I hope you will like that and if you have any comments please get in touch with me I would love to answer to your questions.

Hi Justin,
We have a new social gaming application just launched.
Name : Presidents & Assholes
Description: Presidents & Assholes is a multi-player social game based on the popular, easy-to-learn, rank based card game Asshole ( Bum ). The objective of the game is to be the first to get rid of all your cards, to gain an advantage in the next round of play as the president.
Screenshots:

http://london-ontario.com/play_president/screenshots/presidents.gif
App Icon:
http://london-ontario.com/play_president/screenshots/app_icon.gif
In our research we couldn’t find an online version of this card game. We did find out that there is variations of the card game played in almost every country, under different names. What is consistent, is the general gameplay, the player ranking, and that it is a highly social game. Our game enables 4 live players to sit at a game table per room, and up to 20 spectators to observe the gameplay. All players can chat and interact through the rich user interface.
You can preview the game at http://apps.facebook.com/play_president/ before installing.
Let us know what you think.
Thanks

Pixelmatic has launched the Gamerbook application! Gamerbook is an application designed to connect gamers on Facebook. You can add it
here: http://apps.facebook.com/gamerbook
“We see Gamerbook as an extension of Facebook – an embedded social network within Facebook built specifically for gamers,” said Samson Mow, founder and director, Pixelmatic Entertainment. “We envision that Gamerbook will reconnect gamers much in the same way that school and work networks on Facebook bring together classmates and coworkers.”
About Gamerbook
Developed by Pixelmatic Entertainment, Gamerbook is an application designed to connect gamers on the Facebook platform. Users of Gamerbook can create profiles for different games which detail their nickname, which servers they played on, their faction and clan, and the time period for which they played that game; this information is then easily searchable by any other Gamerbook user. With Gamerbook, users will be able to find people they have played with in the past that are known only by an alias. Gamerbook also allows gamers to notify friends about the games they are currently playing, as well as keep track of the gaming aliases of friends.
About Pixelmatic Entertainment
Pixelmatic Entertainment is a developer of social network applications and online games. Founded in 2008, Pixelmatic Entertainment is a privately held company headquartered in Vancouver, Canada. The founding team at Pixelmatic is composed of former Activision Blizzard, THQ, and Electronic Arts developers.

The Department of Psychology at Goldsmiths, University of London is looking for volunteers to take part in a trial of a new online social game: Magpies. Whether you are into online gaming or not, this is a great excuse to play games whilst contributing to valuable university research.
Magpies collect curious things! Using Magpies you can make collections of cool things around any theme you want! Your friends can then add to your collection with text, images and locations. You can also join groups of other players in order to compete together.
All you need to do to take part in the trial is to play the game! It really is that easy, although we might ask you to fill in two questionnaires.
If you are interested please access the link below and accept the Trial Terms that you’ll find there! Have fun!
