Social Gaming


Once upon a time gaming was just you playing alone with your Atari or getting few friends at your place and playing 2 player games and battling against each other, laughing and shouting and giving advices on what to do and what not to do. Zoom to 2009 the gaming has changed so much that now everyone from 10 year old kid with internet access and grandparents who know PC enough are addicted to gaming.
Now it is called Social Gaming..but you do not meet your friends over the weekend but play with them the whole week and never think of calling them....send them gifts, ask for coins, help them in clearing their farm....

The thing which started the whole Social Gaming was Mafia Wars on Facebook click here for the link which you have to add your friends into your Mafia and kick other people butt...


 
create properties, buy weapons/armory/bonuses and create your own inventory and vault it...

But first came in Zyngas Texas Holdem Poker which is clocking over more than Million Users playing regularly.

You will now say what has this Poker done?
First of all, you can bet in as much as you want and don’t be afraid of losing your real money and still get a high by winning virtual money.
Second , be on top of the list on who is the boss in your friends list most money
Now they have taken the Poker into another level , adding a social element where you increase your level for every hand you play. Post your best on the facebook homepage….

Then they came out with a masterstroke, doing not any gaming could do before getting a big female net audience into gaming by creating Farmville…Farmville, yes Farmville where you have to create your own farm and make it big by plowing and seeding and harvesting by just clicking the mouse buttons.


Sow Sunflower, Strawberries, Tomatoes etc etc also create your own farm by buying Cows, ducks, sheep’s etc. Also purchase trees like cherry, bananas, avocados. Buy your own cottages, tree houses I mean hell they keep on adding new things every week.

So this is all about Social Gaming and now every company wants to do make sure people keep on coming by giving them new things all the time.
