Question of the Day, April 30, 2010



Bejeweled's ten-year anniversary just passed, but PopCap has a bevy of other games worth celebrating. The Escapist staff wants to know what other casual games you play.

Plants Vs Zombies,
Peggle, EXTREME FEVER!

Gyromancer, until it becomes angered by even a single "idle twist".

I like Popcap. They make casual games that even the core gamers can enjoy. Honestly, I think they deserve FAR more credit as a developer than they get.

There should be a, "I dislike them all" button.

Plants VS Zombies

Addicting games.

Mafia Wars is stupid and restrictive... and I can't stop checking it every day. The words "You've got an energy pack!" give me a jolt of joy and self-loathing.

Mafia Wars is Zynga...last I checked.

Ah, bastards!
You don't have Insane Aquarium!

no "none of the above" option?? that makes this the first poll i haven't voted on in a while...

 

[Ponch]

Oh, come on! No-one else is showing any love for the Bookworm?

no "none of the above" option?? that makes this the first poll i haven't voted on in a while...

A lot of these polls have only included options that indicate some strong opinion on the subject. We need more "I'm completely apathetic" options. Or not. Whatever.

Stylistically it's Zuma but the most fun I've had playing Peggle.

 

[Plinglebob]

Oh, come on! No-one else is showing any love for the Bookworm?

I like all of them (though Zuma's a pain in the arse at times) so I voted Bookworm as its an under-rated game because you actually have to a bit of thinking.

 

[Spiner909]

Plants vs Zombies, but it is too easy and not really worth the price.

 

[Fraught]

I have never played any of the games, except for Bejeweled, of course, and Peggle. I'd like to try Plants vs Zombies some day, but so far, out of those, Peggle.

Peggle is awesome. It's a casual game, but casual games possess a dangerously addictive fun-factor.

I would agree, but it would seem to be somewhat contradictory

 

[Eleima]

How can I be the only one (so far) who voted for Zuma's Revenge??
Inconceivable!!!

 

[Jared]

Gotta be Peggle for me! Absolutly love Peggle! So much epic awesome!

PvZ and Peggle are the only others I've played. Peggle I just played the demo and I have PvZ on iTouch and PC...
