I don't like to use the term 'Casual Games' coz it has no significant definition for me.

This whole mentality of for example, Wii Sports being a 'Casual Game' is just rubbish. I would call it a Party Game where friends and families can get together and play the game.

And then there's the fanboy terms where they call the Wii "The Casual Console". I mean... WTF... So then how are games like Mario Galaxy, Mario Party, etc all so called "Casual"? Is it because there's no blood and shooting other humans invovled and not hardcore and hence it's "Casual"??? Rubbish I'd say...

That's the whole point of a causual game,to appeal to people that normally would'nt play a video game at all,so  wii sports is a casual game. It's easy to pick up and play and the whole family can get together and play it. Calling the wii the casual console does'nt mean every single game is casual. Maraio galaxy is a platformer and mario party could be consider casual. The wii appeals to an audience that what not normally play a video game at all. It appeals to women and the elderly. So I could see why people would call the wii a casual console.

I meant according to fanboys, they call it casual just to bash the Wii. It's just stupid fanboy logic.
