Casual games help families bond

mistermostyn | August 28, 2007 | News | Misc

Love 'em or hate 'em, the advance of the casual game looks like it cannot be stopped. And, with consumer poll percentages such as the those listed over at GamerSquad, it would appear that families are feeling a whole lot more connected because of the rise of the casual game. Who said gaming has no discernible benefits?

Group hug, everybody! A new poll has found that an overwhelming majority of parents and grandparents feel that casual games help them bond with their children and grandchildren. Of the 7,500 adults polled by PopCap (a - quelle surprise! - casual games developer), 92% reckoned that they’d become closer to the young’uns through the wonder of casual games.
