Games on Facebook

11 years ago

Do you play games on Facebook? Which ones do you like and do you pay to play? I play Words with Friends and Solitaire Blitz. Words is always free but you can only get to a certain level on Solitaire Blitz and then you have to pay. I'd never pay to play a game.

So what do you play? I need some new ones.

you will have to allow sharing for that game if you want to play it. I am a huge fan of Farmville but have to admit, when clicking on 'gifts' from other players that seem too good to be true, I have gotten my computer infected. If you don't have the ability to clean up your computer when it gets nasties or have a tech on speed dial, it may not be your best choice.

I will caution you on using any of those type applications on a facebook page it is much safer to go to the actual game site home page and play there, any app like that on facebook can be and have often been altered to infect a users pc by changing the scripting of the app. I urge people to NEVER use any type of 3rd party app on facebook or any other social networking site, people set those things up specifically to entice people to use them and get infected. Since you have been using them I would urge you to download, update and run a full scan with malwarebytes free to see if you are possibly infected. Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware for a reality check just go to google and search for facebook virus for just a few of the many types of infections out there. Facebook and my space are a hackers dream land.

I love Shockwave and I really love their jigsaws. They have many kinds of games there, some are pay to play, which I don't do either, but find lots to do for free.

Do you pay to play internet games?

No I wouldn't pay to play games on the computer. Even the train game. I enjoy it when it is free, but I tire of things really easily. If I play some games too long I see them behind my eyelids when I am trying to go to sleep at night. I think it works on my mind. My mother told me once that she never learned how to crochet from her mother. The reason was that DGM went to the doctor and the doctor told her she had to quit crocheting because it was working on her mind. This would have been in the days of kerosene lamps, thus not very good light. I think the same thing happened to her as it does to me. I do play yahoo pinochle and euchre. Right now I am doing jigsaw puzzles on shockwave, but I can't do it for very long or I see the pieces when I want to go to sleep. I also do the shanghai dynasty that someone mentioned on here and I like that. Also spider solitaire and majong titans. So I admit I love games but I would never pay for them.

I play the Mindjolt games on Facebook. You don't have to pay to play and you can challenge your friends if you want or just play to best your own score.

I play Words With Friends and Scrabble.

Dedtired, the two games are very similar, but the placement of the DW, TL, etc., is different on the two boards. The design of the screen isn't the same either. There are lots of little differences, too. Although with WWF you can hit Play and then decide if you really want to play the word, you can't do that with Scrabble. But you can look the word up in an on-screen dictionary first. (I miss being able to challenge a word.) And when you put your letters down (before clicking Play) it will tell you how many points your move is worth.

The one difference I don't like is that I have to refresh Scrabble all the time. But I do enjoy both games.

Thanks, Alisande. I wish WWF would tell you the point value of the word in advance of hitting play. I get frustrated trying out to figure the best move -- although as we all know the highest alue word is not always the best move!

I tried Bejeweled Blitz this morning and I don't get what you are supposed to do.

Are there other word games that are fun and free?
