    Mobile: the ultimate “everyone” platform for PopCap

    By

    The recent announcement regarding the availability of PopCap's Chuzzle and Plants Vs Zombies on the Android platform is important for us first and foremost because it will make our games available to a very large and vocal user base, which has been clamoring for us to make them available on Android devices. After the exclusive distribution period with Amazon in the US, we'll be gradually rolling out the games on global channels, in line with our goal to reach the widest possible audience with products that are accessible everywhere, for everyone.

    Social games in the US and Asia: Why looks deceive

    By

    Sit any Restaurant City player in front of RenRen Restaurant, one of the most popular games on the eponymous Chinese social network, and he or she will likely start decorating their eatery without hesitation: the game is, by all accounts, extremely similar to the one available on Facebook and beloved by bored office workers worldwide. At the same time, plop a FarmVille addict in front of its Chinese equivalent Happy Farm, and the familiar patterns of fledgling corn fields, lost cows and wayward tractors will play out on the screen.Never mind that Happy Farm was actually launched before its Facebook counterpart and was possibly the inspiration for the record-busting farming hit game: similar themes, game mechanics and content are found across social networks around the world, and people are farming eagerly everywhere, no matter if on FarmVille (US ), Happy Farm (China), Sunshine Ranch (Japan) or even Cheerful Peasant (Russia).
