Clare Capp of Xboxer360.com writes "I've been having a think recently, and that's about what really defines us as a "gamer"?
Some people say that you become a gamer even if you play the odd one or two games on PC or mobile, you know like those flash games that some people would lose interest in a few minutes…or gets lodged in your favorite bookmarks and gets used every day like clockwork for months until the next funky flash game comes along. If all this is true then my own mum is a hardcore gamer (when it comes to scrabble on Facebook at least!)"
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
A very devoted fan of Call of Duty: World at War racks up incredible in-game stats while playing regularly for the past 15 years.

Gamespot : Call of Duty: Vanguard launches with 20 multiplayer maps, three of which are actually remakes from 2008's Call of Duty: World at War. Let's take a look at how the maps have changed with this side-by-side comparison.
Oh believe me,it matters for Microsoft.
...then they stand on their mountain of expensive electronics and video games and compare the number of hours they've spent in front of the TV or monitor.
I don't care if I'm classified as a "gamer" or not. In fact, in the real social world, "gamer" had a negative connotation. I'm perfectly happy with my 360 Arcade. I'm never on Live and I don't even have a hard drive. I play maybe an hour or so a day, just to unwind after work. Then I go do other stuff. Gaming is a disease. Get off your ass and go do something else, gamer.
