Evolution Of Games On Facebook

April 28, 2010 by TrafficSecrets  

Online arcade websites, where you are able to play simple flash-based games, have been around for many years now. They are a good way to pass the time if you are bored or just feel like playing something fun. Recently, however, a new wave of online games have emerged via facebook. A lot of really popular online social websites like myspace and facebook allow users to share and play games together. And if you look at some of the most commonly played games on facebook, you would be astonished. These are not complicated games but they have tens of millions of players each day. And with facebook, you can usually invite your friends and compete against them in these games. Recently these online facebook games have had some negative press. This is because they often entice players to buy in-game currency, or fill out offers (like completing surveys) in order to get items and money in the game. Developing facebook games is naturally expensive, and these companies need to make profits in any way they can. However, you need to realize that if you are on these games a lot of the time, then it is not absolutely necessary to spend your hard earned money on in-game currency. Really, all you need to know is how to play the game properly - then you won’t need to cheat.

So what are some good facebook games? Well, a really good game that has a lot of players lately is Restaurant City, where the goal is to manage a profitable restaurant. In order to play this properly you will need a good Restaurant City guide. Books and tutorials for facebook and myspace games will usually instruct you on how to make money in the game and progress faster. But when you are looking for a guide, you will always need to do some research first, and don’t just buy the first thing you see. If you search Google you will often find some decent free guides. The problem is that free guides usually do not have much quality information, and they will not give you much of an edge compared to paid guides.

Once you are done playing Restaurant City, you should try playing Farm Town. In this game you are able to take control of a farm and try to succeed on your own. Perhaps you have come across or played FarmVille, which has a huge number of players. Farm Town is a similar game but it is a little less popular. If you want to dominate Farm Town, and achieve a far better farm than all your friends, then my best advice is to get your hands on a good Farm Town guide. Naturally, there is always the option of putting in the hours and learning how to become the best at the game by yourself. However, you will find that in order to get really good, you will need to spend a lot of time - and it’s not necessarily going to be fun.

One other very good facebook game you should get into is Happy Island. That might sound like a childish name, of course, but the game itself is definitely not bad. In this game your job is to manage and build and island, and create attractions that will entice visitors to turn up on your island. I really hope that you will be able to find a good Happy Island guide so that you can succeed in the game.
