MMORPG.com's newest employee Bill Murphy writes his first contribution to the MMORPG.com Staff Blog, writing about Facebook games.
As passionate gamers, I know we love to bash the fad that is Facebook gaming. Farmville, Mafia Wars, and all of Zynga's other offerings to most gamers are nothing more than shallow time-wasters for folks addicted to the e-stalking tool that is Mark Zuckerberg's college project. I would even be inclined to agree, except I'm also brave enough to admit that I'm a level 27 farmer with a huge plot of land in Farmville, thanks to the urgings of my fiancée to hop on the tractor. I would say “wield the hoe”, but then people might think I'm talking about her and I'd like to keep the woman as my future bride.
Cheers,

Its fun to play if u are bored at work and i think thats what it is supposed to be used xD.
Someone got me to try Realm of Empires on Facebook. It was a fun initial few weeks until I discovered you could be attacked 24/7 and people were rotating coverage. How absurd, I left, what a dumb game.
I ignore any facebook game now.
