I totally stole this from a friend. The results of a survey that classifys gamer types. I can't really tell if I'm surprised by the results or not. Take a look. http://www.parksassociates.com/press/press_releases/2006/gaming_pr4.html
I like the different classifications. ITs probably a little complex for casual conversation though. I'm definately a dormant gamer...
Interesting. My next game is going to be a cross between a board game and a normal computer game. I wonder if this will attract occasional gamers? Has anyone here made a board game for the computer? Was it well recieved? EDIT: I don't see my group anywhere. The I don't play games anymore, but I would if they made ones I liked group.
Not sure, but Microsoft recently claimed to be doing XBLA board games (Settlers of Catan), and the Samurai game from a few years back was awesome.
Yeah, Microsoft soon will release Xbox Live versions of Settlers of Catan, Carcassonne and Alhambra, and let me tell you, they look gorgeous.
