Hey, Facebook, Your ‘Like’ Button Is Ugly. Here Are Better Options.

Can you guess which games each of these icons represent? I don’t know about you guys, but I’m pretty tired of seeing the bulky, medical-blue ‘Like’ button on every website and, increasingly, cafes and other random locations boasting their profile pages and begging for interest.


A Mutant Crop Of Plants Vs. Zombies Blooms On Facebook

While fans of the war between plant life and human undeath wait anxiously for July’s Plants Vs. Zombies 2, the eternal battle has spilled over into Plants Vs. Zombies Adventures, a Facebook game where planting virtual crops could save your life. Rather than the corridor-based battles of its big brother, Plants Vs. Zombies Adventures reverts to more traditional tower defence.



Game Of Thrones: Ascent Is More Up To Date With The Show Than You Are

Well before the first episode aired late last month, members of Boston-based developer Disruptor Beam had already seen a little over half of season three of Game of Thrones. They flew down to New York City and sat within a well-guarded theatre, taking in the aftermath of the Battle of Blackwater and catching up on the progress of the encroaching winter.


So This Is A Game Where You Play As The Moon

Before Plants Vs Zombies 2 Comes Plants Vs Zombies Vs Facebook

Number One First-Person Shooter On Facebook Takes On Tablets

With more than 10 million monthly players between Facebook and the Mac app store, Cmune’s UberStrike is one of the most popular first-person shooters you may have never heard of. Today’s free-to-play move to iPad and Tegra 3 tablets should make it a little harder to ignore.


No, Sony ISN’T giving out Beta PS4s Via Facebook

People, people, people. STOP BEING IDIOTS. Sorry for shouting like that, but it seems like a new Facebook “like” scam pops up every single day. Today’s foolishness is a fake PS4 beta scam.


KingsRoad Is The Closest You Can Come To Playing Diablo On Facebook

Launched just this week, Rumble Entertainment’s KingsRoad is about as far from a traditional Facebook game as you can get. It’s a Diablo-style action role-playing game with all the bells and whistles — including multiplayer — and it’s servers are running just fine.
