    Hollywood City Review

    By

    Do you like Digital Chocolate's Millionaire City? Chances are you do, if you've played it. It's Digital Chocolate's most popular game on Facebook, serving about 12 million monthly users and 2.6 million daily users. Why bring this up in a review of Hollywood City? Well, as it happens, Hollywood City and Millionaire City are basically the same game.

    Fashion Addict Preview

    By

    Fashion Addict is... kind of the dress-up oriented fashion game it appears to be at first glance. It's also part of the new breed of social games that puts a big emphasis on visual polish and mixing together gameplay mechanics from different genres. Right now, it's also a fashion game with no avatars, which can be a bit disorienting at first. Instead the emphasis is on running a boutique shop. You have a couple of mannequins to outfit with clothes as you unlock them or purchase them from other boutiques. Your goal is to sell clothes to passers-by who visit your boutique, make money, and buy better clothes.

    It Girl Review

    By

    It Girl may be the single greatest RPG on Facebook right now, combining complexity and accessibility with a masterful touch. The fashion theme and all-female avatars may be off-putting to male players more used to gender neutral games, but... well, sucks to be you in this case, male players. It Girl may be about amassing designer jewelry and dresses instead of swords and armor, and finding just the right handbag instead of mystic gems to socket into your equipment, but it still offers all the satisfaction of a traditional RPG.

    The Hidden Object Show on Facebook Preview

    By

    Most Facebook games are RPGs or tycoon-style sims. Until now, one of the most popular casual game genres, the hidden object game, has been almost completely absent from Facebook. The reason why probably has to do with the business model of Facebook games, which inevitably revolves around selling virtual goods to people. How do you make a free-to-play hidden object game that still convinces people to spend money? The Hidden Object Show is Gogii Games's attempt to make a Facebook-friendly hidden object game and it's shaping up quite well.

    CityZen Preview

    By

    You can argue that all of the city-building games now popular on Facebook descend from Will Wright's SimCity, but none of them resemble that game quite as strongly as CityZen does. CityZen incorporates classic SimCity play mechanics like disasters and keeping your townsfolk happy by carefully arranging roads and public amenities. Where other city-builders might have you level up by attracting citizens, CityZen progresses in a more SimCity-like manner. You level up simply by making your city bigger and bigger, keeping your citizens as happy as you can.

    CSI: Crime City Review

    By

    Facebook hasn't really seen the promised invasion of high-quality games from established, big-name developers using major licensed brands this year... until now, anyway. If CSI: Crime City is an example of what Ubisoft andArea/Code Entertainmentcan do when making a branded Treasure Madness clone... well, I'd hate to be a guy at a tiny start-up with no license making a random Treasure Madness clone. CSI: Crime City is one of the most immediately engaging treasure hunting games on Facebook, though it's cleverly disguised as a crime-solving game.

    Endless Chaos Preview

    By

    One of the most classic and popular PC game genres is the fantasy role-playing game, where you design a knight, ranger, mage, or other sort of hero (or heroes) and go questing. Whether you play them single-player or the massively multiplayer variety, RPGs are basically about killing bad guys and amassing loot. You'd think Facebook would be awash in fantasy RPGs given the popularity of the genre in PC download games, but that's not really the case. Peerflux's Endless Chaos is really only one of a handful of fantasy-themed games on Facebook, let alone fantasy RPGs. Most Facebook RPGs end up being about mobsters and fashion models.

    Treasure Abyss Preview

    By

    A common criticism "core" gamers level at Facebook games is that they are fundamentally unchallenging. Beyond the threat of your crops withering, there's no way to fail. Instead you can only be set back somewhat. Whoever designed Namco Bandai's Treasure Abyss seems to have taken these complaints to heart, because this is one of the very few Facebook games in which you can die and have to start over. You can also easily end up in situations where you can't really make any progress until you convince a friend to join you in the game.
