Ever been in a room with a group of so-called gamers and find yourself judging each one based on gamer stereotypes? No? Well that’s fine, because I’ve taken the time out to categorize them all for you. Here are the most basic of gamer types, stripped down to their bare essentials. Know of, or belong to, a gamer type not listed here? Feel free to leave suggestions in the comments!
The Jock Gamer – They play
Madden and
Call of Duty exclusively. They own an Xbox 360 because it’s “cheaper” and it’s what all their jock gamer friends own. They dress normally and live normal lives. They don’t play video games when real sports are on, but part of why they watch real sports is to see how their players in the video games will fare after the game. They bought a Wii for their wife and/or kids.
