    FarmVille goes Asian in their latest expansion, Jade Falls

    By

    Here's an interesting fact you may not realize: 21 million people are still playing FarmVille every month according to AppData.com. That may be a far cry from the 80+ million that the game had at its peak, but it's still enough to keep it in the #3 slot for Facebook games. And the two games that are beating it? Zynga's other cash cows - Zynga Poker and CityVille. So while you might say "really Zynga? ANOTHER FarmVille expansion?!?" - there are 21 million farm hands that probably disagree with you.

It should come as little shock, then, that the big Z are looking to repeat their success with FarmVille 2 - at least if the rumors are to be believed.

    Survey reveals that the state of the economy has a strong impact on the casual game market

    By

    Here's something to think about. Video games have been around for decades, but their burst of mainstream popularity is only a few years old. Why is that? What is it about this generation of video games that gave rise to reams of casual fare? The answer is multi-tiered, but according to recent survey findings, the economic downturn of the late Aughts did a great deal to bring a much wider audience to the relatively cheap pastime of gaming. Moreover, the rise of the free-to-play market, its subsequent success, and the chilly economy all tie into each other in a big way.

    When I was a kid, I collected a complete set of plush "Holiday Huggable" Muppet Babies from McDonald's. In 2008 and 2009, Hallmark released little arcade cabinets of Pac-Man and Galaga to hang off your tree that my wife kindly wrapped and put my name on. Every year, all of these items come out of storage for our December display. Christmas decorations can become lifelong family keepsakes - and there's no better time to buy them than during a February clearance.
