As I am working on my rough draft, I never realized how far you could dig inside a simple game on Facebook. What started out as a fun way to waste time has turned into a very interesting evaluative paper topic. I have been given the opportunity to not only play a game as part of my homework, but to also discover the good and bad of Cafe World. Before this experience, I didn't quite realize how many real life principles could be taught by playing a game. (I don't want to reveal my whole paper BUT...) I understand that many people find these types of games overrated and annoying. My personal opinion is that they can also be a way to relax and fall back into the childhood memories of all the fun games we played. Do I think that there needs to be improvement of Facebook games and the notifications? Yes! Do I think that they are still worth a try? Yes! There are so many games on Facebook you are sure to find one that entices you in some way. I am not telling anyone to become the top chef or richest farmer; I am simply saying that Facebook games have proved interesting in more ways than one. Check them out!
To be honest I am not a big fan of games on Facebook because I feel that Facebook consumes my time enough! haha I especially get so annoyed with Farmville because it fills up my feed so fast. I never heard of this game before. I might actually check it out sounds interesting. Good luck with the paper!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I understand exactly how you feel about the consumption of time. I think Farmville fills up our feeds simply because there are so many people on our friends list that play the game. When you are playing Cafe WOrld and similar games you are given the option to post things to your wall or not. Many people do post things because I will help others playing the game. I personally do not usually post things to my wall, simply because it does fill up the wall.
