    Top Ten Reasons to be Grateful This Thanksgiving

    By

    I recently joined the cast of casual crazies in Kiev for the Casuality Europe (waaaay) East Conference. Kiev, in case you're wondering, is one of the most interesting event locations I've been invited to. And while I'm sure that 50% of the reason for inviting me was for my charm and good looks, the other half must have had something to do with the interesting panel I moderated on the subject of the Casual Games Value Chain. So nice. I like. High Five!Which got me thinking: what am I thankful for this year that I could write about on Gamezebo?

A compelling fusion of differing play styles and challenge types, it'll have you pining for more - and, quite possibly, your own fedora and private investigator's license - in no time flat.
