Introductions
I come to you now with an important question. Are you a gamer of the hardcore variety or the casual?
You see this is an important question. Not only will it show us your preference in terms of games, but it’ll also show us if you’re in the majority or the minority. You see gaming as a whole has come a long way in our culture. No longer is it seen as a geeky past time made to rot your brains and stop you from going outside, instead they now train your brain or teach you how to cook. No longer are developers of these games seen as obscure overweight bearded men huddled together in a dark room doing some crazy mumbo jumbo, but instead we have youthful developers who are portrayed as the rock stars of our culture. No longer is it the elite few who partake in there wonder, able to communicate to each other at social gatherings and talk about there triumphs and failures in the latest release. These few are now many.
With the recent advent of console popularity amongst the general public it became inevitable that some aspects of gaming culture would be absorbed into the mass media and gaming as a lifestyle would slowly lose its soul. You now see gaming culture referenced in television, music and movies. And with this massive saturation, will it become inevitable that we will all start to lose interest in the whole thing? I hope not but I’m starting to see it happen.
Now some of you may be saying to yourself, “But I’m a “console name” player and we got games like “list of games”.” Now let me share with you a little fact of business. If you can produce a product cheaply and quickly, and still be able to sell it at the price of your previous products you’re going to make them cheap. And this is a trend that Microsoft and Sony are starting to adopt after the massive popularity of the Wii, a console which both companies had dismissed as any sort of serious competition, which now wipes the floor with them in sales on a daily bases. Do you think it will be long before Gears Party 3 : Locust Makeover or HaloKart comes out? Then when will it stop?
Hardcore gaming seems to be dyeing out. With games now being designed to appeal to the masses and as such being dumbed down tremendously pretty soon the hardcore market will die out. And with that, the two and a half men’s of the gaming world will take over and gaming’s glory days will be filed away for the historians of tomorrow to ponder and discus.

Re: Introductions
Good evening gen thread welcome to the brumland forum i am my self a hardcore gamer myself i own every console that is out at the moment but use the xbox 360 more than any of the others the games i am playing at the moment is need for speed hot pursuit...
Introductions
Dudes, as requested "I'm doing my part for the corps" sign up today for the mobile infantry... do you want to know more?
The site looks the part and navigation is really easy well done!
Casual gaming is my area as time is always limited, but at the moment it seems to be more availible.
Driving games like F1 2010 really float my boat, and hopefully when the money comes in i can get my hands on NFS:HP.
Currently playing COD:Black Ops which has a rare thing of combat training which allows you to play the game in your fashion without the usual unrelentless sheep tactics used by younger gamers online.
Hopefully as like minded gamers i will see you soon "on the dance floor"!

Welcome Faceman
Welcome to the site Face man, and your introduction.
As for advice....pull on your thick skin and wade through the experience that is xbox live.
have a scan through our gallery on the main site it has all the games listed and each one links to gamespot, where you can find news, reviews and hints on all the games we currently have and if you get one off santa thats not listed then let us know in the gallery thread [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and i'll be happy to name and shame.
See you on the battlefield
