Just a few days ago we learned of the existence of Zombie Lane, a mysterious new zombie game from Millionaire City developer Digital Chocolate. And while we still don't have much to go on, Digital Chocolate has pulled the curtain back a tiny bit by releasing a piece of art.
Digital Chocolate, the social game developer behind Facebook hits like Millionaire City and Epic Fighters, is releasing a new game this month, but it won't say what that game is. Well, that's not entirely true, a hint was revealed: the new game will have zombies.Update!We now have a name.
As the year 2010 ends, 3-D city-building games continue to grow into a big trend on Facebook. Exhibit A, of course, is CityVille (and it's 20 million inhabitants). As for Exhibit B, let me present to you RamaCity, an upcoming 3D social game by Bigpoint.
CityVille is Zynga's long-awaited entry in the city-building genre, which has proven itself amazingly durable on Facebook. Where many city-builders must be played strictly in brief bursts, CityVille actually offers enough to do that you can spend a considerably longer amount of time with it per session. In theory you can only do things until you run out of energy, but I found myself needing to wait for things to happen more often than I found myself waiting for my energy to regenerate.
As a kid, I'll always remember the first time I encountered New York City. Driving in the back seat of the family car up Interstate 95, I recall staring at the Manhattan skyscrapers in awe as they rose over the horizon into the skyline. Yesterday afternoon, Zynga gave me a sneak peak of its upcoming game, CityVille. It wasn't the exact same feeling as staring at Manhattan for the first time, but it sure comes close.
Do you like Digital Chocolate's Millionaire City? Chances are you do, if you've played it. It's Digital Chocolate's most popular game on Facebook, serving about 12 million monthly users and 2.6 million daily users. Why bring this up in a review of Hollywood City? Well, as it happens, Hollywood City and Millionaire City are basically the same game.
Digital Chocolate, just a day after releasing Hollywood City that lets you be a Hollywood movie magnate, has today announced the launch of Vegas City. Vegas City lets you. . . you guessed it, be a social Vegas casino magnate.
