Welcome Back, PC Games!

If you’re a regular reader here at GZ, you probably know that Gamezebo joined the iWin family earlier this year. From the moment that happened, the iWin team has worked furiously behind the scenes to learn what you, the Gamezebo reader, wanted most from the site. After numerous public surveys and internal discussions, there was one thing that became abundantly clear: everybody missed casual PC gaming.

So we’re bringing it back.

Effective immediately, Gamezebo will return to the days when it covered casual experiences on both PC and mobile — and this is only the start! We’ve taken your questions, concerns, and opinions to heart, and are working on a redesign for the site that should make the things you want from Gamezebo easier to find, no matter what types of games you play.

Ready to dive back into the world of casual PC gaming? Our first new PC reviews in nearly two years are already live, and can be found here.

But if you can't run and play in the sun, how are you going to pass the time? With a few new games from Big Fish, of course!

Spil Games to invest $5 million in the development of HTML5 games
By Joe Jasko
Spil Games, the leading global company for all things online gaming, has announced a $5 million investment today to be put towards the creation of HTML5 games. All in all, that lump sum of $5 million will be delegated to developers creating brand new gaming experiences, as well as updating existing ones to fit the new HTML5 foundation. Spil Games also plans to put some of that money towards the marketing of their own games, which currently enjoy more than 180 million users each month.In case you might be unfamiliar with the prospects of HTML5 as it continues to make its mark on the gaming industry and the world of technology at large, it is essentially a more fluid and flexible markup language for making content on the internet. But the biggest draw of the new coding language for game developers is that it can be utilized by a number of different platforms and mediums, such as mobile devices, which could potentially allow them to bring their games to a far larger number of platforms without sacrificing the additional time and resources needed to create an entirely new port."Of course, as if often to be expected with any kind of new or emerging technology, HTML5 has experienced a fairly slow adoption from the majority of game developers so far; however, Spil Games feels this is all about to change, and that 2014 will truly be the year for HTML5-founded games to truly explode. And just in case you didn't believe them, Spil Games CEO Erik Goossens has already stated the company's plans to launch 500 brand new HTML5 games over the course of 2014 alone! HTML500 anyone?
