[casual_games] Re: Casual games user groups (player side)

[Jay Bibby]

Thanks, Andy, for the mention. I have been subscribed to this mailing list
since the launch of the Casual Games SIG, and I have enjoyed the excellent
discussions that have been on it so far.

Regarding websites/forums dedicated to casual games, you might also want to
check out http://www.nordinho.com/ and Graeme Walton's
http://www.lazylaces.com/

Both sites have an active user community that helps each other solve the
games that get posted. Nordinho has the format of a forum, while Lazylaces
follows a blog format.

Fostering community participation and involvement is a direction that I have
taken my own blog, jayisgames.com <http://jayisgames.com>, since I view
community as an important component of the casual games market. For
instance, I have been encouraging submissions of game reviews by visitors
themselves, and have received much support in this area.

best,

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

I'm trying to put together a database of user-groups and/or websites on
the user/player side that are dedicated to casual games. Anything from
forums dedicated to word games to yahoo groups to newsgroups to websites
would help me out.

Thanks!
