Amazon Taking on Social Gaming

As if Zynga didn't have enough to worry about

Amazon is offering a challenge to Zynga and other 'social' gaming outfits via its own Amazon Games Studios title Living Classics.

According to the online retailer and mainstay of the Internet since time immemorial (well, since 1994, which is very close):

"Living Classics, our first major release, is what we call a 'moving object game'. In the game, a family of foxes have wandered into vibrant, animated illustrations from their favorite books including Alice in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz, and King Arthur. Players help to reunite the foxes by exploring beautifully illustrated scenes and spotting moving objects. You can visit friends, share rewards you’ve earned, rediscover famous stories, and reunite fox families."

This is certainly not going to cheer the team over at Zynga which is having to turn to poker to make up for its rapidly lowering outlook.
