Casual Game: The Game uses a special wireless-control wand covered with buttons. Using this control, your job is to scan through a large number of audio-visual “entertainment streams” to find the one you enjoy the most.
Once you’ve picked one, you can control the volume of the audio, the brightness of the screen and, for advanced casual gamers, the tint. —Lore Sjöberg —The Games Nobody Lines Up to Play (Wired)
