Considering that most people (save the true VC-hardcore crowd that must own everything!) won't buy more than maybe 5%-10% of all games that get released on VC, then one has to conclude that you'll only get a game you truely want maybe once a month or so. There are a limited number of blockbuster games that have come out for these systems and it'll take time for them all to come out.
I probably won't get anything this week, but it seems 2 of today's releases look pretty good so really there's no need to complain. I may check out Star Parodier sometime in the future if I'm looking for something new to try.
I don't really understand what it is about so many 'hardcore' gamers that they fell they need to trash 'casual' gamers and 'casual' games. It seems that, just like Luc Bernard said about the posters on Demonoid that were trash talking him, that there are a lot of sheep who feel the need to post hate comments just to make themselves feel superior. I mean, just because a game isn't of the style that you usually enjoy, doesn't make it stupid. It's different strokes for different folks.
There are thousands of scientists who don't play hardcore games, are these people stupid if they prefer to casually play casual games?? I've played many drinking games with people who went on to become scientists/engineers/doctors/teachers etc.
I'd consider myself to be a 'hardcore' gamer, being that I spend most of my free time at home playing video games. I bought Toki Tori, and it was fun, but it's not really much more than a video game version of a puzzle book. Considering the price, one can't complain if that's the type of game you do like, and I have no regrets about my purchase.
My GF on the other hand would fit the 'casual' gamer title. She enjoys smaller games focused mostly on puzzles and such (and she did enjoy Toki Tori I might add), Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Mario Party etc. These types of games tend (but not always) to be more social and easy to pick up for anyone to play. I think this is the appeal of games like Pong Toss. Although most of my party days are behind me, I could've seen myself purchasing pong toss to play as a drinking game, and we probably would've had a blast with it (and wouldn't spill beer all over the place like we usally would've).
