I'm still not sure I'm happy with this classification. It seems to be 
based more on how much budget a game has, rather than how you actually 
play it.

For example, there's a bunch of recent games using motion control and 
related technologies which clearly follow the "you control an 
essentially human character in an essentially real world setting", and 
yet is clearly aimed at Mr & Mrs Average Human, so it's probably 
considered casual.

Perhaps a more accurate classification would be "first person and third 
person games" and "everything else".
