Zynga Slingo Combines Past and Present in New Social Game


Take a spin on Facebook with Zynga’s new Slingo game — that’s slots and bingo combined.
On Wednesday, social game creator Zynga launched Slingo for Facebook. If you’ve been a fan of online games for a long time, you might have played Slingo in the past — the game started on America Online 15 years ago.
“Anybody who’s played Slingo in the past will feel right at home,” says Rich Sawel, product manager for Zynga Slingo.
Zynga Slingo combines the classic features of Slingo with the glitz and pizzazz of Zynga games.
Players click “spin” and match numbers to fill a bingo card. They can bump up their score by earning balls and coins. Get a “bingo” by matching five numbers vertically, horizontally or diagonally. Players can wager their points — the whole loot or just a percentage — and flip the devil v. cherub coin to potentially win big or lose it all.
There are five “worlds” in which to play Slingo and lots of visual appeal — confetti, flashes, bright colors, a moving joker in the bottom right corner. Zynga kept the cherub and devil images from the original version.
And just like other social games, you can play for a bit at a time then walk away and pick up the game later on. Unless, of course you’re addicted.
“It’s like recess for adults,” Sawel said.
Slingo was one of the first free casual games on the market 15 years ago, said Slingo Inc. CEO Rich Roberts. The game has been played by more than 55 million people over the years.
“Zynga has the experience on social games and this certainly fits what Zynga does,” Roberts said. “We think that with this relationship the game will appeal to user.”
The game is available in 14 languages, including: English, Spanish, French, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Turkish, Danish, German, Swedish and Norwegian.Via[mashable]

10 Addictive iPhone Games that You’ll Never Get Bored of


When it comes to cell phones these days, it really is all about the iPhone. From its crystal clear reception, to its unbeatable camera, to its wealth of available apps, iPhone truly does set the standard to beat in a number of very important ways. However, whether you’re a recent iPhone convert or have been a die-hard iPhone user since it was first introduced in 2007, you’re quite simply not getting the most out of yours until you have a proper selection of the best iPhone games at your disposal. Make sure a good sampling of the following must have games makes its way to your phone sooner rather than later.
The best iPhone games are fun, fanciful, and easy to get into and Plants vs. Zombies delivers all that and then some. The premise is hardly complex, but that’s exactly what makes it awesome. Prevent a horde of marauding zombies from invading your house by strategically planting shrubs and other plants capable of firing a variety of projectiles at the zombies. It’s easy and simple, but highly addictive, putting this game at the head of the class.Via[iphone5pedia]

Anyone with a Facebook account undoubtedly knows a little bit about FarmVille already. However, what they may not know is that FarmVille is fast becoming one of the most popular iPhone games as well. If you’ve already built your farm via Facebook, you can now access it on the go. If you’ve yet to discover this addictive pastime, there’s no time like the present to give it a try!

Words with Friends finds Scrabble going social at long last in one of the most popular iPhone games ever. Manage and enjoy several ongoing games with your social network anywhere and everywhere. It’s brought to you by the social game geniuses at Zynga, so no wonder it’s so addictive.





You’d have to have been living under a rock lately not to have heard of Angry Birds before, so it only stands to reason that no rundown of the best, most addictive iPhone games could ever be complete without it. It has everything the best portable games should have, after all – simple game play, fun graphics, and an addiction factor that keeps you coming back to it time and time again. Use a slingshot to fire birds at an army of invading pigs! It may sound simple and silly, but trust us when we say that’s exactly what’s so wonderful about it.

If you’re a fan of simple iPhone games, then Fruit Ninja is for you, because it doesn’t get much simpler than this. Fruit appears on your iPhone screen and you slice it in half using your finger. Slice as many pieces at a time as you can to earn more points… but avoid slicing the bombs, naturally. Users who enjoy this game say they find it oddly satisfying and even meditative, so be sure to give it a try if that sounds like your cup of tea.

Whether you first learned to play solitaire with an analog deck of cards or have been one of the many who enjoys whiling away the hours playing it on their computer, Solitaire is a classic. It’s also one of the must-have iPhone games on the market today! Naturally, if you prefer to play Solitaire by yourself, you’re covered. However, if you’re the sort who’d be up for adding a competitive edge to your game play, this app features a multi-player option as well. And did we mention that it’s free?

