Great game it's fun to watch and to play! So much to explore and to do I will easily get 60 hours out of this game. Get it!

I would agree that a better term would be hardcore games and casual games, more so than mature or immature. Personally I consider myself a casual hardcore gamer in that I love games, and don't know that I would say I am a fan of one company more than the other, but being I have been playing Nintendo since I was a kid Nintendo always wins my nostalgic vote. But currently I have Wii U, 3DS XL, PS3, Vita, Xbox 360, and an iPad. So I bounce from system to system currently with Wii U being the newest if a game I want comes out on it that will be system of choice. And generally I go PS3 over 360, as my 360 is primarily used for Kinect games these days.

But with that said I will get back to the topic at hand, I claim that I am a casual hardcore gamer, because I love games of all sorts. I don't consider myself hardcore for two reasons, 1) I don't generally spend a ton of time gaming as I have other interests and responsibilities, and 2) I am not the best gamer, I love gaming but that does not make me a great player. So the games I do play I don't aim for record scores or time breaking records. I just play it for e un and really take in the game and enjoy all it has to offer as such I tend to be very thorough aka slow. For instance ZombiU best game I have played in a long time I am currently on last level and at about 85 survivors. But each if their lives brought some joy into mine, so I just keep plugging away.

As for games being hardcore or casual, I think it is really how you play them that truly defines the category. For instance Call of Duty games, I personally prefer offline play because I like to play at my own pace and not have children or adults acting like children spouting off all kinds of filth because they have no accountability to the other people they are playing with. And even outside of language you getting people going around and shooting their teammates just for the heck of it, which can be fun but again it comes down to how your playing. As for games like Mario a lot of the levels and obstacles can be pretty difficult but usually you can bypass these difficulties if you choose, so again how you play is what decides hardcore or casual. And most games can be picked up and played by a 5 year old who will figure it out to some extent pretty quickly, but they will not be getting the same thing from the gameplay as someone playing through with more understanding.

So it's not the bright colors, the happy music, the cartoon characters, the blood, the violence, and ect. It all comes down to how the game is played.

Bought 4 on Xbox and never really got into it so probably won't buy it regardless, but if its released on Wii-U I may try it again after price goes down.

I got it on new from amazon.com for $29 about two weeks ago!

Personally I think the Wii U Gamepad would enable a lot of great functionality that would play well with the SimCity game. And as for me I would most likely pick it up, if it was released taking advantage of the Wii U's features, as this would be a sign that EA has gotten over their Nitendhate. But I bet at this point we would be more likely to see a Kinect enabled version released on the NextBox as the rumors are pointing towards a budding relationship between EA and Microsoft.
