Happy Black Friday! If you’re reading this, then presumably you decided not to brave the crowds to indulge in the amazing sales. Or, perhaps you’re waiting for the more low-key Cyber Monday on November 30, 2009.

It’s been a pretty robust week in terms of casual game releases. There’s a nice mix of games from many different genres available, so there’s a good chance you’ll find something suited to your particular tastes. Take a quick read through, and find something to play on your day off.

This week’s best bets are: Hotel Dash: Suite Success (PC) and Amazing Adventures: The Caribbean Secret (PC)…

If you’re looking for a way to get into the holiday season for free, then it could be time to check out the Playrix website. As Casual Friday readers may know, Playrix is famous for its series of match-3/aquarium building Fishdom series of games. Just in time for the holidays, Playrix has announced that browser-based, demo versions of Fishdom: Harvest Splash and Fishdom: Frosty Splash are now online.

It’s really easy to start playing. Just click one of the links above to get to the Thanksgiving-themed Fishdom: Harvest Splash or the Christmas-themed Fishdom: Frosty Splash. Wait for the game to load up in your browser, and then use your mouse to start playing. Both games have brief tutorials to help you learn what you’re doing.

Think of them as demos…
