Game: Monstermind

Let's admit it. Even after a couple of years' worth of innovations, the man on the street is still likely to think that gaming on Facebook consists of endless variations on FarmVille and showing off neatly planned digital creations to anyone else who happens to be playing. (That, and bugging your buddies for a flowerpot or some other trivial prop.) Bossa Studios' Monstermind seeks to smash those assumptions, and to smash all your friends' hard work with a rogue's gallery of monsters in the process. It's a stellar idea, and one that turns Facebook's worn-out tropes on their heads at a time when they need it most.
