Are You Still a Hardcore Gamer?

by Ingrid on April 26th, 2008

ClocksSo you’ve always considered yourself a hardcore gamer. You’ve boasted to your friends and sat atop your throne of Gaming Greatness. But time has past. You’ve gotten older. Gotten married. Maybe have more responsibilities. So, are you still really hardcore? 

TechRadar has listed ‘11 Signs That You’re Not A Hardcore Gamer’ to help you answer the eternal question.

  1. You prefer playing against the computer
  2. You only play when your girlfriend is out
  3. You believe that winning isn’t everything
  4. It’s been days, not hours since you last switched on your console
  5. You like your Xbox 360 and your PS3 equally
  6. You fondly remember a ‘golden age’ of gaming
  7. You avoid playing on the Wii because it’s too much effort
  8. Your FPS experience consists of spawn, run, die … spawn, run, die…spawn…
  9. You find the idea of videogames based on board games perfectly acceptable
  10. You’ve pre-ordered GTA IV but don’t mind if it doesn’t turn up on launch day
  11. You’re the oldest person trading in games at GameStation

So what do you think? Do you agree with the above? And do you think you can get older and still keep the hardcore stamp?
