If we're talking about honest-to-god addiction, that was brought up in Nirgal's reply, men are naturally more predisposed to the addictive gene than women.There's also a possible disparity in how the ...

From what I've seen, this isn't really a gendered thing at all. Some people can center on gaming and others can't. Maybe gaming just isn't your primary interest, and that's perfectly fine. For some pe...

It depends. If someone plays specifically for the sense of accomplishment, difficult games are innately good, or at least more likely to be regarded as good in their view.

It's hard to say that any games defined my childhood when I brought all of them with me into adulthood. I STILL play Street Fighter II, I STILL play Final Fantasy IV, I STILL play Wave Race 64, etc et...

I don't think difficulty necessarily is a requirement, but it helps. Ultimately there has to be a point to it, whatever that point happens to be.

Story can make a good game great, but it can never make a bad game good, and I don't know why people are so forgiving of this. If a game's story is really great, but the game itself is awful, doesn't ...

FAFO. Every platform holder gets too big for their britches every now and again, and needs to be knocked down a few pegs. It's ebb and flow, nothing more.
