Moms. Or at least that's what I think is probably throwing that demographic off. Moms buying games for their kids. It’s moms dude. Moms.

Men are people too (I know, I know...hard to believe). Just think of it as an electronic ACTION FIGURE house, er, playset. That's how Mattel always marketed it, and it's done a fine job of things ;-). All joking aside...cut yourself a little slack. It's okay to enjoy social simulation games. I'm a sucker for games like Pharoh and Caesar 4. I really REALLY hope they make another Dungeon Keeper. Bah. Men are people too (I know, I know…hard to believe).

I bought it because it seemed like deep sandbox gameplay, but the social focus felt kinda girly. I actually spent more time designing homes in the game than anything else, but it was still a little awkward with all the relationships play.

As far as casual gaming it really is spur of the moment. I'll pickup a xbla game and love it, play it intesenly for a couple days then move on... most often when i'm between major titles... Anyone else excited for CoD 4??? 5 games… yea there goes my christmas money :p I still need to preorder assassin’s creed, sometime this week i suppose.
