    Knights of the Rose Preview

    By

    Everyone loves a stealthy game launch. When the game in question, Knights of the Rose, is being distributed by Row Sham Bow - the company behind Gamezebo's runner-up for 2011 Facebook Game of the Year, Woodland Heroes - it's even more intriguing. And when said game's website claims that it is "an epic tactical RPG that brings one of the deepest gaming experiences to Facebook," you'd better believe we want to know more.

    In the pantheon of ideas whose time has come, a social sports betting game ranks pretty high. Now it's a reality in the form of the simply named Sports Casino by RocketPlay, a company made up of social gaming and gambling industry veterans. Available on both Facebook and Zynga.com as part of Zynga's initiative to publish games from other developers, it's got the potential to draw in people who wouldn't ordinarily touch social games.

    Exclamation points are overused by many of us these days (I'm certainly guilty!), but there are times where they're warranted to convey excitement or call attention to something. Noted social game developer Digital Chocolate deciding to use Slots! as the name for its new Facebook slots game seems like it could be one of those times. Does the freemium slots title live up to its punctuation? Let's find out.

    Guy vs The Wicked and Nefarious Land Review

    It's a story with which we can all relate: Guy hits on king's daughter, king promises the daughter's hand in marriage if the guy can clear out a land full of monsters. You know, everyday stuff. This story plays out as a high energy action game with liberal doses of laughs in Guy vs The Wicked and Nefarious Land, a test of reflexes and wits from developer Cog Monkeys.

    Most of the attention given to social gambling games that might someday be able to accept real money wagers has centered on slots and other casino games. Maybe too much, actually, because one very popular form of gambling has been overlooked: sports betting. Now some people who know a little bit about that subject are hoping to claim that turf as their own with Sports Casino, conveniently timed to go live on Facebook and Zynga.com on the first day of the 2012 NFL season.

    Blood & Glory Legend Review

    It seems that one good riff on Infinity Blade deserves another. Glu Games did it once before with Blood & Glory, and now they're getting right back in the arena with Blood & Glory: Legend. The gameplay is much the same as you swipe your way through brutal freemium gladiatorial battles on iOS and Android, but there's more of just about everything else.

    Campaign Story Review

    Both of my parents ran for public office when I was growing up, and I always thought it seemed like a tiring, thankless process. They assured me it was fulfilling, though, and now you can find out for yourself thanks to Campaign Story by 519 Games. This freemium Facebook game allows you to work your way up the political ranks by running from everything from mayor to emperor. Okay, maybe not emperor, but you get the picture.

    Robot Rising Review

    Chances are that if I told you there was a game that played like a sci-fi version of Diablo but was free on Facebook, you'd blow me off with a sarcastic quip about your flying horse. As it turns out, you'd better tell Pegasus to saddle up, because Robot Rising from Stomp Games is that game, and it's so good that it might shake up your notions about what's possible inside a web browser.
