As NPD’s latest study showing that 72 percent of Americans play video games demonstrates, gaming is increasingly moving out of the basement and into the living room as it becomes a more mainstream form of entertainment. On this week’s installment of Digital Trends’ own video series, Players Only, host Scott Steinberg takes a look at why casual gaming is finally beginning to take off.
Steinberg speculates that a casual gaming revolution may be on the horizon, as evidenced by the mainstream success of games from Guitar Hero to The Sims. Guests from Sony, Red Octane, and Electronic Gaming Monthly also offer up their opinions on the emerging genre, along with some of gaming’s founding fathers.
