PopCap Games Zuma’s Revenge is awesome. My friend Diane has been addicted to the original Zuma since it first came out, so she called me yesterday and said “Damian, have you played Zuma’s Revenge online yet?” Since I am a PopCap Games expert, of course I had already downloaded Zuma’s Revenge and played the trial.
Not only are the graphics and sound better than Zuma 1, but the gameplay and special marbles make this a superior game to one of the best casual games of all time. It may be time for a new Top 10 Casual Games list. Diane’s sister is madly in love with Zuma’s Revenge and called it one of the most addictive casual games by PopCap or any casual game publisher.
I suprised my wife last night at 10:00PM with Zuma’s Revenge and the next thing I know I went to sleep before her, and she was very tired to drive to work.
Zuma’s Revenge is a marble game, with more features than the beloved original. This is a must buy, especially since would make a super cheap Christmas gift.
Download Zuma’s Revenge- play the trial or buy Zuma’s Revenge Deluxe: Play your favorite games online at popcap games.

The best casual games for the PC are debatable, although there is no denying that casual game publisher PopCap Games, GameHouse, and Big Fish games lead the pack. Why are casual games popular? Ease of play, bug-free games, and the addiction are major reasons. The fact that you can play casual games online for free to test them out before downloading is a plus as well.
The Top 10 casual games have something for everyone: Bookworm Adventures Vol 1 and BWA2 is a word game but also a RPG. Peggle and Peggle Nights combin pinball and billiards. Zuma and Zuma’s Revenge is probably the most mainstream of all popular casual games. The Mystery PI games (designed by SpinTop Games) are find hidden object games. Plants vs Zombies is a weird column defense game.
So what is the
Top 10 Casual Games List? Truth is every list can be random because they are all great and are for all ages.

Mystery P.I. – Lost in Los Angeles is a find hidden object game published by PopCap Games, but developed by SpinTop Games. I wouldn’t put Mystery PI in the Top 10 Casual Games List, but it was still enjoyable enough for me to play the whole game out- my first for hidden object games.
You search excellently rendered backgrounds in L.A. to search for a missing reel of film. There are over 2,100 hidden objects in 25 locations like Malibu Beach, Rodeo Drive, movie studios, and other.
In addition to finding carefully hidden objects, there are 5 mini-game puzzles (including a Bejeweled homage), and bonus games.
It may not be original, but it’s a pretty relaxing
casual game. If you enjoyed other Mystery PI games, you would enjoy this one. In many ways, it’s exactly the same except the locations and objects are different. The action is linear, and the focus is on finding the objects as opposed to decifiering puzzles or riddles.

Well, I finally beat Bookworm Adventures 2 last week. BWA2 is arguably the best casual game, and is definitely ranked in the Top 10 Casual Games list. I must tip my hat to PopCap Games programmers and design team- the enemies and levels were so fantastic again, as was Bookworm Adventure’s soundtrack.
Anyway, the final stage for Lex the Bookworm is set in a dark future, where George Orwell’s 1984 came true, and the boss is named BIGGER BROTHER. After I defeated Bigger Brother, I had to face the ultimate machine of the multiverse- Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3.
I was actually undefeated until the final stage in Bookworm Adventures Vol 2. The machine beat me five straight times, before I wised up.
How To Beat The Last Boss in Bookworm Adventures 2:
1) Make sure you have a lot of healing potions, power up potions, and medicine.
2) If you do not have a lot of potions, the best thing to do is let Phase 1 kill you a few times. Make sure you choose Mother Goose as your companion so she will lay eggs every 4 turns to give you a health potion. After you die, you also have a chance to win more potions via the word scramble mini games and word puzzles.
3) One you have a nice supply of potions, select the Cheshire Cat as your companion. He will remove unhealthy status conditions on your letter tiles; this is a MUST since Phase 2 and Phase 3 turn your letters against you.
4) As for special items, I chose “Just Right Porridge” (Resists Stun), which helps you with Phase 1, and I chose the Book of the Dead, which boosts Lex’s health when healing via potion and green gems.
5) If you survive to Phase 3, do not click on any letters that turn red, because they will damage Lex. Make sure you use all of your potions, and be sure to power-up for Lex’s last three words.

Check out the Plants vs Zombies trailer. Excited yet? So I was looking for Plants vs Zombies online because the Plants vs Zombies reviews have been great. I admit I didn’t see the appeal of a Plants vs Zombies adventure as a casual game at first, but after playing the first board…I was hooked by PopCap games…again.
I have to say, there are PC games or video games that can hold your interest and are good, and then there are addictive video games that require you to have IV injected into your arms to give you nutrition because you can’t leave your computer to get food in the refridgertator. This game is that addictive that your eyes will become bloodshot. This game is for kids and adults. You control an army of plants to stop zombies from entering your house and eating your brains.
Plants vs Zombies soundtrack: The music is a parody of old horror movies.
Graphics: Excellent flash animation.
Sound: As good as it gets.
Game modes: You can earn money in every game mode and buy better weapons and secrets. The Zen Garden mode is cool, and the Mini-Games are like MODs. You can even do take control of the bad guys and do Zombies vs Plants! This game has a TON of replay value; this was not slapped together and rushed out by any means. This was truly an excellent effort by the programmers and design team. Wow.
Plants vs Zombies gameplay: Left click mouse…and that’s it!
When it comes to the best casual games, or the
Top 10 Casual Games of all time, Plants vs Zombies is going to be climbing to the top!
