Social games

Playing Games, it is a human nature. Both children and adults love games. Sports, such as bowling, golf; educational classes, such as playing chess. There are countless types of games. No doubt, the game has become a part of our life.

Now more and more people are willing to spend time in electronic products. Most of them use a computer for playing games. Once upon a time, childhood should play football, basketball and sports outside. But now, with the rapid development of science and technology, entertainment project is rich and varied, our life style has also been changed. People do not have to go out, do not have to meet friends, even do not take part in the actual social activities. The primary cause of all is the fact that we can easily do social things in front of the computer. If I feel bored, all I need to do is going on the facebook and see if there is any friends online. Anytime, anywhere can be a dialogue or launch a party. All of these can be that simple. 


Speaking of Facebook, now social games on social networking sites become more and more popular. Facebook has a game called FarmVille 2, let users can leave their game results on their pages. Using the mind of rivalry to attract users to constantly refresh high marks. Once someone creates a new score, and instantly shares online, as a cycle. Obviously, social games is a kind of new attempt for business and a method of increasing user dependence on sites. I have to say that Facebook was founded only around ten years and it has redefined the communication channels. Now there are games based on social networking sites.

In 2020, I think that the popularity of social games will be more widespread. Although, this kind of game with entertaining, play ability and picture quality may not be able to compare with big companies’ work as Blizzard Entertainment, I personally believe, social network games cannot be compared. Because this is a brand new category. There is no comparable. Since the starting point for design of social games is to let people compare with each other, these games are amazingly accessible. There is no hardware limits for users, not like the big game. By contrast, taking World Of Warcraft for example, it has an extraordinary request for hardware. So social games are easier to be accepted. Moreover, this kind of game of simple operation, does not have to spend hours or even days to know the whole game. For girls and young children, the attraction is considerable.
