6 Annoying Facebook Games We Wish Would Disappear

by Sam Tuchin

1. FarmVille

This really does deserve to be here at number one. FarmVille is a horrendous creation. Who decided that a simulated farming arcade game would be exciting? Oh, that's right, Zynga did. Just like with Mafia City and Words with Friends. Zynga is to blame for all of our social media game plights. If it wasn't for them, we wouldn't have half the obnoxious games that we do. People find themselves in one of two positions - being absolutely obsessed with the games on Facebook, and unable to stop posting about them (one more post from my aunt about FarmVille, and I swear...), or being so morally opposed to the idea of playing them for the sole reason that they are ridiculous. FarmVille is too popular for its own good. There will soon be (if there isn't already) a support group for FarmVille addicts. Like an AA or NA group, but for FarmVille. And that idea scares me a bit. So there are six Facebook games that we could all do without. Were there any that I missed? What Facebook games (or apps) do you wish were gone? Let us know in the comments below!
