In it’s latest acquisition, Facebook publisher Playdom has purchased the social game developer Offbeat Creations for an undisclosed amount. Offbeat Creations is responsible for 8 Facebook applications, including Water Balloon Fight and Be a Tycoon. Their most popular title, Super Farkle, has more than a million players.

Offbeat Creations isn’t the first purchase made by Playdom. The publisher acquired both the Facebook developer Green Patch and the iPhone developer Trippert Labs last November. With the $43 million raised in venture capital last fall, something tells me this is far from Playdom’s last acquisition in 2010.
