Peggle Nights
Windows PC
Phoop, thonk, ping, wap, boink, boink, tink, tink, tink, TINK, bonk, piddle, piddle, piddle, sploosh. Sure, it's no Call of Duty 4, Halo 3 or Rock Band 2, but Peggle Nights pretty much dares you to call it a "casual game" Go on, try. Thing is, there's no such thing as a "casual crack" either.
Lumosity
Windows PC
If you've any sort of penchant for "brain games," be they the Touch Generation titles found abundantly on Nintendo DS, or just the classics like the New York Times Crossword and 100,000 piece jigsaw puzzles, you'll likely take a shine to Lumosity.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09
PlayStation 3
Some people play golf, some people watch golf on TV, some people play golf on their TV, and some people do all of the above. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 for PlayStation3 lets you and others across the interweb do all that at the same, together.
Mario Super Sluggers
Wii
Typical of Nintendo, Mario and Co. have gathered yet again to play in some real-world sport but brought their magical mushroom trappings, fantastical power-up razzle-dazzle, and hallucinogenic sense of decor along with them.
Mercenaries 2: World In Flames
PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360
EA's new go-anywhere, over-the-top sandbox combat game, brimming with Hollywood-grade, oft-comedic violence, is very aptly named. "World in Flames" indeed. It's all good.