Here we have another one to file under “iPhone games that are simple, yet addictive”. Don’t be fooled though! Super Stickman Golf doesn’t aspire to be a realistic simulation of the golf sport itself. Instead, it delivers exactly what it says it does – the experience of helping a stickman hit successfully hit golf balls, but on some of the craziest virtual golf courses you can even imagine. Players can enhance their golfer’s performance with bonuses, power-ups, and other helpers in order to improve performance.

Lots of iPhone games make it big by going back to basics and revisiting simple game play interfaces from the past. Jetpack Joyride is a perfect example of one of these. Utilizing a familiar and nostalgic side-scroller format — as seen in such hits as Super Mario Brothers – you get to control the antics of a character named Barry Steakfries, as well as his powerful jetpack as he navigates his way through a variety of fun, challenging, and visually appealing levels.

The simplicity of the graphics and the game play in this one is exactly what puts it in the same class as other must-have iPhone games. Guide a simple doodle character across platforms and through various levels by tilting your phone back and forth. Collect power-ups and bonuses while avoiding villains and other obstacles. If it sounds too simple to really appeal to you, then we have a challenge for you! Try it just once… and then try to put it down.

10. Catan
If you’ve been wishing that the wide selection of games for iPhone out there included more board game formats, then Catan is undoubtedly made with you in mind! Strategically advance through game play by rolling dice and collecting cards that feature graphics of sheep, bricks, wheat, and other such goods. Trade them with other players as part of a quest to build amazing cities. Compete with others to see who can achieve a score of 10 first.

Now that you’ve gotten the low-down on the most insanely worthwhile, addictive, and popular iPhone games under the sun, you officially will have plenty of options the next time you’re looking to kill time while waiting in a queue or simply while away a few hours n your lunch break at work. Give them a try for yourself next time you’ve got a second and find out what you’ve been missing all this time!

Top 10 [TEN] most anticipated Games of 2012


Let's face it. 2011 was one of the best years in gaming. We saw a plethora of sequels hit the market from Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 competing with Battlefield 3 for the title of the best FPS (First Person Shooter) war game. The Caped Crusader also returned in Batman Arkham City. We donned the role of our favourite assassin in Assassins Creed Revelations and played a death defying treasure hunter in Uncharted 3. For the RPG (Role Playing Games) fans out there, games like the Witcher 2 and the Elders Scroll 5 Skyrim sucked up hundreds of gaming hours. We even saw games like Portal 2, which left us scratching our heads in bewilderment! And these are just a few of the blockbusters 2011 brought us. A pretty productive year? Well, wait till you see what's on offer before the end of the world in 2012! Here's a countdown to the top 10 most anticipated games of 2012.



The name is enough to give any gamer shivers! The third story in Bioware's critically acclaimed Mass Effect series, in which you once again take on the role of Commander Shepard leading the counter assault to save earth from total annihilation. The biggest USP of the Mass Effect franchise has been the ability to take decisions and bear the consequences for your actions. The story arc changes based on the decisions you take. Add to the fact that the third game in the franchise is going to add multiplayer; this is one war you won't want to miss this year.




2006 was the last we saw of the cold-blooded Hitman more commonly known as Agent 47. Heck, after playing Blood Money (which was released in 2006), some of us wanted to change our profession. Seriously! Six years seems like a long time to wait. If the promos and one awesome 12 minute gameplay demo shown off by developer I/O Interactive is anything to go by, this will be one of the best third person action adventure games of the year and we will be more than happy to don the role of the lead antagonist.




If in 1995, you were lucky enough to own a PS1, then you undoubtedly played Twisted Metal. This is probably one of the longest running Racing Action franchises on Sony's gaming hardware.   Multiplayer will undoubtedly be a highlight of the series as 16 players will battle a variety of classic and new game modes.




The series that gave birth to bullet time is back, and back with a vengeance. Max Payne defined a place for itself in the third person action genre with a killer story, comic book style narrative and a little trick called bullet time that has been emulated by virtually every action game since. Apart from upping the action, the third game in the franchise will offer a more gripping and grittier story along with an improved cover based system and of course, better bullet time.  And since a little company called Rockstar Studios is developing the game, our hopes for this one are sky high!




