Considering the growing popularity of downloading casual games, it was only a matter of time until GameStop made its move into the market. They are also offering a 50% off sale in celebration of their new cash cow.

The site is up now, and claims to be packed full of 800 casual games. That’s a whole lot of games, quality or not.

The celebratory sale the offers 31 games for 50% off, though to be clear that half off takes them all down to $9.99 each.

It’s another clear indication that casual games are getting ever bigger — they do take up around 72% of the market, after all.

Whether you care about this story or not doesn’t matter. All that matters is that John Deere: Drive Green is sitting high in the number one spot. I mean, how can you beat a tractor driving sim?
