"Casual" gaming on facebook?


Submitted by AyaJJ on April 23, 2010 - 12:38pm. Casual Corner

When I joined Facebook, I didn’t think of it as a portal to endless apps and games. I didn’t even join Facebook to catch up with my friends from high school. I joined Facebook to look at a few pictures my family posted.

So how did I get sucked into the gaming parts?

Funky Farm 2


Submitted by Meg on February 23, 2010 - 4:38pm. Casual Corner

I really like farm management games, which is odd since I can’t keep a real plant alive, but after playing Harvest Moon, FarmCraft, Farm Frenzy and so many others, I wasn’t sure there was any room left for new farming games. I didn’t know if Funky Farm 2 by SortaSoft could bring anything new that other farm sims hadn’t already done.

Avenue Flo


Submitted by Rosethorn on January 24, 2010 - 2:00am. Strategy (PC)

A new casual game from the makers of Diner Dash recently hit the market and this one isn't a time management game. Instead, Avenue Flo is more in the style of casual adventure games with elements of puzzling and hidden objects. And it's great fun too! There were only a couple of things I found frustrating. First, the game is far too short. It left me wanting more. I suppose that's not really a bad thing, but hey, I have to point out something negative! The other thing was in the chicken singing game. The chickens moved off the screen too slowly. Go ahead, accuse me of nitpicking. I don't care. The sad thing is, that's all I can name as wrong with this title.

Our Score:- 5 Stars

Coming Soon : Extensive List of Free To Play Games


Submitted by mr715 on October 18, 2008 - 7:48pm. Exclusive Casual Corner

We will have an extensive list of Free To Play Games that are played online.

Hopefully some of you will find this list useful, and actually show everyone the explosion of F2P games that are coming out.

Some are 100% Free, while most are Micro-transaction types. But they are all FREE to download and play so that you can "try" the game to see if you want to continue on and play the game, and/or buy-in to the Micro-transaction pay model.

Hope you enjoy the list :)

'Elias The Mighty' Review (PC)


Submitted by thankeeka on May 22, 2008 - 8:01am. Exclusive Game Review

As a child, do you remember the pre-school toy where you were supposed to take square pegs and place them in square slots? If so, perhaps Elias The Mighty is a game right up your alley, as it follows the same premise for the most part. You wouldn't think it, but trying to properly recognize shapes can be rather difficult at times. So is Elias The Mighty truly mighty or merely average?

'Build-a-Lot 2: Town of the Year' Review (PC)


Submitted by thankeeka on May 9, 2008 - 11:41am. Exclusive Game Review

I'm typically not a big fan of micromanagement casual games, but one that surprised me with its quality when it was first released was Build-a-Lot. It was great to be land baron, buying up houses for sell, improving them, turning them for profit, and then buying up all the land in the area. Build-a-Lot 2: Town of the Year continues the same trends and gameplay from the last game, but yet has also added a few new features as well. Sigh, if only I had the money to really wheel and deal in real life.

'Dancing With The Stars' Review (PC)


Submitted by thankeeka on May 6, 2008 - 3:36pm. Exclusive Game Review

I always enjoyed So You Think You Can Dance more than Dancing With The Stars, but over these last two seasons I've found some joy in watching the drama of the show. I pull for Cheryl Burke each season because I love her so. I'm riveted by Cristián de la Fuente – who I'd never heard of before this – and how he tore a muscle, is dancing with only one useable arm right now, and had the best performances of his dancing career this week. Okay, so I'm addicted to the show now, but sadly not this game at all.

'Slingo Quest Hawaii' Review (PC)


Submitted by thankeeka on May 1, 2008 - 9:01am. Exclusive Game Review

Once upon a time I thought bingo was only a pastime old people could enjoy, but after one long road trip to a casino and a few hours of playing, however, my mind was changed and I had a blast. Since then, sadly, there hasn't been a bingo experience that could even compare to that one. Trying to capture the gameplay of bingo in a game is like trying to find a great game of bingo – it's only as fun as the experience and people surrounding it. Along comes Slingo Quest Hawaii, a bingo-esque game, which manages to capture the spirit of bingo and transform it into something that can be enjoyed by yourself.

'DragonStone' Review (PC)


Submitted by thankeeka on April 22, 2008 - 11:53am. Exclusive Game Review

Being in love sucks! If it isn't the pain of your heart being stepped on and squashed like a bug, it's having to overcome numerous obstacles – such as an overbearing father – in order to just be near the one you want. So, should you find yourself having to embark on a journey to get a magical stone to prove your worth to your love, what should you do? As it turns out, having a magical bow that shoots different colored balls is a marvelous tool to have to save the day.

'Mythic Mahjong' Review (PC)


Submitted by thankeeka on April 21, 2008 - 9:51am. Exclusive Game Review

The last mahjong game I played was the excellent Mahjongg Investigations: Under Suspicion, a game that managed to take the ancient gameplay of mahjong and tweaked it and made it new and relevant by incorporating little twists in the gameplay. Much like that game, Mythic Mahjong takes the traditional formula and makes it once again feel new with a fantasy adventure that will have you matching tiles in the name of saving your queen and vanquishing a dragon.

'Jabber' Review (PC)


Submitted by thankeeka on April 18, 2008 - 8:54am. Exclusive Game Review

When it comes to word games, it seems that most of the time the game is only ever as good as your actual vocabulary dictionary. Most games require an understanding of many different four or five letter words to advance you through the game, while knowing only a few basic words of three letters will lead to nothing but frustration. Jabber bridges the two extremes fairly well, letting word masters make some dastardly long words while yet giving those non-English college majors a chance at winning for a change.

'The Price Is Right' Review (PC)


Submitted by thankeeka on April 16, 2008 - 8:42am. Exclusive Game Review

Come on down! I couldn't even begin to tell you how many episodes of The Price Is Right I've seen over my lifetime. Whether it's Bob Barker or Drew Carey, I'm there at 11:00AM every day, eating lunch while I bid on prices and play games that I have no investment in and have no chance of winning. Still, oh, I love watching the show! And when I fired up The Price Is Right game for the first time and heard that signature music, how my smile did widen. So is the new The Price Is Right casual game as awesome as winning a Dodge Viper or is it as frustrating as someone outbidding you by one dollar for the win?

'Zen Fashion' Preview (PC)


Submitted by thankeeka on April 14, 2008 - 7:23am. Exclusive Game Preview

I'm a sucker for Asian style. At this very moment, for instance, I've got a huge manga book sitting on my desk that I'm using to try and teach myself how to draw. Given my leanings towards everything Asian, I instantly jumped at the chance to spend some time with a preview build of Zen Fashion, a soon to be released casual game that bridges the majestic nature of the Oriental with some flower matching fun. If only I could get my own hairdo to give me the power to slow down time.
