5 Must Play Facebook Games
You can publicly deny it but lets be honest, we spend a considerable amount of time on Facebook. It’s the central hub of all web related activities; from reading news feeds, to posting exciting links. In today’s fast-paced world, social networks are an active part of every netizen’s day. They act as a communication medium as well as a place to have some fun. Facebook is known for its apps and some of the best apps consist of free games. I am listing below five of my favorite games on Facebook.
Bouncing Balls
I am sure a lot of you out there have played Zuma. Bouncing Balls is Zuma redefined and made simpler. It’s like a mix between Tetris and Zuma, so instead of a large circular grid, the colored balls approach you in vertical grid. The objective is to group three or more balls of the same color. It’s fairly simple, and that’s why it’s so addictive. The game is simple and light and loads fairly quickly. As always, the game features leader-boards, so you can post your scores online.

Bowling Buddies
Bowling games are a part of every casual game kitty; from the Nokia N-Gage Platform to the iPhone. This particular game gets my vote as its way too feature-rich for an online game. The game offers 2 modes; Challenge and Practice, plus an online store to buy custom items. As the name suggests you can challenge any of your friends and play the game in multiplayer. The controls are all mapped on the mouse and are fairly simple. The game gives you the option to play in 2D or 3D, which doesn’t really make a difference as the game isn’t too heavy and loads fairly quickly. I like the overall look of the game and the game modes. It’s really good for a free online game. Get the game here.
Word Power
This is one game that will make you smarter while you have fun and compete with your friends. A simple game based on Scrabble, it gives you a time limit and a set of alphabets. You need to identify and arrange as many words as possible within the least amount of time. Correct words are displayed on a grid and your score depends on the time taken. The game can be quite challenging and addictive. I would recommend this only to those who enjoy a challenge. It may be categorized as casual but believe me it’s not. Get the game here.
Texas Hold’em Poker
Gambling is a bad habit, but Texas Hold’em Poker is an iteration of gambling that is good for you. There is no real money involved, so obviously its legal and its on Facebook. The game is one of the most popular apps on FB and rightly so. You can create a game, invite friends, join a random table and post your achievements on your Wall. The game allows you to transfer money into your friends accounts and invite them anytime. Get the game here.
Desktop Tower Defense
One of the most addictive casual games of all time is also available on FB. Desktop TD is fairly simple to learn but hard to master. A bunch of creeps keep attacking your desktop and it’s up to you to build towers and eliminate the creeps. There are various types of towers, all of which can be upgraded. Desktop TD is a must play.
