With the walls closing in, Zynga announced CityVille 2 is in closed beta. The company couldn't share any info but to say it "delivers a truly social and visually rich city building experience." It will launch soon. Not that investors seem to currently care.

As the LA Times notes, Zynga's combined cash, securities and real estate assets are currently worth about $2.46 a share, according to analysts. But, its stock is currently trading below that price (as of this writing: $2.43), which means the company's games business is essentially worth "nothing."

These dark tidings come as brothers Paul and David Bettner, known for Words with Friends, leave Zynga. This is on top of so many high-profile departures we'd be bombarding you every other day with a post, but let's just close this off by saying some milestone moments were the departures of chief creative officer Mike Verdu, chief operating officer John Schappert and Draw Something studio OMGPOP's Wilson Kriegel.

Forbes points out Zynga is one of the worst performing stocks of the years, down 74 percent, making it one the worst-performing stocks among U.S. companies with market caps over a billion dollars. And, to think, when Zynga went public in December last year everything looked like it was going to be sunshine and lollipops... oh, wait, no it didn't.

#angrybirds Teased on Friday, we knew that some kind of a crossover between Rovio's Angry Birds franchise and Star Wars was coming. It's a natural pairing, given the enormous mainstream reach of those names and their owners' willingness to license it in the toy space. More »

Remember the Bridgestone commercial we posted up that featured Sony's Kevin Butler (Jerry Lambert) playing Mario Kart Wii? We all had a good laugh about it, but Sony wasn't laughing. They've gone so far as to sue both Bridgestone and Lambert. I can only imagine how this is going to come out. Thanks to all that sent this in!

Goodness, this looks impressive. MaK (pronounced “make”) is a game about building. Yes, there are roughly seven trillion of those at this point, but it’s actually aiming to execute the concept in an impressively different fashion. The short version: It’s highly physics-based, and there’s a lot of tethering and electricity conduction involved. As for the long version, well, it’s complicated, and you’ll be much better served by the trailer after the break than you will me. Seriously, though, go check it out. This spaced-out construct-o-tron just rocketed to the top of my “to watch” list.

The Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed trailer above focuses on all the different options you have, including online or split-screen multiplayer, normal races or challenges, etc. But all we saw was that Super Monkey Ball track.
