Marquee zombie survival shooter DayZ has a new expansion coming this fall, its first in nearly five years.

LinkedIn, the email spam service associated with a B2B social network, has made its move into gaming. Not with a LinkedIn-branded golf putting kit, which surely would’ve nailed the target audience: LinkedIn has started with three simple browser games that can be played daily and, here’s the kicker, track and share stats across networks.
