Ever since the dawn of mankind, as defined as since the release of FarmVille, Zynga has had the number one app on Facebook in terms of daily average users (DAU’s) until now.

Today, OMGPOP’s Draw Something is officially the most popular app on Facebook with 10.8 million DAU’s, compared to Words with Friends with 8.6 million DAU’s according to AppData.

Welcome to another Friday, where everything old is new again. This week in gaming news brought with it some hope for an injection of life into ancient properties like Baldur's Gate. Also in the news: cats are taking up gaming, Diablo III finally gets a release date, and hey, what's this about a potential Elder Scrolls MMOG?

Draw Something is a hit iOS and Android game that encourages you to, er, draw something. If you've ever played Pictionary, you have a good idea of how Draw Something works, though your guessing audience is an anonymous internet group instead of a high-strung family member ("It's dignity, Luann! Don't you know dignity when you see it?"). In other words, there's not a whole lot of complication or backstory behind Draw Something, but according to rumor, that's not going to stop developer OMGPOP from putting together a TV show based on the game.

It’s an exciting day for Apple and its gamers as iPad 3 is officially released today with retina display and promise of faster game play with out-of-this-world graphics. But it’s not all good news in Cupertino. Bloomberg BusinessWeek has written an excellent article about “Anarchy in the App Store.”

Yes, I just made that term up. Actually, the biggest buzzwords from walking the halls of the Game Developer Conference (GDC) are freemium and free-to-play (“f2p”) which apparently are two technically different terms but to me mean the exact same thing. Every company plans to release games that are free to play to start, but encourage purchases to keep playing. Some vocal players may gripe, but they are in the minority since games are making a lot more money with freemium than any other model out there.

Sunside Games, the studio behind the upcoming iOS title Crow, will be releasing the game's Radiance engine as open-source software in the near future.

One of the major problems facing iPhone 3D games is the issue of movement. Some games have tried to superimpose buttons and joysticks on the screen, which in my estimation is a terrible way to try to navigate game space. With Brandnew Boy, developer Oozoo has come up with an elegant and surprisingly effective way to move—unfortunately, that is about the long and short of what is good about the game.

The cats have taken over our beds, sprawled out on our favorite sections of the couch, and bogarted those rare, tiny patches of sunlight that seep into our houses in the dead of winter. Now cats are getting into video games, starting with You vs. Cat for the iPad. Will this madness--this fuzzy, whiskered, pink-nosed madness--never end?

It seems martial artists come in all shapes and sizes these days. Bulkypix’s new Kung Fu Rabbit takes platforming into the realm of Asian mysticism, and though the adventure might start out in grasshopper mode, the forces of evil soon call upon a true gaming master.

Fox and Gameloft are announcing that Ice Age Village will be coming to mobile platforms (likely iOS and Android) later this spring. What exactly does this mean for Ice Age fans?

When we last played Gardenscapes, Playrix offered us a chance to create the garden of our dreams by completing tons of hidden object scenes in order to earn money via a never-ending yard sale. Now that the garden is the talk of the town, plenty of friends want to come and visit. Unfortunately we’ve spent so much time out in the garden that we’ve completely forgotten about the sad state of the mansion itself! In Gardenscapes: Mansion Makeover, you’ll need to throw another yard sale in order to purchase upgrades for your mansion before your friends arrive.

As part of the launch festivities surrounding Rovio’s upcoming Angry Birds Space, it has teamed up with MTV and their “A THIN LINE” campaign that fights cyber-bullying and discrimination to allow you to earn an extra level.

We cover plenty of new games here at Gamezebo every week, but the number of games we’ve already covered that show up on new platforms? It’s staggering. Starting this Wednesday and continuing every week, we’ll be rounding up the games that aren’t quite new, but might be new to you depending on your platform of choice.

Last week, Josh and I were lucky enough to attend this year's Game Developer's Conference in San Francisco. Held at the Moscone Center in the heart of downtown, GDC is the world's largest professionally-focused video game event - and a hell of a good time.

Besides some excellent networking, and some post-"networking" hangovers, the week gave us a first-hand look at some ways the game industry continues to change. So from two first time GDC-ers to you, here are three industry lessons you need to know for 2012.

Some complex financial news this morning as we have just learned that Zynga will be pursuing a secondary stock offering in the hopes of raising $400 million. However, and here’s where things get tricky, only a specific class of stocks are going to be sold and the driving purpose behind the move is not to raise money for the company, but rather to force those already holding stock to hang onto it for a longer term.

Ninjas are meant to be stealthy dealers of silent death. However, if they’re anything like the characters in Shinobi ZIN then you can likely see them coming a mile away and dispatch them with minimal difficulty. What starts off as a promising action-puzzler quickly collapses under its own weight as it tries to be too clever for its own good.

The creators of the 2010 hit Mega Jump have just announced their follow-up title, the similarly-named Mega Run. The game will once again star the adorable monstrosity Redford, but that’s about the only similarity, as the new title will fundamentally change the dynamics of the franchise.

So, remember how we just told you about Playdek adapting Nightfall into an iOS game? Well it seems the company doesn’t plan to stop there, as they’ve also announced a new partnership with GMT Games that will see the Commands & Colors franchise making its way to mobile devices as well.

You can race on the ground in a plethora of endless titles on iOS, but in a unique twist, Sky Gnomes looks to be the first one to let you race to be the first to the ground.

One genre which has been absolutely exploding on iOS is the gaggle of card and board games being translated onto touch screens. We’ve lost track of how many real-world games have popped up on mobile devices, and now we’ve found out that another heavy-hitter is on the way. Playdek has announced that they are just a few short weeks away from launching Nightfall on iOS devices.
