    Subscription-based gaming is coming to Facebook

    By

    It's no secret that the primary source of income for social games is in-app purchases. As a model, it works just fine. Sometimes, though, other models work better for certain games - like the subscription model, for example. It's coming to Facebook soon, and developer KIXEYE's game Backyard Monsters will be one of the first titles to feature it.

    May 24th marks the four year anniversary of the launch of the Facebook platform. On that day in 2007, in a hall crowded with hackers and dreamers, I watched Mark Zuckerberg announce on stage that "today, together, we're going to start a movement." In one fell swoop, he opened up the power of social networks - the ability for people to connect and share - to developers everywhere. What has happened since has been a wild ride.

    Halloween Treat of the Day: Backyard Monsters

    By

    Social game companies are going ga-ga over Halloween. Are game developers so amped on candy they are going crazy creating Halloween events? Or, do Halloween inspired events and items sell well (probably more of the latter). At Gamezebo, we can't possibly track all Halloween events (we still got to report on all the download and iPhone as well as Facebook games, oh my, and better to let Games.com do all the dirty work). We can pick one Facebook game a day to feature and showcase their Halloween theme. Today we feature: Backyard Monsters, a social tower defense game by The Casual Collective that is all about monsters, so they better be doing some cool Halloween event this weekend!
