[casual_games] Question of the week

[Bernard François]

Well, actually I don't play any games strictly for pleasure; it's always a mix between pleasure and learning. I always enjoy this; if I don't, I start playing an other game.

The platforms I'm playing on vary. Currently, this is 70% iOS (of which 70% iPhone and 30% iPad) and 30% Xbox360 and PS3.

On iOS, 90% of the games I play are casual (in the broad sense - I'm rarely playing ports of PC downloadable casual games on iOS, though I must admit that hidden object games work really well on iPad).

Before this (about 6 months ago) I was playing primarily social games, and before that (about 2 years ago) I was playing almost exclusively on Kongregate.

The one type of game I haven't played in a long time are PC hardcore games. I'm currently so busy with work, that I don't want to spend additional time at a desk or table and prefer to play mobile or console games.

I also occasionally tweet about games I play, which is quite fun as it makes me think further about the games (needed to be able to share interesting facts or thoughts on Twitter).
The twitter account I'm using to do this is http://twitter.com/brnrd_frncs
