No, no. You see, this is the way it works here on VGChartz:
Screenshots released of gritty, realistic HD game with tons of bloom: "OMG looks amazing AAA GOTY confirmed!!!"
Screenshots released of cartoony "for-all-ages" game with lots of primary colors: "meh, probably shovelware."
I mean, jesus christ, people. At least wait for some gameplay footage before you judge a game.
"'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'."
