Does anyone around here actually enjoy these? Obviously Tetris is a good one though... because facebook game creators didn't come up with it. Other than that one, the rest are complete wastes of time/pointless. Agreed?

AGREED! I have to block this application so many times. It clutters up the newsfeed, too.

:D Glad I'm not the only on the spectrum that feels it's a waste of time playing those!!!I get sick n tired of people sending me game requests all the time,it really bothers me.I don't play them,and yet I still get these every day.I even managed for my Grandma to acess my account and play them,because she likes too play them and also uses my Uncle Jim's account.But I still get requests from her.I used facebook more as a socializing journal then anything else and to figure out when a friend messages and wants to take me somewhere.I do like to play mindjolt games every once in a while. :)

I've stopped playing Facebook games since they require you to constantly bother everyone about them in order to do well. I did Mafia Wars for a while, but eventually got fed up with falling behind because of my small circle of friends and decided I'd rather stop playing than turn into a complete pain in the *** to everyone about it.

I used to play Facebook games but I quit them for multiple reasons.

1. I got tired of having to play them every day or two. If I didn't in some there would be consequences like things dying.
2. I have no friends that play these games so there were many things I could never have. I'm not going to add random people from the internet either. Except for one person the people on my Facebook are people I know in real life.
3. I won't spend real money on these games so there are many things I can never have.

Now I just try to remember to play Fishville every 2 or 3 days so my 7 deep sea anglers don't die.

Facebook games are boring and tedious.

I'm a big console gamer, so yes, I really dislike those Facebook games, especially when people send me requests for them.

I dislike them too with the exception of Gaia Online's Monster Galaxy, Neopets' Treasure Keepers and Tetris Battle. I hate that you always have to send requests to people. I only go to Facebook to keep on contact with family and hardly any of them play the game on it.

Do people actually still play these? I don't see any of them in my news feed at all. But then, maybe I'm just friends with the right people :P

I don't play Facebook games. A while back my exgf and her mom and aunt made me get farmville so I could send them gifts or something. That didn't last too long. I dislike that you have to deactive https in order to use the games, and that they have full access to all of your facebook information. Not worth it

I hate any kind of social network games and at times MMORPGs as they are both money grabbing, overpaid, soul draining, socially inept immaculates.
If you want a drink, you go to the pub.
If you want to search on the web, you use Google.
If you want to play a game, you play one on a console.

I get requests now and then and just shove them on ignore it's a situation where I feel for the sake of being diplomatic it's the best way for everyone involved I don't like annoying people on the subject that said one friend of mine has asked me time and again and he got the message once I blocked all the game requests. I do enough gaming without need to do it on facebook!

I used to play Farmtown (the "original" farm game) and a few similar games for a while, but quit because it just got too tedious and all the annoying "nag" screens to bug my friends and spam my wall. Nearly everything else is blocked - Farmville, Fishville, Cityville, Mob Wars, Cafe World, etc. I still play Wheel of Fortune, but even that is not perfect - I once actually had to disable all posting on my wall for a while because other players of the game would clutter it up with notifications. On the other hand,spamming your friends is not required to play and do well.
