PopCap Games, the worldwide leader in casual games, today announced that it has signed an agreement to acquire ZipZapPlay, a social games company based in San Francisco, California.

With this buyout, PopCap Games has increased its already large library of Facebook games, acquires a studio in Silicon Valley, and positions itself for further growth in the games industry.

"Adding ZipZapPlay's strong design and development team to our rapidly-growing social games group is a big move for us," said Jason Kapalka, co-founder and Chief Creative Officer at PopCap. "ZipZapPlay is a great cultural fit: a truly creative company that lives and breathes in this space. And their next game is very innovative and exciting – we believe it has the potential to be a step forward in the evolution of social gaming."

"We're elated to join the leading casual games developer and help grow PopCap's presence in the social arena," said ZipZapPlay's Bererton. "PopCap's focus on innovative gameplay and user experience meshes with our own design philosophy. We can't wait to put our heads together with PopCap and start creating the next generation of games for Facebook and other social platforms."
