This week's issue of Weekly Famitsu has an interview with Dylan Cuthbert of Kyoto-based developer Q-Games. The double-page spread reveals Q-Games' latest project, PixelJunk, which is being designed as a series of "casual games" for download from the PS3's PlayStation Store. We've taken some shots of the first PixelJunk images, as seen on the pages Famitsu, for your perusal. Pictured are three titles in the very early stages of development, including what looks like a static-screen top-down racer and another game that has Lemmingsy overtones. Q-Games is in talks with SCEA to bring PixelJunk to the West.

People who spend 600$ on a gaming machine don't play casual games.
People who have 600$ to spend on a gaming machine usually also have computers which can download a zillion free casual games if they actually played casual games.

Foil_Goon: I spent the $600 on my PS3... And I also sometimes play my Wii - I play casual games. So I think you're inaccurate.
You should look at it the other way: If you bought a PS3, which has essentially been, for these first months, a non-LIVE-enabled 360 for $100-200 more, you're likely interested in weird software that isn't also on the Wii or the 360.
That racing game looks like Atari's arcade SuperSprint, certainly not a 'casual' game - or is 'casual games' the new way to say 'takes place on one screen?'

This looks interesting to me, I'll definitely check it out.

Personally, I WOULD consider "graphical update to a 21-year-old graphical update to a 33-year-old game" to fall under the aegis of "casual gaming", yes.
