1，Farm Story 2 developer Storm8 announced two new executive hires today: Tim LeTourneau (pictured, right) is its new chief creative officer while Steve Parkis (left) is taking on the role of its president of Games and Network.

Both come to the company from Zynga, where LeTourneau was also chief creative officer; Parkis was its SVP of games. Both men oversaw such hits as Farmville and CityVille during their tenure at the company.

Before Zynga, LeTourneau worked on The Sims, and over saw EA’s Sims Studio prior to his departure. Parkis, meanwhile, worked on the popular Club Penguin MMO franchise at Disney.

“Tim and Steve’s combined creative and operational leadership bring us the tandem skill set required to take Storm8 to our next stage of growth,” Storm8 CEO and co-founder Perry Tam said in a statement. （source：gamasutra ）

2，User privacy is a serious issue — as a recent controversy surrounding Chinese mobile game Fengkuang Laiwang illustrates, as the South China Morning Post reports.

Fengkuang Laiwang is based on the traditional party game of charades, and it records videos of players so their partners can guess what they’re mimicking. The problem: The videos were uploaded to a public account on video-sharing website Youku.com — without alerting players, many of whom were clearly expecting markedly more private play sessions, based on their (lack of) attire.

The game was developed for recently IPO’ed Chinese internet giant Alibaba’s Laiwang chat service — a competitor to Tencent’s WeChat, and a major reason that Alibaba recently invested in San Francisco mobile developer Kabam.

The story shows the peril of not thoughtfully handling all forms of player data your game may scrape and upload to servers. The South China Morning Post reports that public release of the video also violated Chinese privacy laws — laws which are weaker than those in the West.（source：gamasutra ）

3，I’ve been a fan of the original Zombie Highway since it launched on iOS in 2010. The game received regular updates in the years since, adding so much additional content that today it’s practically unrecognizable from the original App Store release — in a good way, of course. Tomorrow, Zombie Highway 2 makes its long-awaited debut, and it continues the series’ bloody tradition in fine style.

If you’ve never played the original Zombie Highway, let me get you up to speed (pun intended, forgive me): Zombies are destroying humanity and your only goal is to get as far as you can down a road crawling with the undead. You need to use any means necessary to keep from wrecking and having your brain gnawed on by the every increasing horde, who just so happen to have a nasty habit of latching onto your vehicle.

The first thing any Zombie Highway fan is going to notice is how pretty the sequel looks. Everything from your vehicle and the zombies to the road debris and the background environments looks like it belongs on a dedicated game console. Zombies fly off your vehicle in a spray of blood from gunfire, garbage litters the roadway, and you can even see the individual treads on your tires. In short, there’s a lot of eye candy here.

Each drive is slightly different in Zombie Highway 2, and your path is randomized enough that devising a strategy to outsmart the game isn’t possible. Sometimes you’ll be tossed into a dark tunnel in the middle of the city where it’s nearly impossible to see things before it’s too late, while other times you’ll spend much of your run weaving back and forth from one side of the road to the other to avoid wrecked semi trucks and piles of cars.（source：tuaw.com ）
