By Joel Brodie
Another CES in Las Vegas has come and gone, and I have opted to skip the festivities. Maybe it's because the one year I did CES in Vegas it was so crowded that I had to wait three hours for a monorail (there were no taxis), and even longer for blackjack table. Maybe it's that after staring 10,000 versions of the same flat screen TV, my mind turns to jelly. Or maybe I'm a homebody.Thankfully, the rest of tech press don't mind consumer product overload. Here are five cool game trends or products to come out of CES this year. On the whole, 2014 could be a good year for games.Free Games and Sales: To the Moon, Amoebattle and more!

Here's a question for all you deal hunters out there: how long does it usually take from the time you see a great new gaming sale pop up on the internet to the time you hit that enticing "purchase" button? Are you more of an impulse buyer who immediately picks up something the second you see it? Or are you a bit more cautious, and prefer to mull it over for a bit before deciding one way or another?Well I'll tell you what: I've always considered myself to fall under the latter category, as the type of person who would wait to the last possible second before scooping up the hottest new gaming deal. But that was until this week, that is, when so many amazing new deals and indie gaming bundles began cropping up online and forced me to blindly spend all of my money before I even had a second to realize what I was doing. But that's okay, because the new games I got made it so, so worth it."And so if there are any other deals going on this weekend that I may have missed due to my lightning-fast online purchases, be sure to point them out for everyone down in the replies!This Week in China: Everybody loves a summit
By Jim Squires
Whether it's GDC, Casual Connect, or even MIGS, who doesn't love a good gaming conference? It's no different in China, where they recently held the first China Mobile Gaming Annual Summit. As you can probably guess, announcements were made both in and out of the conference this week, and as always, we're ready to serve them up hot and fresh and ready to order.Once again we'd like to thank our friends at Laohu.com, the Beijing-based website that gratefully gathers up China's top stories for Gamezebo to share with their readers each week. If you're looking for even more Chinese news than this, be sure to give Laohu.com a visit.Assassin’s Creed Pirates gets new missions and more in first major update
By Joe Jasko
Once a pirate, always a pirate is what they say! Even when you've found yourself at the end of a mighty fine lootin' and shootin' journey out to sea, there's always another adventure just lying in wait around the corner: especially when it comes to Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Pirates. And in true Assassin's Creed fashion, the new content has already started rolling out less than a month after the game's initial release, to keep you cruising across the Seven Seas while the wind is still fresh in your sails.The bulk of the update is centered on a brand new campaign mission that's set around a gorgeous new map called Nassau. The Nassau map is said to bring a higher level of challenge into the fold, as seasoned Pirates players will now have to master new dodging mechanics, which effectively let them take down enemy cannonballs in mid-air. 10 new side missions will also accompany the new campaign, leading way for more treasures to be uncovered and more ships to be unlocked."And finally, the first Pirates update will also be adding in a new social component that allows all mobile buccaneers to compare their journey at sea with other players in the game. We happened to think that Assassin's Creed Pirates was a pretty fine swashbuckling good time when we reviewed the game back in December, and so more of the same surely won't disappoint. The new update is officially available today for both iOS and Android versions of the game.Game of Thrones Ascent: After a year of success, a mobile future looms
By Nick Tylwalk
Disruptor Beam got a pretty nice present from Facebook just before the holidays. It came in the form of Facebook's games team naming Game of Thrones Ascent a staff pick as one of the top games to debut on the social network in 2013.Though Game of Thrones Ascent isn't just a Facebook game since it's playable through more than one site (and will be headed to mobile, which we'll get to in a bit), the nod was still a significant one. For starters, it served as a validation that high quality games can succeed on the network even at a time when the total number of people is down from its peak a few years ago.It also helped reinforce the idea that Disruptor Beam is doing things right when it comes to its story-driven, highly social take on Westeros. Ideally, it serves as a way for hardcore Game of Thrones fans to be able to interact with their favorite fantasy world, an attractive way for core gamers to get compelling gameplay in bite-sized chunks, and as a "gateway drug" for people who know the IP but have yet to dive into the books or the HBO television series.That's a tall order, but as Disruptor Beam CEO Jon Radoff told Gamezebo in a recent phone conversation, the game does indeed seem to be reaching all three audiences.The LEGO Gamer Bundle for Mac
