Dear IGDA Members,
 
With the recent push on social games, the place of casual games has been 
put into question. Are casual games the hot thing anymore, or is social 
gaming the key to playability and profitability? Undoubtedly, we’re 
finding a space to merge the popularity of Massively Multiplayer Online 
games with the simplicity and ease of casual games through apps and 
sites such as Facebook. This month’s issue of the IGDA Perspectives 
Newsletter focuses on this dynamic shift but also on the tried and true 
practices of casual games development.
 
We would like to thank this month’s contributors, in order of 
appearance: Erin Robinson, Thomas H. Buscaglia, Jeff Spock, Tom 
Rassweiler, Jim Charne, Dave Rohrl, Liz Canacari, Jason Della Rocca, 
Nils Holger Henning, and Alla Khramtsova. As always, the IGDA 
Perspectives Newsletter is made by IGDA members for IGDA members.
 
We’re also pleased to unveil the HTML
