Some patience they've got. Growing crops with thy neighbor. Creating
Mafia gangs and beating the hell out of others. Driving crazily like a maniac in
Crazy Taxi. And oh, how could I miss the reason girls exist on Facebook?
It Girl? It's a madhouse out there on Facebook. My boyfriend almost dumped me because I just refused to become his neighbor on FarmVille,
what the heck? People are addicted to this phenomenon called Facebook, and with access to these killer games that make you look like a geek busy working on your computer system, who would want to gun for other websites, pay dollars for subscription, and spend time, while everything you need to kill time is right
here. Perhaps, blocking Facebook at work was the wisest decision they could ever make. Nope. Not exaggerating.
Top 10 Facebook Games: A List
So, if you've plenty of time to kill, if you're waiting for guests to turn up, if the girlfriend is out with her friends, or if you're doing simply nothing, the following Facebook games are all set to turn your boredom into an adventurous spree. Don't believe me? There are reasons Facebook is enlisted amongst the biggest addictions of all time, out of which top 10 go as follows:
| CityVille |
 |
Developer: Zynga
What would it be like to become the mayor of a virtual city, and supervise the development? You could oversee the farming, construction, and even rent collection of the citizens as a mayor, and gain energy points. The more your energy increases, the more does your level. Grrr, just play it to know about it more! It gets you hooked. |
| FarmVille |
Developer: Zynga
Welcome aboard to the English country side where you get to do everything from tilling the land to growing the crops. From breeding the sheep to manage an entire farm. Yes, I know you might find it weird thinking about this game being in the top 10. However, when you start playing it, the biggest challenge is to shut your computer system down! |
 |
| Mafia Wars |
 |
Developer: Zynga
Seems like Zynga is the bread and butter of Facebook games! Anyway, so, this one's really a 'guy' game, though girls play it too. In this game, you've got to set up a criminal dynasty by completing several tasks which will help you gain points. You get to travel to different cities, carry out missions, and add more and more friends to increase your dynasty. The bigger the dynasty is, the more points you fetch. Mafia Wars is one of the best Facebook games developed so far! |
| Crazy Taxi |
Developer: Sega
If you're a speedomaniac, Crazy Taxi is your pick! Its interface is just about okay, but the game takes away hours from your time. All you need to do is, drive the speedster to the maximum speed, and save it from crashing against others. The more distance you cover, the more points you score. Oh, believe me, when you see your friends scoring much higher than you have, you'd be jealous! Take your speedster out of the garage, and put the highest gear. It's going to be a great ride. |
 |
| Happy Aquarium |
 |
Developer: CrowdStar
Feed the fish, and in return, make your fish skilled as it learns some new tricks. That's what summarizes Happy Aquarium. To elaborate, you need to manage your fish, train them, mate them, and earn cash out of it. But hey, this ain't just no ordinary game. You need to use some techniques, planning, and loads of service such as adopting orphans like penguins and turtles. The ultimate trick lies in buying the one fish that can get you the most profit! |
| Ravenwood Fair |
Developer: LOLapps, Inc.
Think of it in real life and the aim of the game scares you to death! Ravenwood Fair involves building a fun fair in the middle of a forest that is extremely terrifying. You need to decorate the surroundings, and try to manage a number of monsters. Now, if you're building a fun fair, people would want to visit it. The trick is, you need to attract maximum visitors in the fair, by comforting the visitors when they're scared of the monsters. You earn points on the basis of how many visitors you can get! |
 |
| Texas HoldEm Poker |
 |
Developer: Zynga
The most popular form of Poker, Texas HoldEm is, perhaps, your favorite pastime, if you relish bluffing, planning, and winning large sums of money (virtual money, don't feel lucky!). There's just a small set of rules you've got to follow, and the rest depends upon your skills. Once you know when to give your chips away, and when to hold them, you're up for some serious gaming. Playing cards has always been fun, and Texas HoldEm Poker on Facebook takes the entertainment to another level. |
| Cafe World |
Developer: Zynga
Wanted to be a chef, but ended up becoming an IT professional? Sounds lame, but you could fulfill your dream by developing the hottest cafe in the world, by Cafe World (oops!). It's a tough game, needs some guidance. Pick up from hundreds of dishes, slice, saute, grind, or bake your way to the top of the Cafe World. This game is the first step to make your dream of becoming a restaurateur come true. |
 |
| Monster Galaxy |
 |
Developer: Gaia Online
Fight, beat, and collect over one hundred monsters to tame the zodiac so that you can save the world from havoc. Well, it's an exciting game, inspired by monster collection games such as Pokemon, and as of today, ranks numero uno in the list of the most popular Facebook games. Wander the land, and capture more and more monsters. The more monsters you have, the more your level increases. While playing, you'll learn how to make use of items, your monsters' powers, and other characters' attribute help. |
| Pet Society |
Developer: Playfish
All you pet lovers out there, have a great time with Pet Society where you can play games, decorate your house and garden, visit your friends, shop till you drop, hunt for treasure, and do many activities just to earn coins in the city.
