Casual Friday: Update for August 1-7, 2009

We’ve gone from a casual game drought to a casual game downpour. This week had a much better selection of games than last week, spanning a wide variety of genres. We’ve got new match-3, hidden object, time management, RPG and visual novels out this week, ready to be played.

This week I’m recommending 3 Tones, Bionic Heart and Aveyond: Gates of Night as this week’s top three games, as all three offer unique casual game experiences. Also, this week marks the release of Party Planner and The Lost Inca Prophesy, which are appearing on practically every casual games site.

This week’s best bets are: 3 Tones (PC), Bionic Heart (PC, Mac, Linux) and Aveyond: Gates of Night (PC).
