When you mix two good things together, you never quite know how things will turn out. Sometimes you get chocolate peanut butter cups. Other times you get anchovies and ice cream. The oddly-named Puzzlejuice attempts to do something similar with games. It’s part Tetris, part SpellTower-style word game, and the result is as stressful as it is addictive.

Fans of The Clockwork Man are no doubt hoping that the team at Total Eclipse are furiously working away at a third installment in the series, but who can say? While we don’t really have any confirmation on The Clockwork Man 3, Total Eclipse’s next game seems like a pretty clear indication that they’re not quite done with the franchise yet: A Clockwork Brain.

You ever wonder why hidden object games feature so many ghosts, insane clowns and twisted psychiatrists? Yeah, me too. Witches also seem to be frequent hidden object fodder, as do wealthy heirs who somehow always end up cursed. These types of characters have seemingly perennial appeal so it's no surprise really, that Witches' Legacy: The Charleston Curse features both witches and heirs. What is surprising is that despite the use of these well-worn archetypes, Witches' Legacy weaves a clever and, on occasion, surprising story.

Gardens of Time, the most popular hidden object game on Facebook, now lets players pay a monthly subscription fee for access to exclusive premium content.

When a young journalist and her cameraman disappear right in the middle of a broadcast, that’s a mystery. When it happens on the mysterious Black Isle? It’s doubly so. When there’s a mystery of this magnitude, there’s only one thing you can do – call in the Mystery Trackers.

We haven't seen a new entry in the Governor of Poker series since 2010, but Youda Games is bringing the franchise back very soon. Only this time, it's on Facebook.

When Lovely Kitchen debuted back in 2009, we weren’t terribly wowed. A time management game where players would help Mary fulfill her childhood dream of being a famous cook with her own restaurant, the gameplay felt a little dated and the English felt a little broken. Cut the 3 years later, and Blam! Games are preparing to launch the sequel Lovely Kitchen 2. But can it cook up something impossible to resist?

At the end of last month we took a look back at the year that was 2011 and rounded up the best and most interesting games and trends to happen. Now we’re looking forward. Just what does the world of casual gaming have in store for all of us in 2012? Well, we’re not quite sure, but that’s not going to stop us from making some predictions. The Gamezebo team has spent the past month gazing at our office crystal ball and has come up with these nine predictions for the next year of gaming.

It's never easy taking a stand against your own people. Just ask Robo, the goofy little robot starring in RoboHero. You see, Robo's realized he'd rather work with humanity — as opposed to his fellow droids (who happen to be invading Earth). Even though this is a dangerous move, it's also a ton of fun, and provides one of the most memorable strategy experiences to come to iOS devices.

Just in case the newly launched mobile versions of match-3 hit Triple Town weren't enough to keep you busy, it looks like a major update is on the way to the game that will bring new gameplay modes and expanded social features.
