By Eli Cymet
You know the old adage, "addicted to videogames?" The one that parents like to bandy around when they want their kids to stop playing and do their homework, or when they're cavorting with other baby-boomers about the ills of today's media-driven society?

We're at a point where it's almost harder to find stores that don't carry Angry Birds merchandise than the ones that do.

Here's how:The 5 arcade games Zynga should make next
It's no secret that Zynga has spent the year trying to diversify their portfolio a little farther than games with the word "Ville" in them. Whether it's dropping a fine $200 million to acquire OMGPOP and Draw Something, jumping into the popular bubble-popping genre to make Bubble Safari, or putting one of its purchased entities to use to use with the brand-new announcement of Zombie Swipeout, it's clear that Zynga is trying to branch out.Best Crowdfunding Websites and Services
Crowdfunding sounds easy (just put up a page on Kickstarter and watch the bucks roll in for your new video game project), and on the surface, it may very well be so - at least in principle.
