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.

    The many adventures of Gamebook Adventures [interview]

    By

    Everyone loves to snuggle up with a good book. The only real downside is that books, by their very nature, are terribly one-sided experience. Wouldn't a story be much more engaging if it were interactive? If, instead of passively reading about someone else's adventure, you could actually play a part in your own?

    Kickstarter Picks: Crystal Catacombs (again!)

    By

    For the most part, Gamezebo loves Kickstarter projects. So much so that for the better part of a year, we've been running a semi-regular series called Kickstarter Picks to highlight the best of the best of them. But have you ever wondered what happens to the games we profile after their fundraising time is up? In the case of Crystal Catacombs, a game we featured back in October, the answer isn't terribly uplifting.

    We cover plenty of new games here at Gamezebo every week, but the number of games we've already covered that show up on new platforms? It's staggering. Starting this Wednesday and continuing every week, we'll be rounding up the games that aren't quite new, but might be new to you depending on your platform of choice.

    FarmVille goes Asian in their latest expansion, Jade Falls

    By

    Here's an interesting fact you may not realize: 21 million people are still playing FarmVille every month according to AppData.com. That may be a far cry from the 80+ million that the game had at its peak, but it's still enough to keep it in the #3 slot for Facebook games. And the two games that are beating it? Zynga's other cash cows - Zynga Poker and CityVille. So while you might say "really Zynga? ANOTHER FarmVille expansion?!?" - there are 21 million farm hands that probably disagree with you.

    Bejeweled heads to Japan courtesy of PopCap and GREE

    When it comes to gaming, there are two very distinct markets out there: the East, and the West. In the West, PopCap Games is a household name. Everybody knows the folks behind lovable games like Peggle, Plants vs Zombies and Chuzzle. But in the East? Well… in some parts, PopCap does quite well, but when it comes to Japan, PopCap doesn't have a single self-published game on the market. But that's all about to change with Bejeweled Legend.

    Playdom announces three new games at E3

    By

    If you're looking for a company that's consistently churning out great Facebook games, you don't really have much further to look than Playdom. In the last six months alone, we've been treated to the likes of Marvel: Avengers Alliance, Armies of Magic, Blackwood & Bell, and Disney Animal Kingdom Explorers. So it should really come as no shock that the developer has a few new titles up their sleeve worth mentioning.
