Facebook Pages & the Games We Love

The latest fad in game development and the dissemination of news seems to be Facebook. Yep, you heard it right: Facebook is the new kid on the news block. Proving that gaming news sites and individual game sites aren't the end-all-be-all, Facebook pages are blossoming.

It's an intelligent move, really. Facebook is an international phenomenon that literally spans the globe. And, truthfully, it's SO much less 'trashy' than MySpace.

Here are a few of the Facebook game sites you can check out:

• APB
• Jumpgate Evolution
• City of Heroes

As more crop up, we'll keep you posted. In the meantime, YOU tell US your thoughts about this newest rage in gaming.

I never used myspace and have never used facebook, and never will. I hardly have a grasp at what the website really is, anyway. But if I am not mistaken, its not something a gamer frequents. Why move there? Do they think it would be easier to target a non-gaming audience?

I think this is more of a PR move to "cover all bases", through any possible media and venue. The value returned might be lower than, say a big ad on Warcry, but you'll still get a bunch of socialites adding "Jumpgate" to the Friends List, giving more exposure to non-gamers.
