The Top 10 Facebook Games Of The Week


This week’s Top 10 applications and gainers for the week both show very little change. The two lists are shown below with their latest stats. To change things up this week, I thought we would hold a little ‘for fun’ contest – bragging rights only here folks.

In the comments section below, list the Top 3 Developers on Facebook as of today, January 18, 2010, in the exact order, based on how many monthly users they have.

Your choices are:

Facebook, Playfish, Causes, LOLApps, CrowdStar, Zynga, MindJolt, Playdom, RockYou!

We will announce next week the name of the commenter who posted the correct answer first

First off, Happy New Year to all of our Top 10 followers! We hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable holiday season

For our first ‘Top 10′ of 2010, we are seeing very little change, with all the usual suspects populating this weeks’ list. Here are the latest rankings, along with their average monthly users count:

This past weeks Top 10 Gainers list showcases a few new applications worthy of a look. gained an extremely impressive 8+ million users. This app allows you to add animated graphics, comments, and all sorts of goodies to your pictures for fun or glamour. A few of the comments on their discussion board detail user frustrations with the number of Blingee’s appearing on their wall – easily remedied by clicking the Block Application link located at the top left of the application page, under the app photo.

**TIP** You can block any application directly on its app homepage, by clicking on the Block Application link.

 

Our Featured App this week does not appear on either of our lists, but we expect to see it soon: .

This new strategy game is based on EA’s game released in back in February, and is adapted for Facebook by Lolapps, Inc. From the developers:

Become Dante, returning home from the Crusades to find your wife has been murdered and her soul sent to Hell. Fight through the Nine Circles of Hell and get Beatrice back!

Reviews so far seem very positive – apart from one player claiming the game idea was stolen from him. Otherwise, this one looks to be a great way to eliminate your gaming boredom and start the new year off with something fresh!

As the year comes to a close, this is the last Top 10 list that we will be posting for 2009!

There are not many changes in this weeks list – just a jostling of positioning for our regulars. FarmVille of course still firmly holds onto the #1 spot, with very little movement in total users over the holiday.

This week’s Top 10:

There are plenty of new faces on this weeks Top Gainers list, including two super applications to round out your year on Facebook.

is a neat application that pulls a random selection of your status’s from the year, and puts them into a collage. You have a choice of templates to post them onto, and can edit up the caption you wish to appear. Unfortunately you cannot select which specific status updates appear on the list, but the application is new and hopefully open for improvement. Definitely worth your time to take a look.

By the same developer as above, has also been released. Similar to the Status collage, this takes 16 random photos from your albums and places them into a collage. Here you can choose which ones you would like to appear, as well as the look of the frame the photos appear in. I absolutely love this idea and it was fun clicking through the photos to make up our image. This app falls just short of our Top 10 list (#13), but I suspect will be near the top next week.

Toping the list this week is a new application geared specifically for the Italian community on Facebook. gives users the opportunity to connect as the application has been completely designed in Italian. Definitely worth a look if you are looking for a little Italy!

CrowdStar, the developers of Happy Aquarium and Happy Pets, has released its latest virtual world – . Reviews so far are very positive and as the players flock over, the game will definitely grow and expand. Worth a look

With the busy holiday season upon us, our Top 10 Facebook Applications list is proving people are finding a little less time to visit their favorite applications over the past week.

The overall monthly average users for almost all of our Top 10 list dropped this past week, with the exception of FarmVille and Birthday Cards. Causes lost another 3 million users, FarmVille experienced a very modest gain of players, and Birthday Cards zoomed up to our #3 spot.

A new addition to the list this week is in the #10 position. As more people are on the go, out and about, this app that integrates Facebook onto your iPhone is surely going to get even more popular this season.

Here is this weeks list:

Nothing overly exciting appearing on our Top 10 Gainers this week. Most of the apps experiencing gains are seasonal ones that will most likely be dropping off in the next week or two. However, it is interesting to see that Zynga’s new PetVille seems to be growing much slower than it’s popular sister games; FishVille, Cafe World and FarmVille.

Here we are with this weeks Top 10 Facebook Applications list, yet again!

Cafe World has moved right up into the #2 spot, while both Causes and Social Interview lost between 3,000,000 and 4,000,000 actively monthly users over this past week. I suspect the “newness” of Social Interview wearing off is the root of its’ drop, but if anyone has any insight into Causes dropping so drastically, we would love to hear your opinions in the Comments section below!

