As I digress, I don’t think that a game that treds the line of hardcore and casual is going to be a smash hit. Take for example the game Excite Truck for the Nintendo Wii. They were trying to attract the hardcore gamers by introducing a sequel to the popular game, Excite Bike, and to attract casual gamers by introducing a control setting that was easier to use (which it was). The only problem was is that it didn’t offer a lot else. Sure, I think it’s a really good game, but the general public tends to disagree with me. If you’re going to make a game, choose which crowd you want to attract. If you focus on one thing instead of two, it seems to work a little bit better. As for wondering if games can be good TV shows….just watch the Super Mario Brothers for that answer.
