hey guys, little help? I'm trying to think of FIVE casual games to write about. ones that would be enjoyed by both casual and "hardcore" gamers.

so far I have Puzzle Quest and MineSweeper (which is a bit of a joke so I might make this the sixth one), I'd like the other three/four to be "hidden gems" that not everyone would have heard of but are quite ENTERTAINING.

Also they have to be PC or browser games. THANKS

It's not very hidden, but Bust-A-Move seems to be a casual game that everyone enjoys. I'm really trying to come up with one that many people wouldn't know about, but I keep thinking of stuff that isn't that uncommon, like Tower Defense and Nibbles.

I'm not helping! I'm sorry!

Maybe just treat the entire Orisinal site as one big game? Everyone can find something to enjoy here.

Outrun 2006 is pretty casual. You can get form start to finish in less than five minutes and it's hard to imagine anyone not enjoying it unless they are into "fashionable" dickery.

don't think you can get away with starting this topic without defining the term "casual".
