Zynga brings Facebook’s Most popular game CityVille to Google+

By Mike Dunn September 26, 2011

Are you unhappy about all the recent Facebook changes, but can’t live without playing CityVille every day? Well game maker Zynga has the solution for you; you can now play CityVille on Google+. CityVille is the most popular game on Facebook, so it is pretty safe to assume that it will be very popular on Google+, and might even lure some Facebook users over to Google+.

Last week Google+ moved into public beta testing which means that people no longer required an invite to join the service. So CityVille joined Google+ at just the right time, as the site has become very popular in the last week. CityVille currently has 72 million users, and is the most popular game on Facebook and has been since it first launched. Zynga has three of the five most popular games, and we imagine it won’t be long until they are all on Google+.

At this time there is no official word if the city you build in Facebook will transfer over to your Google+ account. In our short amount of testing it appears that when you start playing on Google+ you start with a fresh city, which we are sure some hardcore users will not be happy about.

CityVille isn’t Zynga’s first game on Google+, Zynga Poker took that honor when Games on Google+ first launched in August. Seeing how Google is an investor in Zynga it seems like it is only a matter of time before the whole Zynga library is available on Google+.

Google’s Stadia cloud gaming now available on LG smart TVs

Google Stadia on LG TV.

LG today announced that Google's Stadia cloud gaming service is now available on LG smart TVs running webOS 5.0 or webOS 6.0. The Stadia app is available to download from the LG Content Store in the United States and 21 other countries, giving gamers access to more than 200 games without having to plug a single device into their TV, and without having to download gigabytes of data first. You'll still need a controller, of course.

With a $10-a-month subscription to Stadia Pro, you'll be able to play more than 30 games without additional charges, as well as enjoy support for 4K HDR and graphics hitting 60 frames per second — plus 5.1 surround sound. That'll require as much bandwidth as you can throw at it, though.

Pokémon Unite tops the list of Google Play’s Best Games of 2021

In its usual end-of-year retrospective, Google has announced the Best of Play winners for 2021, highlighting key apps and games that Google feels made the most positive contributions to the world of mobile over the past year.
For the first time, Google has also expanded these awards beyond the Android smartphone platform this year to include apps and games on tablets, Wear OS, and Google TV. The awards recognize innovation in app and game development, and in making its selections, Google looks for apps that challenge the norms by “introducing unique gameplay features and giving users never-before-seen experiences.”

Pokémon Unite took the Best Game of the Year award for 2021, beating out top picks from previous years such as Genshin Impact (2020), Call of Duty: Mobile (2019), and PUBG Mobile (2018). Google cited the dynamic gameplay and cross-platform experience of Pokémon Unite as its key merits, while also giving honorable mentions to independent developers that it says are “creating imaginative and personal gaming experiences.” The runners-up this year were notably both indie developers: George Batchelor for Bird Alone and Annapurna Interactive for Donut County.
Masaaki Hoshino, Producer for Pokémon Unite, thanked Google for the recognition, adding, “All of us who worked on the game are very honored to receive such an award,” particularly as this is Pokémon’s first strategic team battle game. “We tried to distill the best parts of the MOBA genre to create a new kind of game,” Hoshino added, while also candidly admitting that he was “unsure if it would be well received by players around the world.” The Pokémon Unite producer says he’s thrilled to have the affirmation that his team is on the right track and plans to continue improving the game and making it even more exciting.
Google Play also acknowledged winners in five more specific categories, including Best Competitive, Best Game Changers, Best Indies, Best Pick up & Play, and, for the first time, Best for Tablets.
Once again, Google also ran its Users’ Choice awards to give Play Store users a chance to weigh in by voting on their most popular picks. This year, the vote for Best Game went to Garena Free Fire MAX. Previous Users’ Choice award winners include SpongeBob: Krusty Cook-Off (2020), Call of Duty: Mobile (2019), and PUBG Mobile (2018). Although the 2018 and 2019 Users’ Choice matched Google’s own pick for Game of the Year, this is now the second year in which the user vote has gone in a different direction.
As for apps, Google noted that apps focused on personal growth continued to be in high demand throughout 2021, and its top picks reflected that.

Move over, Twitch: Facebook Gaming is steadily on the rise

A crowd gathers at a Facebook Gaming event.

The world of video games and game streaming exploded during the COVID-19 pandemic. Stuck inside and far away from friends, many gamers made new acquaintances in streamers and their communities, joining together virtually as the outside world remained dangerous. Others began their streaming career from their bedrooms, hoping to find a way to pass the time, make a little money, and play the games they love for an audience.

This boom resulted in an explosion in the growth for streaming platforms. The biggest streaming platform, Twitch, raked in money as viewers subscribed to their favorite personalities and an increasing number of streamers started their own channels.
