The Casual Entertainment Label of Electronic Arts has teamed up with Beanbag Studios to launch a new line of video games under the For Dummies label. What’s that mean? Apparently a bunch of repackaged casual games with the words For Dummies tacked on after their name.
First up, Poker for Dummies, which teaches gamers to play Texas Hold ‘Em, Omaha and Seven-Card Stud. Over the coming months EA Casual plans to release Solitaire for Dummies, Sudoku for Dummies, Brain Training for Dummies and Travel Games for Dummies.
I guess I’m going to have to see how this differentiates itself from the flood of other poker, Sudoku and travel games that have already flooded the market. Hopefully it won’t just mean a bunch of bad black and white cartoons.
