Casual Friday casual game update for July 20, 2012

Good morning everyone! I have good news and bad news for today’s casual game update. Let’s start with the bad – there were only four games released this week, with two playable on Windows and Mac. Oddly enough, match-3 games are in the majority this week.

The good news, however, is that the Steam Summer Sale is still on! You can get some utterly fantastic Windows and Mac games there for at 30% until July 22, 2012. Steam has serious and casual games, so either way you’re covered.

So let’s buckle down, breeze through this week’s casual update and get back to Steam. We’re missing flash sales!

This week’s best bet is: Go check out the Steam Summer Sale and find something good and cheap there.
