Global Warfare on Facebook: Is Kabam's latest a 'real game for real gamers?'
There's an interesting new trend developing in Facebook games. While we've all spent the last two years bombarded with me-too games about farming or tending to virtual pets/stores/cities, several companies are starting to reach out to a new type of social gamer -- the hardcore strategy gamer.
These PC-centric strategists make up a small but extremely passionate portion of the game-playing public, and instead of perfecting headshots in games like Halo or Gears of War, they prefer to take down enemies with a series of well-thought-out military style maneuvers (and a little resource management on the side) in games like Command & Conquer or StarCraft.
