[games_access] Survey: 'Disabled Gamers' Comprise 20% of CasualVideo Games Audience

[Barrie Ellis]

I've blogged a little on statistics that people have been recently posting 
on:

http://gameaccessibility.blogspot.com/2008/06/statistics.html

Must say that I was really pleased to find a Colour Blind option within 
PopCap's game Peggle Deluxe. Maybe they'll consider a one-button version or 
at least a much easier version - perhaps with many more balls.

I've also posted a little on Special Effect:

And I've yet to get around to posting anything on this:
