    1 vs 100 on Facebook Review

    By

    iWin has expanded its line of game show adaptations for Facebook with 1 vs 100, based on the American incarnation of Endemol's internationally successful series. The basic idea of 1 vs 100 is that a person tries to answer more trivia questions correctly than the Mob, a gathering of 100 people. Each question the contestant answers correctly ups the stakes, letting him or her earn a sum of money that increases for every member of the Mob eliminated. Successive questions grow more valuable, eventually letting the contestant risk everything for thousands of dollars in the game's final rounds.

    X City Review

    By

    PapayaMobile and Aidi Game's oddly named X City is possibly one of the most solid city-builders currently available for Android. While a lot of Android social games tend to just offer watered-down versions of what's already old hat to Facebook players, X City makes a point of including every single feature a social gamer could possibly want. More than just being present, X City's features are also packed into a cleverly-designed GUI that lets you quickly access any menu you'd need without overwhelming your phone's screen icons and other distractions.

    Glass Breaker Review

    By

    Glass Breaker is something quite unusual for Facebook: it's an arcade-style game that includes no role-playing or virtual currency elements whatsoever. It's not a game where you can level up, gain experience, pursue quests, or buy anything of note. Instead, Glass Breaker is a fairly traditional Breakout clone, one of those games where you break bricks by bouncing a ball off of a paddle. It takes most of its level design and power-up cues from the king of Breakout clones, Taito's Arkanoid series. Glass Breaker isn't on Arkanoid's level when it comes to quality, but it still makes for a reasonably good Facebook time-waster.

    The Smurfs & Co Review

    By

    Something about the Smurfs license is terribly friendly to social gaming, especially of the city-building variety. The Smurfs & Co takes more cues from FrontierVille than Capcom's Smurfs social game, Smurfs' Village, but actually manages to make the formula feel fresh, fun to play, and appropriate to the license. In The Smurfs & Co you've been tasked by Papa Smurf with building a new Smurf settlement as part of a complicated plot that involves making a magic potion to defeat Gargamel. For most of the game, though, you simply focus on trying to chop down weeds, build Smurfy buildings, and attract more Smurfs to your village.

    The A-List Review

    By

    Many different Facebook games, in many different genres, have tried to embrace the theme of Hollywood celebrity. None of these games have captured the Hollywood feel as well as The A-List, a Facebook role-playing game where you take control of a budding actor or actress. You pursue a long series of quests that let you create and promote films, gathering up money, collectibles, and other items along the way. Your goal is to increase your fame level, which involves spending resources you've earned making films on a city-building portion of the game. The idea seems to be that you win by building up a luxurious Hollywood lifestyle.

    S.O.S Review

    By

    It's been a long time since FrontierVille was even a top Zynga game, let alone a top Facebook game. Despite that, developers are still rushing out FrontierVille clones like S.O.S., which replaces FrontierVille's Wild West theme with a tropical deserted island theme. In S.O.S., you slowly build a village, grow crops, and try to rescue other survivors (i.e., your friends playing the game) to join your tribe. While there have been other "castaway" themed games on Facebook, most of them have used fairly different styles of play.

    Fate of the Pharaoh Review

    By

    City-building exploded into one of the top genres on Facebook, so it's not surprising to see it also blossoming in the more traditional world of casual gaming. Fate of the Pharaoh is a take on city-building that's designed around tactics rather than strategy, asking you to develop a variety of settlements along the river Nile that meet specific goals.

    MapleStory Adventures Review

    By

    MapleStory Adventures is a Facebook spinoff of the hit free-to-play MMO MapleStory, using a similar visual style. The main difference is that MapleStory Adventures is more of a straight single-player RPG on Facebook, using social elements in place of true multiplayer elements. The game launches festooned with traditional MMORPG elements like crafting, pets, and quests available in tweaked, Facebook-friendly form. The depth of content is almost unprecedented in Facebook gaming and sure to keep players clicking away at monsters for ages.
