Are there any that are actually good?
Every now and then something spacey catches my eye, but then I am all like "Ugh I gotta sign up and shit." Are there any that are worth the hassle?

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Hell no. Most games are either Cash grabber or click generators. That and a total waste of time.Havok wrote:Are there any that are worth the hassle?
The only game that was interesting was the Assassins Creed minigame because it gives a bit of background story and allegedly ingame xp-bonus. And that could have been made a uplay-flashgame without Facebook.

MArvel:Avenger's alliance is pretty good. (And fully playable wihtout spending a dime/)

Re: Facebook Games
After my initial obsession with Mobsters (yeah I know), I tried looking for games that would actually be fun to play. Sadly, it seems that even the big name games that could translate very well to Facebook are going to shit. Civilization, Dungeons and Dragons, Simcity...all have become repetitive clickfests that require you to spam a thousand people with invites to get anywhere meaningful. I've given up on Facebook games entirely.
You will be assimilated...bunghole!

Re: Facebook Games
I went into this thanks to this thread. I wasn't expecting much and... well, I was really pleasantly surprised. There don't seem to be any pay walls, everything is pretty reasonably costed, and most importantly, the fighting is actually fun. Pretty explosions, ships that can move in rather curious ways (you can strafeNephtys wrote:I worked on one game: http://apps.facebook.com/vegaconflict/

I will second Marvel Avengers Alliance. Tons of content, and perfectly playable for free.
