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.

    Best iPad Games of 2011

    By

    Like most Apple devices, it didn't take the iPad too long to shine. Only in its second year, the revolutionary tablet device saw plenty of great games in 2011. As we look back on the last year, lots of those great releases stand out as worthy of attention - but only five were good enough to make our Best of 2011 list.

    Michael Jackson The Experience Review

    By

    When celebrities mesh with video games, it usually meets with disastrous results. Just look at what happened with Linkin Park, or Wesley Snipes. Michael Jackson, however, has had a pretty stellar history with the interactive medium. Remember SEGA's Moonwalker? Or Jacko's cameo in Space Channel 5? The tradition of great Jackson video games continues with the release of Michael Jackson: The Experience for the iPad.

    Batman Arkham City Lockdown Review

    By

    Batman Arkham City Lockdown borrows a few basic ideas from the Infinity Blade series, but is in no way a simple cookie cutter release. Rather than fighting an endless series of titans and waiting for a brief opening to attack, you're freakin' Batman. He's a master of all forms of combat - you didn't think he'd be the smaller dog in the fight, did you?

    Batman Arkham City Lockdown hits the App Store tonight

    By

    In a surprise move worthy of the Joker, Warner Bros will be sneaking a brand new Batman game onto the App Store tonight - and it's a doozy. As the name suggests, Batman Arkham City Lockdown takes place in the same universe as the Caped Crusader's most recent console adventure, Batman Arkham City. Though unlike the open-world nature of that title, the description is promising a series of one-on-one boss battles that Pocket Gamer are describing as "Infinity Blade-esque."

    Alec Baldwin kicked off plane because of Words with Friends

    If you're Zynga, you can't really buy better press than this. Former Jack Ryan, current Jack Donaghy, and all around jack... guy Alec Baldwin likes Words With Friends--a lot. So much so that he was ejected from an American Airlines flight Tuesday afternoon because of his love for the game, or so his spokesperson Matthew Hiltzik told CNN.

    Worst Trends of 2011

    By

    When we look back at the year that was, we like to celebrate the best of the best. But what about the absolute worst? Yep - 2011 was filled with a lot of stinkers too, and some of those lousy things popped up more often than others. That makes them trends. Awful, awful, trends. And while most of them will carry over into the next year, we're all going to close our eyes and wish real hard that we don't see any of this nonsense in 2012.

    EA’s upcoming Theme Park has premium rides that cost nearly $100

    By

    When we first caught wind that the seminal simulation title Theme Park would be getting a freemium makeover for the App Store, we met the news with a mix of nervousness and excitement. Thanks to an early Canadian release, we've now had a chance to hands on with the upcoming park management title. Whether good or bad, there's really only one word that can sum of the time we've had with the game: expensive.

    Infinity Blade II Review

    By

    Like the rest of the gaming world, Infinity Blade knocked our collective socks off when it came out in December 2010. One year, a few updates, and a novella later, Chair Entertainment has unleashed the first full on sequel to the App Store. But is Infinity Blade II really the follow up we were all hoping it could be?