Birthday Cards makes its first appearance on our list this week; the result of millions sending Holiday Greeting cards to friends and family.

Top 10 Facebook App Gainers For December 14, 2009

 

Our Top Gainer this week is PetVille, just as we predicted it would be in our Top List for December 7th post. PetVille accumulated 10+ million players over the past week and is sure to be on our Top 10 list soon.

The balance of the Gainers list is mostly Christmas related applications, but we did do a little digging and found a super app called for those of you celebrating Hanukkah

App of The Week

Our App of The Week, not shown on either of our lists, but one I am positive we will see shortly is Zynga’s new PetVille. Just released onto Facebook back on December 2nd, and already gaining 944,000+ users, PetVille is sure to be a chart addition next week.

– Create your own virtual pet, decorate his/her home, and help keep him clean! It so far seems to be a cross between YoVille and Pet Society. Keep in mind it’s in beta, so there are likely the usual Zynga related wonkiness to work out. Worth a look…

App Warning!

Our App Warning goes out to the latest in a series of phishing applications, called Activate, created solely to steal your Facebook password and personal information.

For the curious readers we have, Activate can be found at – DO NOT INSTALL IT!

We sent out a warning late last week about a similar application called Account Verification, that has since been removed by Facebook. “Activate” will surely be terminated as well, but in the meantime, keep your personal data safe by reading the warning details we have posted at: Facebook Phishing Applications

We have two new additions to our Top 10 Facebook Applications list, with one zooming up out of no where and the other my prediction from last week.

I predicted last week that we would see FishVille not only in our Top 10, but in the #7 position. I was close! FishVille made it to #8 as of this mornings’ application data. In just a few short weeks we have seen over 20 million new players start their aquarium collection.

However, the big news today is the surge of Social Interview out of nowhere to land at #3, with a whopping 31 million users. Social Interview asks you 20-25 questions about your friends and your life.

The reviews on this application are extremely positive! One review in particular summed up what I suspect makes Social Interview so appealing:

social interview allows me to express ma(sic) feeling without jurisdiction. i love it

Here is this weeks Top 10 list:

On our Top 10 Gainers list this week, we are seeing a few new ones worth your time to check out:

Fish Isle – Escape from the hustle and bustle of land living and move out to sea in Fish Isle! Create your own fish farm, decorate your personal tropical getaway, visit friends on nearby islands, and much, much more.

Reviews of Fish Isle so far are extremely positive. There seems to be a few connectivity issues, but that has been the norm for all too many applications the past week or two, so don’t use that as a gauge of the apps’ entertainment value.

seems to be gathering mixed reviews and is a one time use app until the developers start mixing up their content. Otherwise, some good fun.

Once again we see the usual suspects topping the Top 10 Facebook Applications leader board!

FarmVille, Causes and Cafe World hold onto first, second and third respectively. Causes did lose about 500,000 users, allowing Cafe World the opportunity to creep up a little closer to that second spot.

Continuing to gain massive ground on our Top 10 list is FishVille, with an impressive 6.7 million additional users this past week. You don’t see it on this weeks list as it falls into the 13th spot of our Top 10, but based on the past few weeks, I suspect we will see it around #7 next week!

Also closing in on our Top 10 list is ; a fabulous application for those of you wanting to take Facebook off your desktop PC.

There are a few interesting new applications gracing our Top Gainers list week as well, including some seasonal goofy fun from an app called Snowball Fight.

The “New App On The Block” goes out to , developed by CrowdStar; the makers of Happy Aquarium. Happy Pets is a game where you can take care of a variety of pets. Decorate rooms, feed and play with your pets and watch them grow and be happy. With the super success of Happy Aquarium, I don’t doubt we will see Happy Pets nearing the Top 10 soon.

Our “App Warning” goes out to Moment of Truth; one of those scary apps where we can supposedly find out what people honestly think about us. Reports are this one is full of spam, and won’t allow you to disable posting to your wall – most likely the reason it has gained so many users this past week. If this app continues to insist on publishing with out permission, I suspect Facebook will have it pulled shortly…

If you are looking for more animal fun, take a peek at Zoo World developed by RockYou!. It looks to be a fun game where you can build up your own zoo, collect and breed animals, hunt for treasure, and trade with your friends. We will be keeping our eye on this one!

Once again it’s time for our Top 10 Facebook Applications, and a new addition to our weekly updates – the Top 10 Facebook App Gainers of The Week.

