Ever since I started to put up my Facebook account, there were so many game being offered in it and I myself confess that I have enjoyed playing games over Facebook. Although they were still some corny and sloppy games before but they still offered so much fun and enjoyment. Then came Zynga's Farmville, wherein almost all of my Facebook friends are playing it, invites poured into my message box asking me to be join up and be their neighbor. At first I hesitated but then again curiosity's sake I joined the fun. It was one hell of a ride but aas time went by, it became too redundant and boring. Cafe World also was a hit then but it never did get into my radar though I checked it once and left it fast. The Mafia Wars game was very intriguing, I joined up too, lasted about a few months then again while it lasted longer it became lame and and gain plain boring. After a few years on Facebook, I was exhausted, i didn't even opened my Facebook account often than it should be. I think I just open it for messages and greeting and no games at all. Hundreds of games are now available but still, I grew tired of the same plots, genres and gameplay that's why I left them all out. Recently, I was checking out Tetris Battle and I fell in love with it, because during my elementary days, it was the craze, we all bought our very own Tetris game ala "game and watch". It is a portable game console like a Nintendo Gameboy, but it's just Tetris and on other games in it. So up til now I still play Tetris battle and it was kinda fun, you never get tired of it's addictive gameplay, no wonder it is one of the best selling game when it first came out into the gaming world. So what game/games in Facebook do you like?

many of my friends are very excited with facebook games, but I don't know why I never really enjoy it. I just play farmville for sometime, but then quite since my network connection is very influence it and it make me hard to enjoy it.it's also make me so boring.then I do ever play game which I forget the title, but in that game we feed the pet.it's very boring than the previous game, but my brother keep recommended that game for me.well, actually I will more enjoy offline game than online game or facebook game.PC game such as PlantvsZombi or Insaniquarium is my favourite

Really?. Anyway it is okay if your not into games especially on Facebook. I have already seen some friends of mine who prefer to use Facebook as a social networking site perse and not as a gaming site. On the other hand, i do use Facebook merely for the games before, but now I grew tired of the games in it, they are too lame and boring, in addition they are just getting too redundant and time consuming.

At first when games introduce in Facebook I love to play Farmville and farmtown. Up to the point that all my friends I invited to join and I spent so much time just to play and reached to the highest level. I can say that Facebook is the reason why I'm gone here in mylot for so many years. I visited sometimes but not that much. But as we all know not all things in this world is permanent and playing too much may lead us to boredom. And then I switch to Cityville, Youville and a lot more. But after so many times playing now I ended up nothing to play and getting back here in mylot.

I not like playing game in facebook. I dont want to waste the time for playing game because I know now time is money. Lots of viruses also came in the computer due to game.

yeah there are games which are fronts of virus laden sites. Facebook on the other hand is a safe social site, and the games in it are all safe and virus free. Playing games doesn't necessarily mean wasting time, they do not compel you play for a longer time though, and it is up to you the player who will decide what time you will stop. For what i know, viruses can be acquired through game downloads, file sharing, flash drives, and emails.

Yeah that is true, Facebook is a social networking site that caters for people who likes to find new friends, communicate with familiar friends, family members, schoolmates, workmates and the like. It has been the most popular social site today. But what could have been the reason why Facebook has gone viral worldwide and has earned almost a billion users. The reason of them all are the games within Facebook itself. I can still remember the time when I registered with Facebook, it was Friendster who owns the most popular social site, including Myspace. But as time went by users got tired of the usual profile editing stuffs, and people got bored and they started looking for fresh things to work on their social networks. That's when Facebook introduced games within itself and there it goes, soaring to to new heights in social networking.

Likewise I had fun playing those games and I even tried almost everything within the game pages of Facebook. It was really a blast when you try to outsmart and out-level your friends in those games. But the more I played the same game for a while, I felt bored and got tired of redundancy. There are other games offered before, tried some of them, had fun but still they felt similar with the older games or they are just a combination of two games, fused together with a new plot. I am happy Tetris is here too and that is a welcome addition. I am a big fan of this game and I enjoy a lot playing it on 2 player battle. Facebook now for me is starting to look boring, and I hate those timeline feature. Right now I only log in to Facebook for the games but not to update my profile or check whats happening to my friends, I am tire of those updates and freaky photos that are posted.

Same here I was hooked with the same games you have mentioned before, like when I was still new on Facebook. It was enjoyable and fun competing with your friends but the longer I stayed and played with these games, they became too redundant and boring. New games are introduces once in a while, but still they have the same game mechanics like the old ones. They don't really attract my interest to try them out. Thankfully Tetris is here, I have been a fan of these game since the old school games of the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), tetris was my favorite puzzle game. Although as of now I haven't been on Facebook, still I play it at times. To tell you the truth I just log in on my Facebook account just to play Tetris, I don't even update my status anymore just playing the game that's all. I just got tired of the new features of Facebook, the timeline feature is trash, and the privacy features are horrible.

Same here I like console games, I have a Super Nintendo before, Sega Genesis, Playstation1 and Playstation 2. I have enjoyed every game those consoles have, in fact I still have some games on hand to play whenever i have time to play them again. I was planning to buy an Xbox before but because of its hefty price I withdrew from acquiring it. Instead I built myself a PC gaming rig, and it was a good choice. Facebook also provided me with some fun through its games, but as time passes by those games became too redundant and boring. I am happy that Tetris is out on Facebook, and that is the only game I enjoy playing on the site, nothing more, nothing less. I tried Ninja Saga but it requires some time to master and I am not up for it, so I quit anyway it is not my forte to play those kinds of games.
