10 Must Play Casual Games

Gaming isn’t all about blowing up heads with your shotgun or chopping limbs off alien invaders; there’s a lighter side to gaming as well, which is surprisingly popular since it appeals to the wider audience that craves some sort of escape from their mundane daily routine. If you’re one of the million people out there who enjoys such games, we’ve got a treat for you – a list of 10 casual games that’s guaranteed to satisfy the casual gamer within.

Bejeweled 2 Deluxe

Let’s start off with the only casual game I’ve ever been addicted to – Bejeweled 2 Deluxe. The game requires you to place 3 or more similar colored cubes in a horizontal line by swapping two cubes at a time to make them disappear and score points. If you manage to get 4 or 5 cubes together, you make special cubes that can be detonated to score faster. The best part about the game is that as you keep moving ahead, the game’s difficulty level increases a good bit (along with the amount you score) making it a real challenge to score big. Before you know it you’ll be competing with your friends for a higher score than theirs and there’s no better feeling than kicking their asses with a humongous high score.

Big City Adventures – San Francisco


An amalgamation of many puzzle based mini-games, Big City Adventures – San Francisco is sure to please the puzzle addict in each one of you. The best mini-game of them all is one that requires you to spot different objects in a collage-like scene, which is quite challenging to even the most observant gamer. The thing I love most about the game is the way it flows, giving you a good number of different puzzles to keep things fresh and to keep you challenged. Even though the game’s difficulty doesn’t seem to increase as you cross levels it still manages to keep monotony (which plagues most casual games) at bay, which is truly commendable.
