Seattle Weekly:
Amazon.com here announces it entry into what’s generally called the “casual gaming” market. Its new Amazon Game Downloads store (currently a beta site) allows users to download games for between $6.99 or $9.99 a pop. Casual apparently means smaller, less comprehensive games that don’t require a whole Xbox or PlayStation console. They’re bigger apps than the ones you might download to your iPhone, perhaps suited to business travelers looking for time-wasters on their laptops, or families whose kids will soon tire of a cheap diversion.
