When the name of its intended genre has the prefix, "MMO-"
When the main character is less than 18 years old and has spiky and/or technicolor anime hair
Alternatively, when the main character is a space marine or supersoldier of any kind
When the screenshots show brown as the dominant color in the game world, and the game isn't a horror game
When a bunch of manchildren obsess over the game's story on the Internet
When you spend at least as much time watching the game as playing it
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
