as it happens, men play ‘em too, but hate to admit to it. The news comes from GamePolitics.com.
What’s your stance on casual gaming? Personally, I admit to being a Tetris junkie just as bad as anyone else — male or female. There was a time when I would play Solitaire for speed, throwing in a quick game here and there, but these days there are thousands upon thousand of Flash games on the web to choose from. Here are a few of my favs:
Desktop Tower Defense
Solitaire
Pillage the Village
Chaos Theory
Bloons
