And the first batch is AAA games.

(Thanks, Warp. I was trying to remember what they were called before I 
commented on the first batch. :-)

Of course, there are a lot more dimensions than this.  And I don't think 
Psychonauts falls under the "casual games" category; it's just an older 
top-flight game.

That's kind of odd, given "look and feel" lawsuits covering everything from 
greeting cards to windowing interfaces. I would think the entirety of a 
video game (especially a casual one) would fall under "look and feel."

I'm not sure this is talking about video games, given the rest of the 
paragraph. It makes much more sense if you read it in terms of something 
like board games.
