Free Games and Sales: The Shadow Sun, Snuggle Truck and more!
By Joe Jasko
Now that the craziness of the holidays has finally started to settle down (and by default, the craziness of enormous holiday gaming sales all around the web), we can finally take a breather and get to playing all of those great titles we managed to scoop up at next-to-nothing prices over the last couple of days.But don't worry, even though it's a bit slow this week in terms of free games and sales, we've still got you covered with a sweet bundle or two. From indie game bundles galore, to the last remaining hours of a waning winter sale, you still have a chance to build up those holiday backlogs with a few more games on the dollar this weekend."And as always, if you happened to find another deal peeking out from the snow that we may have missed, you can let us all know about it down in the replies below!PopCap CEO Dave Roberts to retire next week
By Joe Jasko
It has been reported today that Dave Roberts will be stepping down as CEO from PopCap Games effective next week, as the studio responsible for Plants vs. Zombies and Peggle plans to get back to their development roots for 2014. In addition, chief game designer Jason Kapalka will also been leaving the PvZ studio shortly. Taking over Roberts' position will be the last remaining co-founder of PopCap, John Vechey. Will this usher in a new era for the popular developer of casual games?If anything, it seems that PopCap's plans for the future are a little bit mixed right now. On the one hand, Vechey has been quoted in an exclusive interview with GamesBeat as saying "PopCap's mission right now is to create the greatest mobile game studio in the world, and we're going to do that by only making games that are beloved by players." Yet in the same interview, it is also stated that PopCap plans to expand beyond the realm of mobile going forward, in attempt to "get back to the place where we used to be.""For a while, it was looking like PopCap's efforts might be shifting to exclusively focus on free-to-play mobile games, but now that's looking less likely thanks to these recent comments. PopCap certainly had an interesting 2013 as far as game releases were concerned. They first caused controversy by releasing the long-awaited Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time exclusively on iOS platforms, with an Android release coming a few months after, and PC gamers still anxiously waiting for their turn at the game. And then in an even more surprising move, the highly-anticipated Peggle 2 was released exclusively for Microsoft's next-gen home gaming console, the Xbox One.But regardless of what systems they ultimately appear on, more original IPs and sequels from PopCap in 2014 could never be a bad thing: at least if you're planning on getting any work done this year (I've lost days of my life just to Peggle alone!).2014 Predictions from Gamezebo’s Founder, Joel Brodie
By Joel Brodie
Looking over how well I did with my 2013 game predictions (>50% accuracy, thank you very much), the pressure is on for this year. Do I play it safe (e.g., say Zynga will shed another 25% of its staff in layoffs) or throw caution in the wind?You know the answer. Let's go game prediction crazy!"Games Like Candy Crush Saga
By Joe Jasko
In our nice little corner of the gaming world, King's match-3 puzzle hybrid Candy Crush Saga has become the Grand Theft Auto V, the Beyoncé, and The New York Yankees all rolled up into one. Simply put, the game is huge. And when a new game manages to take the entire industry by storm like Candy Crush did, well you know what that means: tons of clones from other developers begin popping up to try and recapture the magic of the original.You've probably already played a game or two that was somewhat "like" Candy Crush Saga before, and so we thought it'd only be fitting to gather a list of some of the best like-minded experiences we've seen in one convenient place for you right here. And if you're ever planning on making your own match-3 game that plays like Candy Crush Saga, you'll want to include candy, jewels, or fruit, and throw in the word "mania" at the end of your title!2014 Predictions from Gamezebo’s Associate Editor, Joe Jasko
By Joe Jasko
Making predictions can always be a dangerous thing, because when you're actually right about something, there's no quicker way to making you feel like the next Nostradamus. Well right now, I think there's only one gaming prediction that can be made with 100% certainty of it actually happening: 2014 is going to bring some wonderful new gaming experiences! But you didn't need me to tell you that, now did you? Let's try and make some more specific predictions about the future of video games, shall we?Yesterday we got to see some 2014 predictions from Gamezebo's Editor-in-Chief Jim Squires, but today it's my turn. And I've decided to delve into everything from book publishers creating more video games, to Nintendo's reluctant future in the mobile games space. Think I'm right? Think I couldn't be more wrong? Weigh in with your thoughts on my predictions down in the replies, and let us know what YOU think the gaming world will have in store for 2014!"Nidhogg finally launching on January 13th
By Jim Squires
And they said it would never happen. Nidhogg, the two-player fencing game that's been a staple of the indie gaming scene and an award winner since 2010, is finally being released to the public. On more than one occasion the press who've gone hands on have called this "the perfect game," so if it wasn't on your radar before, it should be.Unlike earlier builds that have made the rounds at different events over the last few years, the public release of Nidhogg appears to feature a single player campaign. Those looking for the game's touted multiplayer don't have to worry, though; the release trailer below also showcases a tournament mode that supports 8 players.We've heard endlessly good things about this one over the last few years, and can't wait to see if it lives up to hype. Let's find out together when the game hits Steam on January 13.Deal of the Day: 17 Command & Conquer games for $4.99
By Jim Squires
If you've been a PC gamer anytime in the last 20 years, you probably have fond memories of playing Command & Conquer at some point. In my case, it was playing Red Alert at launch back in '96. I must've played that thing 'til my clicking finger gave out.Whatever game your mind goes to, it's almost definitely in Command & Conquer: The Ultimate Collection. Featuring 17 games from the series past, I'm tempted to say it's everything that ever released under the Command & Conquer banner (but I'd also be lying, because Tiberium Alliances is a thing). Normally $19.99, you can pick it up right now for 75% off. That's $4.99 for 17 games, right up to 2010's Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight.Click here to check out the whole list of games and/or to pick up this incredible deal before it disappears.2014 Predictions from Gamezebo’s Editor-in-Chief, Jim Squires
By Jim Squires
I'm entering into this year's predictions far more humble than I did 2013's. Why? Because I got everything wrong last year. But that's ok - life is a learning experience, and I've learned to keep my predictions a tad more realistic. So with that in mind, I'M GONNA PREDICT SO HARD YOUR FACE IS GOING TO MELT.Can I break the bad predictions curse? We'll find out in twelve months. See you in 2015, doubters!!(Geez, I really hope I got it right this time).
