Casual Games: PopCap

PopCap games have constantly been releasing casual games for the masses. Considering the growing netbook market where you won't be playing any Call of Duty 4 or Crysis, casual games are probably the core games that one can probably play one these machines. Of course one can go to the back catalog of older games like Starcraft and Half Life but sometimes the graphics of those games don't hold up or you want to play something casual.

PopCap has released some of the most addictive casual games yet. A couple of years ago, Peggle - the zen peg popping game, was a really big hit. This year, one of their biggest hits is Plants vs Zombies which is a tower defense game. They also have Bookworm Adventures 2 - an RPG wordgame and Zuma's Revenge which is like a sequeal to Zuma.

The amazing thing about PopCap for me is that they have international pricing. I have no idea when they implemented this but it's an amazing idea. For people in the Philippines, it's Php 199.00 for all their games. That's a huge difference from the $19.99 regular price and the $9.99 price of Plants vs Zombies in Steam. So for a great price, why not purchase the game.
