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.

    Hands in your pocket: gaming’s misguided battle for your second screen

    By

    A few months ago, I talked about a shocking addiction rocking a huge amount of the population, including perhaps you yourself. The culprit? Mobile devices. Among smartphone owners, 80% are now so glued to their mini-PCs that they surf, IM and game while watching other media. And 15% of that 80? They do it instead of watching. Looking now at some of the major announcements from this year's game conference season, it seems I'm definitely not the only one watching these numbers.

    Pocket Planes Review

    With Tiny Tower, Nimblebit created something rare in the world of iOS: a phenomenon. Downloaded over ten million times, awarded Game of the Year by Apple themselves, and widely billed as an addictive substance, their micro-business sim. set the bar - not only for the genre, but for themselves. So when the brothers Marsh announced they'd once again be returning to the iconic world of the bitizens, the stakes were high. I guess it's a good thing they brought planes this time.

    Here at Gamezebo, we get a lot of press releases. As I type this to you right now, I'm swimming in press releases. Wearing a bathing suit made of press releases. In all seriousness, though, not everything can make the cut. But when the already fast-growing game startup by the name of Peak e-mailed to tell us that they were in fact growing explosively? I took notice. Why? Because now they're outpacing Facebook themselves.

    Fix-It Felix Jr. Review

    When Disney released the trailer for this November's upcoming Wreck-It Ralph, the reaction among Gamezebo writers was one of near-unanimous joy. And then, almost immediately, our wheels began turning. "Disney has to be releasing a Fix-It Felix video game, right? They'd be crazy not to!" As of tonight, however, the big D proved they're most definitely not crazy. Or that they have freaky hearing.

    No Red T-Shirts Review

    Usually, when something goes wrong during the creation of artificially intelligent robots, violence and warfare ensue. Slave turns on master, and the human race learns a very hard lesson about the risks of greed and technology. Need proof? Look no further than I, Robot, Terminator, or Minority Report. Looking to buck the trend, however, Namco Bandai's latest App Store release No Red T-Shirts tells a much different tale. One where everything turns out out fine... literally.

    Facebook App Center goes live, could teach Apple a thing or two

    Early last month, we reported that Facebook was prepped and ready to launch their very own directory to help users navigate the chaotic waters of the site's many apps and games. At the time, there was no formal word however on whether "prepped and ready" meant launch was four weeks, or four months away. Today - almost exactly one month since the reveal - Facebook flipped the switch on App Center.

    On the heels of our e-mail chat with Brawesome about valuing the games you make, a headline-catching talk with the chief of EA's Origin download service seems like the perfect way to cap off the day here at Gamezebo. In a detailed interview with gamesindustry.biz, David DeMartini dished on Origin's plans to win over the public, and his thoughts on a certain download competitor you may have heard of.

    Apologies for the delay on this one. A casualty of the E3 rush, this piece of news got lost in the Gamezebo file folder for a couple of days. Which as we all know in internet time is approximately seven hundred years. Which, coincidentally, is how long you'll be spending playing Star Wars: The Old Republic now that it's gone completely free-to-play for the first fifteen levels! See what I did there?
