Fighting for Freedom: World War
Mission Home World War is a Facebook game in the same family as Mafia Wars and Vampire Wars. You use energy points to do missions, and as you complete the levels of missions you move up in levels and get new missions. Additionally, you can battle other players for bonus cash. Fake cash, obviously. What [...]

My awesome treehouse in YoVille! YoVille is a great little game for people who like to build their own characters and create a more realistic fantasy life. Not unlike the Sims, YoVille is a game where you design your character and decorate their house. You then take your character through their world, performing activities and [...]
Become a Secret Celebrity!
Facebook games don't come more “social” than this! Two entrepreneurs, Brian Fudge and Michael Mikikian, co-founders of Gickup, are hoping to bring the thrill back in social gaming this time with REAL social games. They have developed a platform that facilitates the creation of multi-player video chat games where people could play OR watch. It’s [...]
Cooking for Fun and Profit: Cafe World
Cookin' up a storm! True story about me and Cafe World: I used to play this game SO much that my friends collectively begged me to take a break. I had a streak of almost 200 days where I cooked something each day. It’s safe to say that I love this game. It has all [...]
CastleVille
Lords and Ladies and castles, oh my! Zynga’s new game, Castleville, is one of the hottest new Facebook games. If you’re an active face-gamer, you probably have friends that are playing this game already. And for good reason. It’s a beautiful game, with simple and familiar gameplay. You build cottages, raise crops and livestock–do you [...]
Enchanted Forest Living: Gnome Town
Gnome Town is quite possibly the most adorable game in the history of Facebook games. You play a gnome, like the kind you see in a Travelocity ad or your grandma’s garden. You rescue cute little furry creatures from the Evil Gnome and attempt to restore the good king to power. As you rescue cute [...]
Search the World in the Quest for the Golden McRib
This makes me hungry If you enjoy encountering Viking accountants, searching for golden sandwiches or are a big fan of McDonald’s, you need to play the Quest for the Golden McRib game on Facebook. The company developed the Facebook game to promote their limited time release of the McRib sandwich, but even if you won’t [...]

If you’re the kind of person who can’t wait to get engaged so you can plan your wedding, this is [...]
Gardens of Time
Can you spot the gnome? Gardens of time is a gorgeous Facebook game, as the picture above shows. You have been recruited to join a society of time-travelers who attempt to keep the threads of history correct and continuous. Your job is to find and remove things that are not part of the historical record [...]
Put Your Best Outfit Forward With Coco Girls
Are you a Coco girl? MetroGames may be based in Argentina, but some of their Facebook game releases have been huge hits in the United States. Auto Hustle gave Grand Theft Auto fans a place to express their inner crime lord, while Fashion World and Mall Dreams appealed more to young girls who wanted to [...]
Get a (Virtual) Life: Sims Social
What? MORE housework for me to do? The Sims Social is a classic game, originally on PC and now available as a Facebook game. In The Sims Social, you create a virtual life for yourself and your character and you interact with your friends. I like the skill set options. You start with a computer, [...]
Ahoy Matey! Gone Fishin’ in FishHunt
I’ve been fishing mad ever since I was a youngen, so when I saw HitGrab‘s Facebook Game Fishhunt I had to get my fins into it. Sailing about in my little fishing boat i’ve been catching all kinds of trophies and even a Left Boot. Living the fishin life on Facebook aint that easy though, [...]
A song you won’t forget anytime soon in Chicken Lines!
This little gem was posted in The Facebook Games Forum and we just couldn’t resist posting about it after we heard the creepily addictive song in the video. I think I liked this game even before I played it just from listening to the song in the video. What I like about Chicken Lines Facebook [...]
Total Domination
This is Total Domination, a Facebook Game which has impressed me over the past few days. I am a big fan of the 2D animations and artwork used in the game. It feels rich and inviting. The game itself plays much like Backyard Monsters but it is obvious that Plarium have tried to develop the [...]
CRAZED FAN CRYING “I just don’t know what I would do without Facebook games”
Is there such thing as being TOO addicted to Facebook games? Incoming search terms for the article:fan crying Read More…
Quizaniacs!
I like a good quiz, but I wouldn’t say I’m a huge fan of quiz games. However, Quizaniac Facebook game had me scrambling to answer questions and win Quizors like there is no tomorrow. I found Quizaniac to have just the right balance to interest me. The user interface is simple but still displays enough [...]
Mischeif with Miscrits!
I’ve been waiting a long time for a Facebook game which does justice to the battle-pet genre. Miscrits is closely copied from the Pokemon games on the handheld gameboy consoles. Nevertheless, I loved playing pokemon on gameboy in my younger days and I love playing Miscrits on Facebook now. It is a fantstic game and [...]
Set the streets on fire with Streetrally!
Today’s new Facebook game reminds me of the original Grand Theft Auto. I loved racing around colliding with pedestrians in GTA. But fortunately there’s no killing in Streetrally(booo!). Instead, players race around a track in similar fashion to micro machines, just not so micro(no big pencils i’m afraid). StreetRally puts you behind the wheel [...]
Zynga considering going down the sequel path (Facebook)
Much of Zynga’s unparalelled success has been thanks to the “ville” line of games: FarmVille, FrontierVille, CityVille. But while those games share many common characteristics, up until this point Zynga hasn’t released a direct sequel to any of it’s games. According to chief game designer Brian Reynolds, though, that may change. Read More…
Interview: Zabu Studio brings designer board games to Facebook (Facebook)

World Golf Tour Review (Facebook)
Gamezebo Rating: World Golf Tour is the brightest title in a recent proliferation of beautiful and satisfying golf games on Facebook, and it follows and improves upon the exciting developmental trends established by its competition. From its breathtakingly realistic courses to its surgically precise swings and putting motions, this is a true golfer’s social game, [...]
Treasure Land Review (Facebook)
Gamezebo Rating: Treasure Land is a Treasure Isle clone, which is a fairly unusual thing to encounter in early 2011. What’s interesting about Treasure Land is how it clones Treasure Isle. While the current version of Treasure Isle puts a big emphasis on quests that require players to spam notifications at each other, Treasure Land [...]
FarmVille English Countryside gets real as Zynga unleashes sheep in New York and London (Facebook)

Poseidon’s Realm Review (Facebook)
Gamezebo Rating: This may be hard to believe, but Poseidon’s Realm actually does something new and interesting with the well-trod match-3 puzzle formula.

Zynga Japan announces new CEO (Facebook)

Deep Realms Review (Facebook)
Gamezebo Rating: Facebook is full of role-playing games, but deep, turn-based, console-style RPGs are still pretty rare. Deep Realms manages to take virtually everything that makes the genre great—including an engaging story, lots of character customization, and a beautiful fantasy world to explore—and crams it on to a social network, with only a few minor [...]
Bubble Speed Review (Facebook)
Gamezebo Rating: This is starting to get confusing. Bubble Speed is not only one of many Facebook puzzlers built off of the Bust-a-Move formula, but like all of those games it also has bubble in the title. With a structure lifted from Popcap’s Blitz series, the game doesn’t offer a whole lot new, but it’s [...]
MinoMonsters Review (Facebook)
Gamezebo Rating: MinoMonsters is another attempt at creating a clone of Nintendo’s super-popular Pokemon series for Facebook. This stab at social monster collecting dispenses with social mechanics almost completely and zeroes in on the monster battling and collecting aspect of the game. The game makes a lot of the right calls with regard to not [...]
Syfy jumping into Facebook development (Facebook)
The Syfy network has announced that it’s getting into social game development, starting with a slate of unannounced Facebook games set to release later this year. Read More…
