    A very early Disney-Playdom post-mortem

    By

    Chris Morrison has written what appears to be the first chapter of a book on the Disney-Playdom acquisition over at Inside Social Games. In his very long blog post and analysis (which I'm actually applauding), he questions whether Disney's $700 million acquisition of Playdom has been a "win" or "fail" so far for Disney.

    To catch a virtual thief

    By

    Paola Letizia reported someone stole 88 pounds (over $100 US) of virtual items in your abode in the social game, Pet Society. The only item the thief left ironically enough was her pet blue cat. Italian authorities are on the case. Though only virtual property was stolen, the hacker had to access Ms. Letizia's email and Facebook account to do this dastardly deed and if caught, the burglar could be arrested and sentenced to up to five years in a real prison. Somewhere at Zynga, Playfish, or some other clever social game company, someone is coming up with a virtual home burglar alarm system as a new virtual item to sell. Click here for details on the news story and contact the FBI, the Facebook Bureau of Investigations, if you know anything about the assailant. Ha ha, I just made that term up, but the story is actually true!

    Partner Spotlight: GameSnob, Game Deal and Review Aggregator

    By

    We want to start to share with you news about people we work with. One, where would we be without our friends? Two, usually when we partner with a web site or company, we like them. GameSnob is a new game review and aggregator Web site with a twist. GameSnobsorts current deals by the "Snob Factor" -- a combination of a game's price drop ("savings"), its average review score and age. Simply put, the Snob Factor reflects the "value" of a deal: deals with the largest savings on the best-reviewed and most recent games have the highest Snob Factors. GameSnob's current roster of review sites includes GameSpot, IGN, 1UP, GameSpy, GiantBomb, Pocket Gamer, Slide To Play and now, Gamezebo! It's a new site with a concept I like a lot. You can check out GameSnob here and while you are there, tell them to add our Download and Facebook game reviews to the mix as well!
