PopCap Targets Zuma Blitz for Facebook

Seattle-based casual games developer PopCap Games said today that it is getting set to launch the firm's Zuma franchise as a free game on Facebook. PopCap said the new title, Zuma Blitz, will include a number of social features, including weekly tournaments and leaderboards, an "experience points" system, and virtual currency. The firm said it will roll the title out as a beta launch in approximately three weeks. The addition of Zuma to Facebook will bring PopCap's total social games on a total of two, including its Bejeweled Blitz title.
