    Total Domination Review

    By

    Strategy games on Facebook have, to a certain degree, ossified around the time-consuming Travian formula of manufacturing resources, building armies, and battling other players for dominance and territory. Only variations in the GUI skin and the theme sometimes separate these games, which otherwise use a very standard interface. Total Domination: Nuclear Strategy is a take on this type of game that clearly wants to shake up some aspects of the formula, particularly the tendency toward Spartan, near-identical user interfaces.

    Bingo Blitz Review

    By

    Bingo Blitz is one of the new breed of Facebook games, as much about letting people play traditional games through the platform as the usual elements of virtual currency, collectibles, and experience levels. In Bingo Blitz players can use credits to purchase up to four bingo cards and play them all at once in games whose length is determined by total number of participants. Once a certain number of players have achieved a bingo, the game ends and everyone collects their winnings. Players can win coins to spend in the in-game shop, credits to buy more games, and collectibles.

    Dungeons of Dredmor Review

    By

    Dungeons of Dredmor is an RPG, but it's probably not the sort of game you imagine when you read those three genre-defining letters. Dungeons of Dredmor is what enthusiasts call a roguelike, a very challenging sort of dungeon-crawling RPG that descends from the classic PC game Rogue. The basic idea of this type of RPG is that you, a solo hero, must survive a gauntlet of randomly-generated dungeon levels with nothing but your wits, whatever equipment you can scrounge up, and whatever skills the game permits you to acquire.

    Roman Empire Review

    By

    On Facebook, social strategy games based on the classic online game Travian have turned into a booming business for developers like Kabam. Roman Empire is iFree Studio's attempt to bring the formula mobile, where the format faces certain challenges. Mobile handsets generally can't offer quite as much screen real estate as the average PC screen, and strategy games frequently revolve around carefully arranging detailed building icons on a series of maps. Roman Empire has removed this aspect of these games entirely, in favor of an interface that is almost entirely text-only.

    Six Gun Galaxy Review

    By

    Most role-playing games on Facebook are called text RPGs because, while they do feature quests and loot, there's no real sense of exploring a fictional world. There are no in-game maps or locations to explore on even the most rudimentary level. Six Gun Galaxy's role-playing portion is, comparatively, a great leap forward. It introduces area maps to explore and a world map that connects the game's areas together in a logical, convenient way. You can also invest in building up your own village in Six Gun Galaxy, but this part of the game is less of a leap forward when compared to competitors.

    Zoo Club Review

    By

    Zoo Club is an Android entry in the "social zoo management" genre, which you'd think wouldn't have quite so many entries. Regardless, like many other mobile social titles on Android, it feels like an early Facebook game. While Zoo Club does incorporate more modern features like real social mechanics and a quest tree, it's still missing a lot of basic features like proper zoom controls and the ability to turn music off. The core of the gameplay is typical enough, though, asking you to fill a zoo up with entertaining creatures that draw big crowds.

    Camelot: The Game Review

    By

    There's the whiff of a misspent premise around Camelot: The Game. The game is a tie-in to the Camelot series that Starz aired earlier this year and, rather curiously, formally canceled just a few weeks ago. The game's visuals are based directly on the look of the show, complete with photographs of the actors appearing both as decoration and in the tutorial (where the show's Merlin sends you through the steps of founding a village). Typically brand tie-in games on Facebook are very formulaic ones that leave lots of room for the license to shine, but Camelot: The Game has loftier goals.

    Pub Life Review

    By

    Variations on the basic café game formula have been big on Facebook for a while now, but this is one of the first we've seen that has you running a comical English pub. In Pub Life you can name your pub and then stock it with whatever combination of beers, teas, and snacks that you want to serve. Customers begin to arrive once you open your doors and will continue to stream in for 11-minutes. Customers who get a drink or snack and a seat to relax in give you pub points (experience), money, and boost your pub's reputation. If a customer leaves without being able to get served or find a seat, you lose reputation.
