Excellent link! What a great thing to be able to see (or perhaps not so
great ;-) who is playing these games and a bit of statistical info on
them (age, profession and local). Thanks!

Just to clarify, James. You are asking about groups/sites where casual
games are discussed and/or reviewed by players, right (and NOT links to
sites that simply distribute said games)?
 
It's a very good question. I've had a tough time finding such sites in
the past. I'd love to hear what you uncover. 
 
There is a lot of player-to-player interaction on Pogo, of course, but
it happens in real-time during play. 
 
Also, if you've never checked out the contest winners pages on
WildGames, those are pretty interesting/entertaining as well. At the
bottom of this page, you'll find a whole set of "view winners" links: 
http://www.wildgames.com/ECS/htdocs/contests.aspx?dp=wildgames&bw=high
 
I realize it's not exactly what you're talking about, but if you're
looking to better understand the casual audience, I think its pretty
useful.

		www.jayisgames.com is a great games blog that covers
primarily web games, but also touches on downloadables sometimes.
