    With Zynga Poker an obvious jewel in their social gaming crown, it seemed like it was only a matter of time before Zynga tried their hand at bringing another card game to the table. Much to our surprise, though, they've had another casino game quietly occupying their roster since 2007. Blackjack hasn't been given anywhere near the attention that Zynga's other properties have, and after a few hours with the game we started to see why.

    When I think of social games, Bingo is one of the last things that comes to mind. With the exception of the caller bellowing out the numbers, bingo halls are usually as silent as a library. People are so focussed on their own cards and their own numbers that they won't let even the simplest moment break their concentration. And yet Bingo has come to Facebook - the internet's home for everything social. Not only does Bingo embrace this social phenomenon, it does so with a tremendous degree of success.

    Egg Breaker Review

    As someone who has spent many academic hours studying human behavior I could write pages explaining why humans like slot machines. Or, I could just say, "They are really fun - particularly when you win!" Egg Breaker, a nifty little title on Facebook which has held my attention since November, curbs all of my slot machine impulses. Ok, well, most of them.

    Dice games have been around for thousands of years, yet our fascination with them has never waxed or waned. Sic bo has been played in the east for millennia. We've been playing craps in the west since the time of the Crusades. Even well into the 20th century, new games were being developed that depended heavily on dice. Where would Monopoly or Dungeons and Dragons be without them? Now, in this modern age of social networking, the dice game has been re-invented again.

    Catan Mobile Review

    By

    The Island of Catan is a happening place. It's a hopping chunk of land that's so laden with resources that it has to beat settlers off with a big stick. Everyone wants to stake their claim to a major piece of this hexagonal floating rock in a quest for supreme colonial dominance, but they'll have to plan their turf expansion and resource gathering very carefully if they want to come out ahead. Though it never quite comes to physical blows, this island competition can get pretty cutthroat in a hurry.

    Trivial Pursuit Review

    By

    As an absolute trivia nerd, I met the announcement of Trivial Pursuit for the iPhone with both excitement and dread. Trivia nerds around the world agree, there are two things that Trivial Pursuit is known for; insanely difficult questions and creating a fantastic group experience. But the iPhone is aimed at keeping things simple, and generally focuses on the single player. Could EA somehow overcome these cross-purposes and make a great portable trivia experience despite this situation?
