What is Real Games working on in casual games? We have no specific new insights, but we can speculate about a future product based on a Forbes article that went up this morning.

According to Forbes, Real plans to launch a new service called Unifi, that will collect all your digital content --- video, music, files, e-books – and allow you to access it on all your devices – computers, phones, and tablets.

That’s a very cool service, except it’s missing one piece of content – games.

So, how is CityVille, Zynga’s latest game, doing so far a week after launch?

In the words of Larry David from Curb your Enthusiasm, “pretty pretty good.” Within 24 hours, 290,000 people were playing CityVille (compared to 116,000 players in FrontierVille the first day of that game). Within a week, according to David Ko (Zynga SVP Mobile), CityVille saw 3 million daily active users.

Which is cool, because maybe the game is doing well enough, someone at Zynga will realize that their rocking email system that sends me an email notification every time someone I know invites me to play, sends me a gift, or sends a reminder of someone sending me a zoning permit that I ignored since it’s clogging my email box, may actually tone down their email notifications a bit.

Phoenix Online Studios, the team behind the King’s Quest-inspired episode adventure game The Silver Lining, has announced a bunch of holiday goodies for King’s Quest fans -- including a downloadable soundtrack, a new e-card website, and a raffle to win a professionally mastered soundtrack CD plus other prizes. But perhaps the best news of all is that the third chapter in the adventure, “My Only Love Sprung from My Only Hate,” will launch on January 29, 2011.

Puzzle Saga is a concept that seems inescapably bound by success: a Facebook game that merges match-3 gameplay with RPG fantasy battles in the vein of the multiplatform casual hit Puzzle Quest. While Puzzle Saga is quite good by Facebook standards, it's no Puzzle Quest. The puzzle battles are real-time instead of turn-based and there's no real level of customization. The emphasis is on making matches as quickly as possible rather than necessarily making the best matches.

I’m a first-generation gamer in my family, so it’s too soon to tell if any of my gaming “Tastes” have been genetically pre-determined. The safer bet is that they developed over time as I played more games. Either way, by the time a person has played their first game, they’ve initiated themselves somewhat into the world of gaming. They start to develop opinions and the more they play, the more informed those opinions become. Some experienced gamers naively assume that their tastes are more “correct” than others – a notion that I dismiss as fairly ridiculous.

Dress-Up Pups is a colorful, relaxing match-3 title from Anawiki that allows you to spend as much or as little time as you’d like making clothing for dogs. There is plenty of gameplay here, for those looking to spend a few hours of their lives playing, but the gameplay itself is pretty standard match-3 fare.

I was never a big believer in platforming games on the iPhone. The controls just always seem a little too loose and imprecise for all that jumping. I chalked it up to a limitation of the touch screen and just went back to playing Bejeweled. Then I played through Pizza Boy, and for the first time really saw platforming controls done well on a touch screen (I’m sure it’s been done well before that, but that’s the first I saw first-hand). Since then I’ve definitely been open to the idea and was able to approach Pixeline and the Jungle Treasure with an open mind.
