angry tapir writes "Chris Jager from GoodGearGuide argues that the rise of casual gaming means near-certain death for hardcore gaming. The sales of casual 'party-friendly' games are massively outstripping the sales of classic hardcore games, and the makers of other consoles are taking note of Nintendo's success in attracting non-traditional gamers to the Wii and DS. There is evidence that Sony and Microsoft are both trying to tap into the casual market, and it's only a matter of time before hardcore gaming goes the way of the Nintendo PowerGlove." Of course, the trend toward casual doesn't just involve Nintendo mdash; World of Warcraft's success (and the huge effect it's had on the MMO genre) is often credited to its focus on casual gamers. While it's not unreasonable for game studios to want all players to see all of the game's content, perhaps there's a better way of catering to the more hardcore players than tacking on difficulty modes and "do it the hard way" achievements.pa href="http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/04/24/0524216amp;from=rss"img src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rssamp;op=imageamp;style=h0amp;sid=09/04/24/0524216"/a/ppa href="http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/04/24/0524216amp;from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./p pa href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/v9xhpM8RAnWwR9kaFYEc_DX2zxE/a"img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/v9xhpM8RAnWwR9kaFYEc_DX2zxE/i" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/yPHQVk9giQ8" height="1" width="1"/

ThinSkin writes "Imagine playing bleeding-edge games, yet never again upgrading your hardware. That's the ambitious goal of OnLive's Internet delivered gaming service. Using cloud computing, OnLive's goal is to 'make all modern games playable on any system,' thanks in large part to OnLive's remote servers that do all the heavy lifting. With a fast enough Internet connection, gamers can effectively stream and play games using a PC, Mac, or a 'MicroConsole,' 'a dedicated gaming client provided by OnLive that includes a game controller.' Without ever having to worry about costly hardware upgrades or the cost of a next-gen console, gamers can expect to fork over about $50 yearly just for the service. If this thing takes off, this can spell trouble for gaming consoles down the road, especially if already-established services like Steam and Impulse join the fray."pa href="http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/03/24/135212amp;from=rss"img src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rssamp;op=imageamp;style=h0amp;sid=09/03/24/135212"/a/ppa href="http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/03/24/135212amp;from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./p pa href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/xgD4RyxOv-rQjbTXkrnbA8sQhb0/a"img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/xgD4RyxOv-rQjbTXkrnbA8sQhb0/i" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/zpus1wbBd2U" height="1" width="1"/

If you still don't think Apple has designs on the gaming market with its mobile devices, you haven't been paying attention. The early April release of the Wi-Fi iPad followed at the end of the month with the arrival of the 3G version could have been mistaken for the arrival of a new gaming console, given all the high-profile games available for the new device.
