2. FarmVille
FarmVille, the game that enslaves…(ahem) I mean gives you the enjoyment of owning your own farm. FarmVille launched for Facebook in the middle of 2009 and social gamers have been farmvilling it up ever since. FarmVille allows players to plant different crops and farm said crops along with animals and trees. When harvesting crops, animals, or trees you gain coins.
Coins are your currency and allow you to buy things like decorations. Decorations come in all shapes and sizes from colored bales of hay to houses and the obvious barns which also serve as a storage space. Different events are held for various occasions including Valentine’s Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
It's a simple concept, but it's definitely an addictive one.
