Since we first saw Gunshine -- Supercell's Facebook-based massively multiplayer role playing game -- new content has been added, the rough edges have been smoothed, and upgrades have been applied to just about every aspect of the game. The result, you might say, really shines.
When Mafia Wars 2 hit Facebook last month, it was heralded as a tremendous step forward for the franchise. Zynga's first true sequel was light years ahead of its predecessor, replacing the text-driven RPG format of yesteryear with a slick, stylish 3D world to explore and a whole new style of gameplay. Mafia Wars Shakedown, however, fails to reflect any of this progress.

One of the oldest browser-based games was a casual strategy game called Travian that is, these days, famous largely for the number of times it's been successfully cloned. On Facebook, for instance, the top Travian clone is probably Kingdoms of Camelot. And its developer, Kabam, publishes an entire line of Travian clones that use different artwork themes and gameplay tweaks. Golden Age is best understood as Aeria Games's own Travian clone, distinguished by its unusually detailed sprites and an interesting "dungeon" mechanic that makes combat a bit more memorable. Otherwise, it's like every other Travian-style strategy game you've ever played.

In an alternate version of our own world, the progress of technology stopped around the 15th century, and with good reason. Because in the world of Dragon Craft people have discovered magic. "And not magic as like the floaty, good-feeling stuff that is in some movies," producer Kevin O'Neil told Gamezebo, "but as a source of power that it's comparable to oil. If magic was harvestable, usable, and people were able to control it and wield immense power, how would that change society?" That's the question posed by the upcoming game from ngmoco studio Freeverse, which puts players in a free-to-play strategy experience where the goal is to become the most powerful dragon baron in the world.
