And of course the title says causal in stead of casual.... sigh...

I think I'll give it a casual glance, and then pass. ;)

Nice to see that all games are DRM-free, though.

Luxor Evolved looks good, and Samantha Swift might be decent if you like hidden object games.. The rest looks like crap.

There'll be a Luxor Evolved Tournament starting in 5 days on Groupees. 1st place gets a $100 steam giftcard.

Gotta love me some causal games! ;)

I can vouch that Smash Cat is awful. It was in another Groupees bundle, I got it, and it's abysmal. Also, it has a much larger file size than I would have guessed because of sloppy Unreal 3 compression and whatnot. It's really not a good game.

Vizati is alright, I did a few of the puzzles but I found it meh. Just a bunch of rotating the board so stuff falls where you want it to as far as I recall.

I couldn't get into Doc Clock when I played it, just not my type of puzzle/platformer game.

The other I don't know about, but I enjoy some Luxor now and then and Hidden Object games (Samantha Swift, in this case) are one of my guilty pleasures, so I'll at least pick those two up once the bundle goes live.

Had a look at the video and none of the games looks interesting to me. Guess i am getting fussy in my old age.

for now Groupees aren't working

the local games are unavailable (non steam games) download link
"Game file tempararily unavailable"

Not much into casual games, but how is Vizati ? Think I saw it on GG at one point, and thought about getting it .

Hmm I'll wait for the 1 game offer to pick up Samanta Swift, hidden objects are good to me..

Might grab a few from this one, depends on how they strike me on the day. Doc Clock seems to be popular enough, so could be worth seeing what folks like about it. Nice to see them all DRM-free, too.

Samantha Swift seems familiar too, could be a decent grab as well.

Because we're off course, I'll just throw this tidbit out there for others to see ;-)

Not sure how causal all these things are but it was way too choice not to share.

Samantha Swift is what started me playing HOG's. Not convinced by any of the others, but since I recently bought one Groupees game bundle for music and another for a comic book, I'll keep my eyes on the extras. (And the 1 game for $0.75 sale.)

Oy gomen, that's baka meshuggeneh.

Bah. Again a thing with "casual" in the title and again no time management games. Give me my restaurant/bar/hotel/spa/supermarket/bakery management fix already, jeez.
Also, who do I have to disembowel for a new Cake Mania, hmm?

As far as this pack is, I would recommend people pick up Luxor Evolved from it, it isn't anything special gameplay wise but the whole style change from the usual Egypt-theme makes it feel speedy, fast and really good fun to play.

Interestingly, after this bundle, 6 games from the Mumbo Jumbo pack on steam will have been bundled.
