Set up your own nations in this simulation game via Facebook. Nations is a nation simulation game. Create your very own virtual nation according to your wishes. Regular issues are brought to you by your people eager for your leadership. Choose your actions wisely as your decisions will affect your nation for better or worse.

Scramble is the fast fun game of finding words in a jumbled grid. Challenge your friends, play solo in our ladder mode, or play and chat live with fellow word game fans. Join the 2.5 million Facebook users who have already installed this word fan favorite! This is an addictive game too.

Pandora on Facebook will let you enjoy music you already know and help you discover music you’ll love. Find your favorite songs or artists and create personalized stations that play full songs, keep tabs on your friend’s musical interests, and fill out your profile with music samples and favorite artists.
Pandora is powered by the most comprehensive analysis of music ever undertaken, the Music Genome Project: a crazy project started back in early 2000 to capture the complex musical DNA of songs using a large team of highly-trained musicians.
10. Facebook Music Player
Music Player lets your fans listen to your most recent tracks directly from your Page. Add as many tracks as you want, and update Music Player as you create new music.

I’d love to have any of you check out my facebook app that lets you play games. Reviews I’ve been getting from other facebook members are that its better than mindjolt. Application Link: https://apps.facebook.com/timsgames Basically this is an app that lets you play flash based games. I believe my site has some of the best features anywhere, which go far beyond what the other facebook game portal sites do. My site integrates more with facebook by posting your high scores and game plays to your news feed, notifies the old high score owner if you take the all time highs score, shows you what your friends are playing and localizes high scores to just your group of friends, and more. Take a break and check it out today! |
