Ballistic seems to be a more serious approach with its tone. Ballistic was unsurprisingly created using Unity, but has surprisingly been in development for years. Based on these early screen shots, that certainly shows: The environments in Ballistic are littered with impressive lighting and shadow effects as far as games on Facebook are concerned.

While Rumble is no stranger to "hardcore" games on otherwise "casual" platforms with KingsRoad and Nightmare Guardians in development for Facebook and mobile, respectively, this is the studio's first publishing venture. Given the seemingly strong push back from gamers regarding the idea of playing games on Facebook, it will be interesting to see whether Ballistic overcomes that. Well, gorgeous visuals and controller support (according to Rumble CEO Greg Richardson), are certainly a start.
