Now my playing "Plants vs Zombies" not addicted to it but i love playing the game. so whats yours? Have you played facebook games like Farmville, Yoville, Mafia Wars, etc... feel free to park and share what you love with that particular game. :)

I was addicted with Final Fantasy Tactics when it was released in Playstation before. When I have finished the game, I've started all over and tried different roles for my character since there are plenty to choose from and lots of abilities to learn. I've got addicted to Harvest Moon too and Plants vs. Zombies.

ive never played harvest moon, what do you do on that game. i love plants vs zombies, i like the fact that you have to think of what plants to plant so you could defeat those zombies. i also love the puzzle part of it. :)

@hedgielady, wow sounds like you played alot of games..anyways plants vs zombies, you gotta buy that and download it on your computer to play it but i've seen a game application on facebook that almost like playing plants vs zombies, i think they call it BRAINS something. although, i would suggest playing the real one though., its so much fun.

Where is this Plants vs. Zombies game found? It sounds interesting, especially if it has puzzle parts (I love puzzle games). Brew2x, what do you think of the Final Fantasy series of games in general? I've never played any of them, but looking to give them a try, just because of all the fan art and video clips I've seen. The storylines look interesting, and I'm wondering if it's worth hunting down a copy of the older games to give them a shot. I do get addicted to video games very easily, joimarquez, so long as they're either entirely free (online) or you don't have to buy a subscription to keep playing them. I will spend money to buy a new game, so long as I don't have to keep paying to enjoy it. My most recent game addiction was to Donkey Kong Country Returns. I played every night for a week straight, then took a day off to catch up on some reading, before going back to playing every night.

Yes I admit that I do play some facebook games. I guess you could say that I am addicted to farmville cause that is the one I play the most. I saw a news story about a lady who is now on trial for harming her baby cause the baby was crying and the lady had to stop her farmville game. I'm not that bad.

I also love Farmville! What do you think about Treasure Island and Mafia Wars? It looks to me like Mafia Wars is most popular, based on the number of posts I see about it, with Farmville running just behind it. Personally, I prefer Farmville, mostly because of all the cute animal pictures. Like that duck with the straw in its beak. Or the ugly duckling, with teeth!

I try not to start with the games anywhere, as I need to make money with my online time. I have not even joined Facebook. I do get hooked on games and so I stay far far away as much as possible.

Who doesn't love a lightsaber? I've never played the game myself, mostly because I'm terrible at action games (uncoordinated, two left feet, et cetera). I always love watching others play, though, since I love seeing storylines in games. I've been like that since I was a kid, bugging my brothers to play Raiders of the Lost Ark (on the Atari) so I could see what happened.

i've had that experience with many video games. i still play gears of war 2 regularly but yes i loved it when i first played it online. i never really got to play much of the first gears of war game so gears of war 2 was my first main experience with the franchise. i wonder how good gears of war 3 will be. from what i've heard gears of war 1 and 2 were very similar. i hope gears of war 3 can differentiate from the first 2 enough for it not to feel more like a recycled copy of the previous 2.
