Why do you need a napkin? There are two reasons: (1) you are a casual gamer and will drool over what
Gyromancer has to offer or (2) you are someone who acts like they don't enjoy casual games but is lying and will drool over what
Gyromancer has to offer.
Square Enix and PopCap games delivered their love-child to the world today. You can pick it up on XBLA (1200 points) and Steam ($15). Instead of passing out cigars they have decided to release more screen shots and a new game play video.
Once you've gazed upon the media offerings you can use the aforementioned napkin to clean the drool from your chin and desk.