Crazy style Ninja action is the way of the Samurai and who can do it better than Team Ninja, the masterminds behind the Ninja Gaiden franchise. This hack and slash style action game will bring to the franchise a more refined combat system along with online multiplayer support. The series will now appeal to the casual and hardcore alike, thanks to the addition of a difficulty setting that enables auto block for the reflex challenged gamers.




If you aren't as psyched about Bioshock Infinite as we are then you need to wake up and smell the coffee! Shifting from the underwater settlement of Rapture, Irrational Games takes players to the city of Columbia settled high in the clouds. Expect one physiologically thrilling adventure in this first person shooter as you explore the new world of Columbia.




What do you get when Assassins Creed meets Uncharted? A game we can't wait to play! The reboot of the Tomb Raider franchise takes players back in time to the roots of lead protagonist Lara Croft and the story of how she became the kick-ass explorer we have come to love over the decades. In the E3 2011 demo of the game that was shown off, we were introduced to some seriously cinematic gameplay (looking a lot like Uncharted) and some very cool 'Eagle Vision' style mechanics (Assassins Creed anyone?), which will help Lara, escape from the deserted island she is marooned on.




Borderlands 2 is a sequel to the best four-player role-playing first person shooting game. This sequel features new characters, skills, environments, enemies, weapons and equipment. Get ready to reveal and take on the secrets of the land of Pandora.




The only game on our list to be a PC exclusive, and there's a good reason for that. The Diablo franchise has ruled the third person action RPG (Role Playing Game) genre for decades, and now it's back. Playing as a hero from one of the five character classes, players will acquire powerful items, spells and abilities as they explore the world and take on hordes of demons.



10. GTA V

We aren't sure if GTA V is slated for a 2012 release but we can't hold back our excitement about this game. The series is expected to take a new direction with the open world mission-based third person action adventure.Via[NDTV]

Angry Birds Heading for Facebook this Valentine’s Day


What’s so special about this Valentine? It is going to be an avian valentine, it seems. Your favorite Angry Birds is hitting social network site Facebook on this Valentine’s Day.  The birds will come flying to the midst of more than 800 million Facebook users on February 14th this year, with an official launch in Jakarta, the global capital of Facebook.
The game, when it launches on Facebook, is expected to provide a heightened animation experience with its full screen capabilities. Then the question, how it will be on Facebook?
Obviously, the basic version of the game will be free of cost. Just everybody can simply start falling in love with the birds this Valentine onwards. But if you need something more, the birds are bringing them along.
A power upgrade can be purchased for just $0.99, if you think the battle is not powerful enough. When launched in Facebook, the power ups will help you get bigger and stronger birds.
If you want more to swipe away the nasty pigs, just get a stronger catapult which is also packed with the power upgrade. For adding to the anger of the birds, the power up will give you an additional earth quake weapon too.
Launching into Facebook with such a power-up (though very cheap) is expected to make Rovio a lot of bucks in no time, since surveys have suggested that players opting for paid power ups are more among Angry Bird players.
While just 3 to 4 percent players go for paid upgrades in other games, it is 40 percent among Angry Birds players. Well, with all social networking features, you can assume how people will be running for the power ups to beat each others in the scores.Via[DeviceMag]

Xbox 360 Gets a Cloud Storage Feature on Its Next Update


Microsoft plans to free all gamers around the world from the hassles of client-based stored files, because they had just recently announced that they would be offering cloud storage services for their dedicated console. The addition of this feature for the next Xbox live update could potentially be the next best thing since the days of internally saved files and memory cards of the 20th century gaming era.
The cloud storage service basically ends your need to worry about forgetting all your files and data on your Xbox. You can simply access the file to their database and presto! The save files pops right up for easy access. You don’t have to think about the possibility of losing your files due to some hardware or software error ever again. It’s probably goodbye to the words “gamertag recovery” by the time this update comes out.
The most important benefit of this feature would probably be the fact that you can access your own account at any Xbox unit, so even if you’re not in your own home, you can still have your Xbox gaming experience to the fullest.
This coming Xbox live update also has other nifty options, including the use of special beacons that would track you and your friend’s favorite games. The beacons can be efficient information markers, letting your friends know what games you are playing and would want to play. It advertised to open many opportunities in gaming, allowing you to share the games that you love with your friends in just a “blink” of the beacon.
There are still many questions to be answered about the update, such as the privilege boundaries of the service. But one thing’s for sure though, we’ll know soon enough, because you can expect this Xbox update to arrive sometime this year.
