[casual_games] Use of keyboard on casual games

[Andrew McLennan]

Ever tried Tetris with a mouse?

I just find it ironic that the most popular casual game of all time doesn't
play well with a mouse.

The real phenomenon here is that we are now dealing with an audience that
expects mouse control and is most comfortable with it. So it has become self
reinforcing.

This does limit innovation possibilities and restricts genre expansion.
However, we have a long way to go to get out of the world of clones before
that is truly an issue.

Personally, I think cursor key control is most natural, but when I was a kid
computers didn't have mice.
