Facebook Games – Love ‘Em or Hate ‘Em? [1 comment]

Jill

If there are two games in this world that I’ve spent waaaaaaaaaay too much time on, it’s definitely gotta be:

1. Farmville

& 2. Bejeweled Blitz

Ohh Facebook, what a ridiculous gaming goldmine you are!

Facebook games are all the rage right now. So much so, that some game apps have even started going mobile! That’s right! Imagine having Farmville on your iPhone or Andriod!

All day you’ll be.. “Harvestin’ crops (*LIKE A BOSS*), and plowing crops (*LIKE A BOSS*), at the store (*LIKE A BOSS*), or in the lot (*LIKE A BOSS*)..” -OK that’s enough!

Now seriously, with the amount of time needed to play these games and because they are less rewarding than working in a Bangladeshi sweat shop, is this craze really worth getting into?

Here’s some responses:

“i love some but others are just cheap knockoffs of popuar ones. The best one is Mindjolt games, they offer a smorgasborg of interesting and old-skool games” – C Los Oliver

“I’ve got Wow & Bioshock. I don’t need no stinkin’ Facebook games!” – sailortweek

“Mafia Wars on Facebook. Love it.” – MyGGGo

“farmville, an mafia wars, tiki resort, cafe world, yovile” – Bradley Brigham

“I play ones like mafia and castle age, but the biggest problem is that they are down so much I just go back to my psp or ds.” – Nick Enderle

“I like only one of them. Starfleet Commander Extreme. It takes skill and it is a a fun game where you can get to know others and just have a fun time. It takes a about a week for you to get built up but once you are it is sweet.” – Jacob Gerber

“facebook games are an indicator of your friends becoming housewives or a stay at home mom (Farmville), M.Wars = bored at work” – DiscoParty

“HATE them! Spams up the timeline and people need to move on and play decent games like on the wii haha” – ER_nut

Annnnd the winner!!
“they arnt games though, there more like ” to keep you on the computer longer while u sit and wait for another comment or message” kinda games lolol although my father loves farmville.lol” – Scott Mathews

What I think: Facebook games are time eaters. They pollute my feed and are addictive enough to make me stay on the computer for the entire day. (Pshaw, pretending like I don’t already!) I say this as a recovering farmer who was incredibly obsessed with Farmville! I had to delete my Farmville after I reached level 41 because I felt that it was getting out of hand. Luckily, I never wasted a penny on the game, but just believe me when I tell you to STAY CLEAR of ADDICTIVE FACEBOOK GAMES! They will consume your life and you deserve better!!!
