Online Games

Some Facebook users may already play simulation games online. These simple games let you pass a few minutes and also lets you play several times a day. But you don't have to limit yourself to Facebook if you want to spend more of your leisure time. There are some games that have been available for years, and there are new ones being released almost everyday. Some online games require a monthly fee, some games can be played for free but in a limited form and some are totally free.

These games are referred to as apps, or applications. These games are small applications that run on Facebook's servers, they cannot be downloaded and played on your home computer. FarmVille is one such game, this is the game for you if you have always fancied being a farmer. But there are many other types of games available, battle games, city building, business simulations... whatever you can think of, there's a good chance something has been created.

All the games played through Face book are free, but you can use real money to buy such things as game money, challenges, enhancements etc. Using some real money can allow you to advance to a level not obtainable for a free player, or it can advance you at a faster rate than a free player. But a lot of players like to play strictly for free, simply for the challenge of trying to advance further than those players who have used money to get ahead. But how you play is entirely up to you.

One thing you should be aware of with these Facebook games is that being on a social bookmark site, the games constantly encourage you to play with friends. This can range from sending free gifts to friends to use in the game to actually getting friends to start playing the game. Some people find this annoying while some love it. If that is what you are interested in, then playing these apps is a great way to meet new people and make new friends.

There are other games online that are not associated with any social media sites. These games are often more intense, has more detail, is more involved and designed to give you hours of game play instead of minutes. However, for those wanting to meet new people who share the same interest in the game, developers often supply forums where people can go and talk to other people, ask questions etc. Another great way of meeting new people.

Some of the simulation games online can go on and on forever if that's what you want. It is up to you to decide at what point do you finish, you decide when enough is enough.
