Sure those Rock Band and Guitar Hero III games are fun and expensive but you re more of a Bejeweled Zuma fan who likes to match gems or shoot colored beads for a few minutes on your cellphone or computer. Well move over kids and let go of the controller because the console driven game has changed. The three big game systems Microsoft s Xbox Sony s PlayStation and most recently Nintendo s Wii now all offer casual games to download from the Internet for or less. These are aimed at the folks who enjoy arcade or puzzle games on their phone or computer but want the convenience and eye opening appeal of playing on their television screen. While you can find great games to play at sites such as miniclip.com orisinal.com pogo.com instantaction.com and kongregate.com you won t find the WiiWare or PlayStation Network or Xbox Live Arcade games with your computer. You ll use the console to connect to Nintendo Sony or Microsoft servers. One of my favorite games is the beautifully simple Echochrome downloadable from the PlayStation Network. Tilt and move an Escher style platform to help an artist s mannequin walk from one destination to another. By changing your perspective of the platform you hide pitfalls that could cause the mannequin to tumble off into space. Minimalist and elegant Echochrome features surging chamber music that reminds you you re a long way from hack and slash shoot em up games. Titles covering puzzles sports racing trivia cards and more compete for your attention. The variety of offerings is staggering though not all games are available on all consoles and games are added often on Xbox Live Arcade for instance you can find arcade favorites such as Frogger familiar titles such as Zuma and Uno and trivia games such as Wits and Wagers. In competition with million selling titles such as Halo and Grand Theft Auto IV a little gem such as Echochrome would be overlooked. That s the joy of casual game portals they are places for quirky games that are comparatively inexpensive to create and appeal to a different audience. They don t have to be financial blockbusters. But they still are a good investment for the likes of Nintendo Microsoft and Sony who hope to reel in casual gamers happy to buy several arcade games and keep them just as hooked as the hard core gamers who spend to a pop for the latest big name title. For many months I ve been downloading and playing games from Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network. I can t wait to try WiiWare and I have been playing old school downloads available on the Wii s Virtual Console since the Wii s release in . Some WiiWare games are promising. Major League Eating The Game for instance looks like silly fun in which you enter a variety of who can eat the most competitions stuffing your gut and belching your way through mounds of pizza mini burgers and hot dogs. Fun that s gross and engrossing even a Halo fan can get into that. What You Need To Access PSN XBLA Or WiiWare Here s what you need to download games to your console t A broadband connected PlayStation Xbox or Wii t A free account on the PlayStation Network Xbox Live or WiiWare What You ll Do t Search the casual game portal on your console for a game to play. You ll be confronted with a host of familiar and unfamiliar titles. Fortunately you can download and try free demos you get a small part of the game you ll have to pay for the rest . t Using your game controller download a compressed demo to your console. With a button click you can uncompress it so you re ready to play. t Keep the file as long as you want you can delete demos to make room for others you want to try. t To buy downloadable casual games you can use your credit card to buy points then use points to purchase games. You can also go to a store that sells video games and buy debit cards preloaded with points that can be spent to download games . A dollar buys you Microsoft Points and games cost or points or to . On the Wii a dollar buys you points and games cost to points. Because the games cost about the price of a movie at the cineplex the temptation of impulse buying is great. The game systems have parental controls to prevent kids from purchasing games like crazy.
