Since I was very young, I have always had a keen interest in the psychological reasons people choose to do particular things, and recently I have found this curiosity emerge regarding casual gamers. Whatever console you choose or site you pick, the diversity in the reasons people choose to play certain games is truly fascinating. Some people stick to a certain genre, never once daring to try something new. Other people play only the newest and most publicised games, whilst some people choose games purely because they have interesting graphics, or a title that amuses them in some way. And the best thing is that whichever category you choose, there are hundreds of people just like you, so you’ll never be alone.

6 differences is a simple little game. You have to spot the 6 differences between 15 pictures, some of them animated. Once you find all 6 differences in a given picture you’ll move on to the next level. It’s very reminiscent of those “spot the difference” games nestled in at the bottom of the comics section in the paper from when we were kids, although 6 differences is far more artistically pleasing and even kind of creepy at times.
There’s an easy 15 points to be had here over on Kongregate, but if you find yourself stuck on one or more of the pictures, we’re here to help. Read more… »

Now the gaming community isn’t exactly renowned for being patient so it was hardly surprising to see internet forums across the globe brought to their knees by a flood of posts by indignant, angry gaming geeks. I was, however, surprised at how quickly things started to turn ugly. Read more… »