This week, we see the regular rif-raf holding onto the top 10 with a little juggling for position. Mafia Wars drops once again, down to the 5th spot, whereas FarmVille continues to hold onto a commanding lead in top spot.

Cafe World, maintaining a strong #3 spot, may actually overtake Causes in the coming weeks. If you have not yet played Cafe World, now is the time to jump in and test out your culinary skills. Tomorrow, Tuesday November 17th, is Cafe World’s Super Sliders day, with special culinary delights provided by developer Zynga in thanks for the application reaching 1 million fans.

The big news this past week is the rise, fall, and then rise again of Zynga’s new FishVille. After being taken offline by Facebook for some questionable advertising connections earlier last week, FishVille opened back up and the players flooded right in.

Happy Aquarium gained approximately 16 million users over the past month, but FishVille looks like it will easily surpass that, with an astounding 9+ million new user’s filling up their new fish tanks with goodies this week alone.

The “New App On The Block” goes out to Addict – an application that supposedly reveals your Facebook addiction level. However, before you rush out to try this one, read the reviews. Almost every single reviewer is reporting major spam issues after installing the application.

Our Top 10 Facebook Applications list is a little late this week, but here none the less!

The Top 10 this week has not changed at all in ranking, with FarmVille, Causes, and Cafe World remaining in the top 3. I doubt we will see anyone de-throne FarmVille for quite some time. Zynga continues to release new seasonal items, including Maple Trees, Turkeys, and giftable American flags as recently as this morning.

The big user gainers this past week were Happy Aquarium, and surprisingly Mafia Wars. Mafia Wars, with its new expansion locations, continues to pull the players in on a consistent basis!

Happy Aquarium continues to increase it’s player base, despite the new release of Zynga’s FishVille. With FishVille being taken offline for a few days by Facebook for advertising violations, Happy Aquarium most likely will be able to hold onto a solid lead for the weeks to come.

Here is our list for this week:

As I predicted last week, we saw some interesting movement in this weeks Top 10 Facebook Applications. While FarmVille continues to hold onto the top spot, gaining a handful of new users over the past week, Mafia Wars has been bumped from it’s normal #3 spot, in favor of the latest rage – Cafe World.

I am sure Zynga doesn’t mind, since they own all three; FarmVille, Mafia Wars and Cafe World, but they seem to have some competition creeping up behind them from last weeks biggest gainer – Happy Aquarium. They jumped from #10 last week to #5 this week. Both Cafe World and Happy Aquarium gained a little over 4 million active monthly users each.

Happy Aquarium is developed by CrownStar, a new developer to the Facebook scene. With no other active games or applications on record for them, I am sure the success they have experienced so far will encourage more from them.

The remainder of the list contains the usual suspects, with just a little jostling for position; Causes, Pet Society, Farm Town, YoVille, Texas Hold’em Poker, and We’re Related.

Here is our list for this week:

Not a big surprise to see the top 3 Facebook applications remain the same this week, with FarmVille, Causes and Mafia Wars taking the one, two and three spots respectively. But, it is amazing to see FarmVille gain an additional 1.6 million average monthly users. There are no signs of its’ popularity slowing down!

Cafe World was the impressive “mover’n’shaker” this week, jumping from the #7 spot last week and slipping nicely into 4th with an impressive 4.5 million player gain. We expect Cafe World to keep gaining – maybe even knock out Mafia Wars next week?

Other applications held steady this week, most with a moderate increase in their average monthly users base, but the new kid on the block in our Top 10 List is Happy Aquarium, with over 18 million average monthly players. They also experienced the largest user base growth this week, with an average daily growth of 4.31%. We have not yet added any tips or tricks for Happy Aquarium here at TheF.B.I, but I can say that if you have young children, they will love making the fish play and swim. My 10 month old daughter loves watching them!

Here is our list for this week:

FarmVille blows away the rest of the Top 10 Facebook Application pack this week, with a staggering average number of monthly users – 60,004,523 to be exact! Additional games from Facebook application developer Zynga, continue to place in the top 5. Both YoVille and Texas Hold’em Poker keep a respectable average of 19,000,000 players returning each month.

While not in the top 10, BejeweledBlitz jumped up the leader board this week with the recent release of their new format. They reported that 90 million games were played over the 24 hour period of October 9th. Have you tried it yet? Go ahead – it’s fun!
