The most popular social networking website in the world, Facebook is now the reason you hand in your assignments late, stay up until 3am in the morning, and making you glued to your Iphone every 15 minutes. For the addicts, a day without Facebook can spell sheer disaster for them. One of the most interesting things Facebook offers to its users is its games feature. They are easy to learn, supports multiple players and most importantly, addictive. Today we ask a host of Facebook users why the games feature keeps them hooked for hours.





One of the popular Facebook games is Mafia Wars. This game requires players to dedicate a great amount of time. With over 24.5 million active users, you can easily see why this game is so addictive. One player who spends hours on this game is Daniel, “I find Mafia Wars a great way to pass time, especially when there is nothing to do. It is certainly addictive and very challenging.”





Another 1 of the popular games is Restaurant City. This game has been a hit among female users and secondary school students. “I find the characters cute, and I have many friends playing this game, hence I jumped on the bandwagon” Kim, a Restaurant City player said.





For gamblers out there, and poker players in particular, Texas Hold’em Poker on Facebook is a great way to hone your skills and decision making. It’s played like real poker, except using virtual chips and played against players where you can’t actually see their face. Chong, a player who amassed over a million poker chips, claimed that this poker game is “very close to the real thing, and we always run the risk of losing everything due to a wrong decision. Hence proper decision making and lots of luck is required.”


Well dear readers, this is it for now, stay tuned for our next segment of Facebook and gaming, while we conduct more interviews and reviews of the most popular Facebook games.
