My own experience with GAMEEEEE-

When I was young, I liked to play PC games, especially Tycoon games. These Tycoon games are very interesting because all wanted game players to deeply think and create strategies to develop and expand the game business. The drawback of those PC games is that you cannot interact with other people, and your competitors are within the offline games.



 




With the development of technology- the Internet, I started  playing game online. 5 years ago, my first online game was Audition-Vn. I played this game a lot, and i felt like a game addict. I liked it due to its content, 3D graphics, music and the interaction with other online game players in its virtual world.

5 months later, I stopped playing Audition because I didnt have time and I was busy with my studies in University.

In January, 2011 I played the second online game, Dynasty Warriors Online- I knew it because I used to play it on PS2. Well, the game is so interesting lol... heiz.... but then i left it because I realized that the virtual world is so complicated and i saw too many dramas in game. It is not the game for me to entertain anymore.

Why online games are so attractive !!!==> all I can say are as follows:

- Create your game character as you want
- Dress-up in game
- Interaction with online players
- An interesting content which people want to follow- a goal needs to be achieved (events in games with bonus)
- Create a Clan - the purpose of a Clan is that Clan members can play and help each other- create a strongest clan in the virtual world
- Players can exchange items and make real money
- Online dating- ??? (most games have this trouble- that s why i said it s so complicated)

In relation to Facebook games, my first FB game is Barny Buddy. this is a funny game- the most interesting aspect of this game is that players can steal fruits from each other :D. However,  I didnt play that one anymore because it has nothing new to attract me to continue to play anymore.
 Then, I played CityVille and now I am playing the Sim.

Why Facebook games are so popular now?
- You can play games with your friends on Facebook
-  Game graphics is very sophisticated
- Hemisphere in games is attractive
-  Creative game stories 
- The effect of psychology: people feel like they can make a lot of money on Facebook games- can afford to purchase anything for their own virtual world ==> increase game players' fun and happiness.
- Make more friends
- Convenience- no need to install like other kinds of online games- You can play games anywhere and anytime - all you need is access of the Internet


Implications for game developers:

- Create a game community -> build a loyal community-> enhance a commitment
- Boost advertising through Facebook games
- Maintain the game hemisphere -> create  new game features
- Increase revenue = offering game currency exchange by using real money and  offering limited items in special events
