Mobile gaming is becoming a big thing nowadays with several big game developers taking leaps and bounds. For example, Facebook and Zynga made a five year deal to be together after seeing the success of FarmVille. Zynga has also launched its second most popular game of the moment, CityVille. It has managed to captivate around 16.8 million users that is more than FarmVille. It has also received a secret investment of $100-$200 million from Google that clearly signifies the broad expansion of Zynga’s social network gaming.
