B5media Launches Casual Games Blog
April 14, 2008 | By Thord Daniel Hedengren | Filed Under Blog Networks, Blog News
Gamerlite launched on April 8th, but the announcement on the official b5media blog went out today. It’s a blog covering casual gaming, which could probably be a good addition to the Video Games Channel. With their own words:
Anyway, joking aside, if its about board games, racing games, puzzles or anything else that you play for minutes or even just for a few hours at a time, we will cover it here. Or at the very least, weβll try. If we did miss out on anything, just let us know.
Check it out if you’re into casual gaming.
About the author: Thord Daniel Hedengren is a designer, writer, and blogger, and also the editor of The Blog Herald. He used to be a hotshot in the gaming industry in Sweden, but sold everything and went International. He founded the interview blog BloggerTalks, does loads of kickass design.
