[singlepic id=2408 w=580 h=330 float=none]Move over, Farmville. IGG and Kalydo have announced a new partnership and are banding together to bring two (previously downloadable) games direct to your browser via social networks such as Facebook.
Soon you’ll be able to feed your addiction for adorable, pixel-based adventure in seconds rather than waiting for long tedious client downloads and patches; valuable time that could be better used farming for rares. It’s a whole new level of efficiency! (Though probably not the kind you’d want to brag to your boss about.)
GodsWar Online, set in Ancient Greece and chock full of Gods, Heroes, quests and battles with legendary monsters, is set to be the first available with beta testing beginning on Facebook this December. Dreamland Online, a world of fairy tales and childhood stories (and itself still a brand new game) will be the next to follow.
With an anticipated reach of around 500 million players, many other titles are expected to be converted and released thereafter. So find a comfortable chair, gear up your favorite browser and expect to get a whole lot less work done on the average day.
This could be a bomb on the social gaming world. If these games are good, they could gather millions of players.
It certainly could, couldn’t it? This could be the thing that complete transforms the landscape and changes the question from, “Do you game?” to “What games do you play?”
I like the idea of this, because it brings in other games. I laughed at my wife when she started playing the stupid Facebook games like FarmTown and FarmVille. Facebook is the current future of gameplay.
