Puzzle & Dragons gets new Batman: Arkham Origins special event
By Joe Jasko
It was only a week ago today when we first told you that GungHo Online Entertainment's incredibly popular Puzzle & Dragons had launched a second special cross-promotional event with Supercell's Clash of Clans. Well now it looks like Puzzle & Dragons is spreading the love even further, and this time around the game is even getting some crime-fighting and gadget-wielding bats involved.That's right! GungHo Online Entertainment has just announced a brand new collaborative event between Puzzle & Dragons and Batman: Arkham Origins, which just saw a fantastic mobile release earlier this month as well. Taking the form of a brand new Batman: Arkham Origins-themed dungeon, the new Puzzle & Dragons content will allow players to collect such superheroes and villains as Batman, Robin, Catwoman, and even The Joker, and add them to their monster boxes via a special Egg Machine."The new Batman: Arkham Origins special event will be going live in Puzzle & Dragons starting tomorrow October 30, 2013, and is set to run through Tuesday, November 12, 2013.Taking Play Seriously: How Video Games Can Have a Positive Effect on Our Kids
Like all fathers, I want the best for my kids. And like all parents, I have that innate desire to provide them with a healthy environment that nourishes in every way possible. But apps don't come with the equivalent of nutrition labels, and I'm often frustrated to find myself in the dark, unable to tell just what it is that my kids are consuming. That's a big problem. Keeping up with the casual gaming market is harder than keeping up with the Kardashians. Casual gaming is expected to mushroom to an astonishing $8.64 billion by next year, and it's clear that a large portion of casual gamers are children and young adults. This leaves us parents in a lurch: with thousands of titles out there to choose from, and with life growing busier by the minute, how might we tell what's valuable and what's dross?This question is particularly vexing to someone like myself; in addition to being a dad—my first and most important job—I run a successful gaming studio that produces apps for kids. When we started TabTale, my partners and I knew that we weren't going to be in the educational games market, but we also realized that we would never want to produce something we wouldn't like our own kids to play with.Check out these Star Wars: Tiny Death Star screenshots

By Jim Squires
Along with a handful of other notable press outlets, Gamezebo was recently given the opportunity to tour the Stockholm studios of King, the casual games giant behind titles like Candy Crush Saga and Farm Heroes Saga.We learned a lot about the business of being a leading cross-platform developer, yet despite all of the facts and figures thrown our way, one learning stood out above everything else: King's employees are happy. Not just "there's press here, plaster on a fake smile" happy, but really, genuinely happy. After seeing how the day-to-day operates, it's not hard to see why.Free Games and Sales: Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, Splice and more!

By Joe Jasko
Everyone's favorite tribal inhabitants known as the Pygmies are coming back next week in a brand new arcade spin-off game of sorts, and it seems like they're bringing their questionable love of dangerous things along with them! Developed from Bolt Creative, the same studio that brought us the insanely popular Pocket God, the upcoming Pocket God: Ooga Jump will be a vertical jumping game that is set to take the Pygmies all the way to the highest jungle treetops.In the game, players will use their device's tilt-based controls to help their Pygmy character pull off a number of massive jumps, in order for the little guys to bounce higher and higher and collect as many gems and items as possible! But of course, as we've already learned from our time spent with Pocket God, the world can be a particularly dangerous place for the Pygmies; and as such, they'll have to avoid a number of hazardous obstacles and hostile island animals if they ever want to make it back down to land in one piece.And those specific hazards and hostiles will come aplenty: from fiery falling meteors, to hungry spiders, to rabid monkeys hell-bent on catching the Pygmies and using their skin as some horrible flesh-based monkey masks, our fearless little heroes are going to need all of the help they can get! Pocket God: Ooga Jump will be released for iOS devices on October 31, 2013 for $0.99, and in the meantime, you can check out the debut trailer of the bouncing Pygmies in action right within this article.Rayman Fiesta Run gets a release date
By Joe Jasko
Ubisoft has announced this morning that their highly anticipated new platform-runner game Rayman Fiesta Run will be released for both iOS and Android devices on November 7, 2013. Alongside this exciting announcement, Ubisoft has also released an exclusive new developer diary video, to give everyone some extra insight as to the kind of thought and dedication that has gone into making the upcoming mobile title.A direct sequel to 2012's wonderfully received Rayman Jungle Run, Rayman Fiesta Run will mark a return to the pitch-perfect one-touch controls that find Rayman platforming his way through a number of colorful stages inspired by the console and PC game, Rayman Origins. This time around, Rayman's adventure will take him to a fiery new world full of dancing maracas, hot pepper disco balls, and enemy piñatas! Players will also have the chance to engage in some epic boss fights for the first time, as well as compare their high scores with their friends in 75 brand new levels.Rayman Jungle Run was personally one of my favorite mobile releases in all of 2012, and so I for one couldn't be more excited about the release of Rayman Fiesta Run in the next few weeks. Who else is going to be doing some platforming with me across all of fiesta land come early November? Let us know in the replies!
