Angry Birds coming to Facebook, sorry Mac

Gamezebo just published a news update on Angry Birds that their PR chief confirmed that Angry Birds will be coming to Facebook next year.

"In addition to the Valentine’s announcement, Rovio’s PR chief Ville Heijari has told a Finnish radio station that Angry Birds will be flocking to Facebook this April. It might not be the traditional PC release gamers were hoping for, but it looks like the series will finally be coming to your desktop!"

Zynga’s CityVille Review – Gamezebo

Gamezebo just posted Zynga’s CityVille review

Here is the summary

Pros:

• Fully rotatable 3D buildings make your city fun to look at. Mission structure offers clear and interesting goals. Collectibles and farming elements are well-implemented. Game’s visuals are bright and extremely inviting.

Cons:

• Community buildings force solo players to pay a “no friends tax” much too early. Facebook has made keeping track of notifications fairly difficult, but CityVille is most fun when you’re engaging heavily with the social mechanics. The overall feel of the game may strike some players as overly-reminiscent of games like Social City and Millionaire City.

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.

One of the team members of CityVille tipped me that I should
“here’s a tip: plant 6 corns as early as you can – they’ll come in handy later and you’ll be glad you didn’t have to wait a day”
