Breaking News! Zynga's Poker Blitz launches on Facebook

It's official. Zynga's arcade-style poker game, Poker Blitz, is now live on Facebook. The game's development lead told us this new game is designed to make poker less intimidating for non-poker players or poker newbies. If the cartoony avatar (say, isn't that the same avatar from YoVille?) below is any indication -- it looks like this poker game might, indeed, be the 'poker game for the masses.'

We'll be diving into this game this evening. Check it out and let us know what you think in the comments below.
