Casual games... What are they? And, more importantly, who can play them?

What are your favorite leisure activities? Of the many forms of entertainment available to you today, which do you find the most enjoyable? Playing computer and video games? More specifically, playing easy-to-learn, easy-to-play computer games? If you're passionate about playing games on your computer, then please read on...

No doubt most of you have heard about computer and video games (also referred to by many as computer games or video games). You've also heard about how traditional (or hardcore) gamers - typically 18-30 year old males - spend a fortune on buying video games, as well as a good chunk of their leisure time playing them.

While many of you may also like to indulge in a little gaming, not everyone has the time or inclination to emulate the hardcore gamer. Well, don't despair. You can still have fun playing games, without having to spend a fortune or give up too much of your personal time.

How? A revolutionary new type of computer game, called a casual game...

What Are Casual Games?

In a few words, these are electronic games that are easy-to-learn, easy-to-play and do not necessarily involve a lot of your personal time. Don’t be fooled, though. While these games may be easy to learn and play, many of them are still difficult to master. After all, what's the point of playing a game that does not present you with, at the very least, a minimal challenge?

Who Can Play Casual Games?

Well, anyone and everyone. Why? Because playing casual games is not reliant on your gender, age, marital status, profession, geographical location or, for that matter, anything else. This is why these games are also often referred to as games for everyone.

And, YES, even children can have loads of fun playing casual games. Why? Unlike most so-called traditional (hardcore) video games, these games are generally non-violent and devoid of other forms of inappropriate content.

So, irrespective of whether you are male or female; young, middle-aged or retired; single or married; a home executive or business professional; reside in Vancouver, Canada or Tokyo, Japan; or have previously played a computer game or not, you too can derive great pleasure from playing this fascinating type of game.
