Eli has loved mobile games since his dad showed him the magic of Game & Watch. He can't quite remember when he started loving puns.

    When it comes to Apple's App Store, the times, they certainly are a-changin'. Just this month at the company's WWDC conference, they revealed that the mobile marketplace has grown into a booming playing field full of over 650,000 games, toys, and tools. Amid all that growth, though, Apple didn't talk much about what it takes to succeed amid the competition. As it turns out, somewhere near $5 million a month.

    Dead Trigger Review

    I find myself in an odd predicament with Madifnger games. One one hand, they inarguably produce some of the best visuals I've ever seen on iOS. Their work easily matches (if not surpasses) benchmarks like Infinity Blade, and blurs the line between console and handheld. And yet, after playing their generic shooter Shadowgun, and now their newest visual feast Dead Trigger, I feel they might have the same problem your zombie hunting protagonist does: lifelessness.

    I don't always agree with everything that goes on here at Gamezebo. Take, for example, our official review of Hero Academy. My opinion falls more closer to the user reviews, which gave it a glowing 4.75. Whether it's Robot Entertainment's excellent approach to freemium, the genius of its five-move-at-a-time asynchronous play, or the lovingly crafted fantasy teams, I don't think I could like the game any more than I do. Or at least I didn't until today.

    Now I know what you're thinking, and the answer is no. We just met, and I'd like to stay friends for a little while. But seriously folks, I am in fact making a post about Twitter. Because far from being the hub for finding out what sandwich your favorite celebrity just ate, the micro-blogging platform has exploded into a place to keep in touch with relevant news from a personal angle.

    Your Turn! 6 Essential Asynchronous Games for Mobile

    If there's one thing the mobile platform has done, it's bring about a multiplayer revolution. Gone are the days where I have to suffer through my friends' taunts (or smells!) while going head-to-head. Okay, it's more than that (though let's be honest, we all knew that smelly friend).

    For every hit, every flop, and every mildly successful release in between, there are just as many theories for what makes or breaks the success of a mobile game. And with over a billion apps out there across multiple stores, that's a lot of opinions. In a bold statement at today's Game Horizon conference in Newcastle, however, one successful developer told crowds what doesn't work: promotion. Wait, what?
