The only casual game I've played that really sparkled for me at all has been Fate. I know I mentioned it in another thread, but I can't say enough good things about it from a casual game point of view. I highly recommend giving it a trial run.

Downloading now. Thanks for the tip.

I know it's not for everyone, being a card combat game. But even my g/f who had never played a game of Magic: The Gathering in her life and had no interest in doing so ended up addicted to Fate. Lemme know what you think.

Where can one find this Fate?

Is it this: http://www.s3m.com/fate/ ?

I got it at RealArcade. I think it is also available at www.download.com

And no, that is a different game. The one I am talking about is inspired by HBO's series Carnivale. It is set in a bizarre circus.

Arghh, Damn. It needs RealArcade, which I'm not goign to install. download.com linked to real arcade as well.

I checked and Real is a co-producer of the game along with HBO, so you are unlikely to find it at any other game portals. Sorry.

http://www.gunbound.net <-- No story, but a great casual game. Beware, it's questionably translated into English from Korean. Also, it's a 100mb download, on account of running on a cel-shaded 3d engine. But it's free
