not a gamer not a problem
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
ten casual games bow for this list we
rank the best games which are fun and
accessible for hardcore gamers and
non-gamers alike we’ve stuck to titles
that have found a substantial audience
beyond the usual gaming crowd meaning as
much as we love minecraft it’s out
as usual one per franchise number ten
Windows OS games various these games
were pretty simplistic even for their
time but that didn’t keep them from
being a blast for the mathematically
minded there is minesweeper where we’ve
lost countless hours clicking and
counting praying that we don’t blow
ourselves up there’s also free sell
which is pretty much just solitaire with
the added bonus that almost every hand
is winnable we’d graduate to more
sophisticated games later on but these
were a good place to start
number nine rock band series
the Guitar Hero series was pretty cool
but this title took things to the next
level by adding microphone drums and a
bass thereby letting you rock out with a
full group although it’s hard to imagine
such a concept not working well the game
perfected it with a killer soundtrack
featuring awesome tunes like creep by
Radiohead you won’t learn much about
playing actual musical instruments from
this game but you’ll sure have a great
time
number eight Just Dance series as the
title suggests all you have to do in
this game is bust a move
that’s hardly a bad thing because
imitating the moves of the dancers on
screen as you do in this game makes for
an entertaining time it expands on the
rhythmic foot tapping of the DDR series
by having you use your whole body and
the expansion makes the simple idea even
more fun the game’s moves probably won’t
work as well in the club as they do in
your living room but hey it’s worth a
shot
number seven plants vs. zombies zombies
and tower defense were two of the
biggest trends of the last generation so
merging the two seems like a logical
progression
more lane defense than tower defense
here players are tasked with stopping a
zombie horde by placing a huge variety
of fighting flora in their path
although the series didn’t go
free-to-play for a sequel we’d recommend
shelling out the $0.99 for the original
if you want to avoid grinding and
microtransactions number 6 peggle
pachinko is a popular pinball like
Japanese game and this title captures
its furious fun in the digital form with
some adjustments of course
in the one-player adventure mode your
job in each level is to clear all the
orange pegs which you do by shooting the
ball against them and watching them
disappear once the ball falls through
the bottom of the screen or get saved by
the ball catcher it’s easy enough for a
clueless gamer but the rewarding
gameplay is hard not to fall into number
5 Angry Birds it’s hard to think of a
title which has been more popular across
multiple demographics than this one the
relatively straightforward mechanic of
slingshot in your Birds at the enemy
pigs is bolstered by great touchscreen
controls and responsive physics engine
an animated film adaptation is in
development but we doubt that it’ll be
anywhere near as fun as playing the real
game
number four Wii Sports the Wii seemed so
promising when we first fired it up and
popped this game in the system it had
quite a few other great titles but it
seemed like nothing really capitalized
on the motion control platform better
than this simple collection of minigames
quickly becoming a cultural phenomenon
upon its release
Wii Sports gave Nintendo’s console a
place in living rooms the world over and
even in the White House match point
number three bejeweled series there have
been lots of popular tile-matching games
since this one particularly the sweet
tooth friendly candy crush saga but none
of them have topped this golden oldie
all you have to do is swap adjacent gems
in order to make chains of three or more
same color gems but the simple system is
the gift that keeps on giving if you can
get a bunch in a row you’ll trigger a
cascade and reap bonus points which are
too many visual fans more valuable than
actual jewels number two farm bill you
might have been disappointed when you
realize that the cutie who hit you up
with an invitation to play this game
wasn’t actually into you but at least
you got some addictive fun out of it the
adorable farming sim has you earned farm
coins through crop harvesting and
visiting neighbors which in turn you can
use to buy more crops and more animals
perpetuating the cycle I’d say more but
I’m trying to quit and just talking
about it gives me flashbacks farmville
to country escape available now anytime
anywhere before we get to our number one
let’s take a look at some honorable
mentions Oh heads up cannon
number one Dark Souls just kidding
actually
number one Tetris older doesn’t always
equal better but our favorite casual
game is this classic the geometric
puzzler has you fit groups of four
blocks known as tetrominoes together as
they fall down the screen clearing them
when you create a full horizontal line
the result is a game that is simple to
pick up as it is addictive and fun to
play
even if casual games got a lot more
sophisticated after this classic they
never quite reached its sheer quality do
you agree with our list what’s your
favorite casual game for more addictive
