Game: Big City Life

Despite the sudden popularity of farming, fishing, and treasure hunting on Facebook, the text RPG remains probably the most ubiquitous type of social game. Most are nearly interchangeable sets of repetitive missions focusing on gloomy action-movie themes like organized crime, vampires, dragons, or all of the above. Playdom's Big City Life takes the genre in an entirely different and welcome direction by basing its game around the mundane adventures of everyday urban life.
