@ bdbdbd: Ah, shame on me for not reading the full text - and shame on CAVG for posting it with a deliberately provocative title. =P
@ Words of Wisdom: Perhaps the fact that Bejeweled and Bookworm have more depth than most other games out there? I know from experience that everything PopCap makes is horribly addictive - and the fact that their titles have outsold most big-name PC exclusives should say quite a bit.
"'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'."
