Jim Squires is the Editor-in-Chief of Gamezebo. Everything you see passes his eyes first, so we like to think of him as "the gatekeeper of cool stuff." He likes good games, great writing, and just can't say no to a hamburger. Also, he is not a bear.

    Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack Review

    By

    When you sit down to play a platformer, there's one thing you can almost always be certain of - you're going to need to fight some monsters.  But what if those monsters have a good reason for what they're doing?  What if, as humans, we've wronged them first?  Tales From Space: Mutant Blobs Attack puts the shoe on the other foot for a change, as you'll control a moody-looking mutant blob hell-bent on revenge.

    Here at Gamezebo, we've made no secret of our love for gamebooks.  Whether it's the recent releases by Tin Man Games or something more akin to a visual novel like Cinders, we love a good story that we can play with.  Looking back on a more personal note, I think my own love affair with gamebooks probably started in the same place yours did; reading the Choose Your Own Adventure series as a child.

    Jaw-dropping Unreal games aren't as common as you might think on the App Store.  And jaw-dropping Unreal games published by Zynga? That's completely unheard of.  But Horn, the first game to benefit from Zynga's mobile partnership program, manages to defy both of these trends, presenting a beautiful mobile adventure that no gamer should be without.

    HTML5 games get their own Dominion: Goko.com

    By

    It wasn't too long ago that everyone had stars in their eyes about HTML5. It was supposed to be the future of casual games.  Relatively easy to develop for, web playable on just about every platform - how could it miss? But flash forward to a year later, and it's far from the dominant programming language in gaming - and the folks behind Goko think they know why.

    Is Zynga’s next game CoasterVille?

    By

    Eagle-eyed Facebook gamers may have noticed a surprising ad in their sidebar today for a game called CoasterVille.  More surprising still was the "Zynga" logo emblazoned on the ad.  Did Zynga slyly release a new game without making any sort of an announcement whatsoever?  Not really - but it looks like it could be a hint of things to come.

    EA’s Origin service expanding to Mac, Android, Facebook, and Smart TVs

    By

    When it comes to digital distribution, few services have managed to establish a presence as strong as Steam.  EA decided it might be able to do one better with Origin, but over the last year it really hasn't gained the traction that they were probably hoping it would.  Maybe a jump to some new platforms might help the situation?
