B5media Launches Casual Games Blog

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, we’ll try. If we did miss out on anything, just let us know.

Check it out if you’re into casual gaming.

Casual games are easier to develop, shorter lifecycle, and less money to invest than desktop or console games. That’s why this type of game become popular.
