Someone who plays computer games fairly regularly. They own a a console or a pc and several games, usually of different genres. They have a decent knowledge of games, past present and future titles. They usually play more than one game, and have an appreciation of good games (not necessarily those which are popular). They are probably people who would consider calling good game making an art form and put gameplay over graphics when describing games to friends.
