I always see two recurring types of games here: one is "hidden object" game, another is ""dating sim". Shouldn't they get their own sub-genres?

Trivia: Hidden object games is a genre that has become insanely popular in the "casual gaming" market, especially on sites such as BigFishGames.com. Very simple gameplay mechanics, yet quite addictive. Often combines with stories, pussle solving parts etc. In the beginning they where crude (almost "clipart") games, but nowadays they sport very high production values.
