This week we take a look at the latest escape masterpiece to hit AG, Bird Escape. This game is fairly short but can get frustrating in a hurry. A quick peek at this video walkthrough and you should be past this game in no time.

Raspberry Fields Forever
Raspberries are a very high-maintenance plant to be growing on one’s farm. They need to be checked every two hours if you do not want them to wilt. My friend Kyle almost lost his favored fruit one afternoon, having gone to lunch at our dining hall, with only minutes to spare. We grabbed our to-go trays, and hustled out of the building, sprinting back to our dormitory. But alas, by the time we had made it back to his room, it was too late. His raspberries were gone. Kyle should have brought his laptop along with him. He could have easily accessed his FarmVille account over the green beans and sloppy joes that were being served.
Kyle is among the nearly 60 million participants in the real-time, social networking game, FarmVille. Although there has been noticeable decline in the popularity of the farm simulation, it still reigns as the most popular game on Facebook. Other simulation games have branched from Farmville, such as FrontierVille and PetVille. These games are demanding; pets must be fed, and plants must be tended to. I mean, if Facebook users weren’t already glued to the screen, waiting for newsfeed developments, they sure are now.
Another interactive game that has gained a striking popularity is Mafia Wars. Mafia Wars has its players complete “jobs” to develop different personalities of their character. All of these games are progressed by time, as well as interaction with other players. As one of the major draws to these games is the interaction with other players, Facebook serves an easy and accessible medium on which to play.
The first games to be introduced to the world of Facebook gaming were on a much smaller scale. One of the first larger games to be fashioned for the social networking site was Texas HoldEm Poker. It was put out by Zynga in 2008, and is now the second most popular game on Facebook. Within the past year, the number of Facebook users who play games, in general, as well as the number of different games have significantly increased.
Based on the current success of Facebook games, it is safe to assume that this industry will continue to gain popularity. The aforementioned social interaction incorporated into these games is thought to be a major factor in their prominence. Facebook gaming adds another dimension to not just gaming, but also social networking as a whole. Connecting people around the country and around the world, social networking games as a whole are now, practically, a fixture in entertainment.
The Jersey Shore is now available from coast to coast.
Other aspects of pop culture are even being ever infused into the world of Facebook gaming. We see this in MTV’s latest addition to the Facebook Games family, The Jersey Shore Game. This game is based on the wildly popular MTV show that depicts aspects of “guido” and “guidette” life. The game allows you to fist pump and throw pickles at your friends on Facebook. CLICK HERE to play the Jersey Shore game on Facebook!
So, whether you’re plowing your plot of land, or you’re laying down a full house in a game of Poker, you can always find something to occupy your time with Facebook games. You can find out what games your friends are playing, and interact with them within the game. If you’re anything like my friend Kyle, you might have to start scheduling your day around it.

I only need one bullet!
AddictingGames players like a wide variety of games. They have sophisticated tastes in free online games, enjoying everything from dressing up for dates to cooking for zombies. But there’s one ingredient that seems to make every game a little sweeter: snipers. (Well, Katie Perry would probably improve some of these games, but she won’t return our calls)
That’s right – add a sniper scope and a high-powered rifle, and even the tamest game has potential to satisfy your bloodlust. So, we propose a few mashups. Great games, really great games. But they could be better with a few well-placed headshots. Agreed? Ok, then write and tell us what games could use a few snipers ftw!
Bloxorz
Like a sleeping roommate, you spend your time in this free online puzzle game moving a big lump out of your way. Like a smelly, sleeping roommate, the best solution is to remove him entirely! Tip and roll your drooling, snoring block of flesh to a convenient trap door, and say goodbye. Now, imagine how much quicker this would go if you could, say, open new trap doors? Make that one big lump into many tiny lumps? Just add sniper!
Escape the Ship of Doom
The Ship of Doom marks the second time that you have escaped from Dr. Minstrel, and the third time he’s trapped you again. Do you really want to keep trying to get away from the evil doctor? Great free online escape games, yes, but somehow, there’s no happy ending. If only…if only, instead of finding bits of wire and gum and having to think your way out, what if you found a nice, loaded rifle? Goodbye, evil Dr. Minstrel!
Destroy All Cars
No sound is sweeter than two cars smashing together. First, the screeching of tires that says, “too little, too late.” And then, the symphony of metal smashing, glass shattering creates a lovely symphony. But how can we speed this process up? Why do I have to carefully aim cars in this free online smash-o-rama? I know: I’ll shoot out the tires! Hand me that sniper rifle, the Duct Tape of Online Games!
Parking never looked so good!
Your favorite parking game for the iPhone/iPod Touch is back and it’s better than ever with iPark it 2. We took everything you loved about the first game and tweaked it up a bit to give you a brand new parking adventure. With the upgraded graphics, parking never looked this good.
Play all 40 levels in Vancouver and stay tuned for future updates that will unlock new levels in new cities including San Francisco, Washington DC, New Delhi, Paris, and more.

AG resident blogger Zip takes you on a clowny adventure with some clown games that aren’t clowning around. Or are they. Just clownin around! Plays these games or the clowns will get you. I’m serious..CLOWNS!!
Clown Killer 2
In this free online shooting game, you must eliminate mutant clowns. That’s right, these aren’t ordinary clowns: someone has added rat DNA to the clown recipe. If that wasn’t enough, you smell like cheese! Eliminate clowns with authority, my angry friends.
Popo & Bobo
Wow, just when you thought clowns couldn’t get any uglier. Popo and Bobo are circus clowns, but they are too lazy to put on shirts. They don’t even put clown makeup on their chests! Gross, really. But free online arcade bouncing clown action game? Oh, this is it! Use the seesaw to keep Bobo and Popo airborne, while they gather vital clown supplies, like fried chicken. Bada bing, bada Bobo, baby!
Evil Clown Generator
Are you a clown artist? Spend your days drawing clowns? Or maybe you want to draw clowns, but are afraid. Well, AddictingGames has the solution: a free online clown creator game! There is one drawback: the game can only create evil clowns. So if you need friendly, non-threatening clowns, look elsewhere. This is a Reality game, and all clowns are inherently evil. Try it and see!
Arch Rivals
Even ordinary free online archery games need a few gratuitous clown victims. Take your chances in a duel against an angry clown opponent. But if that isn’t cruel enough, choose the Clown Hunt mode. An endless stream of airborne clowns float overhead, just begging to be punctured with arrows. Ruin their flying cards, or hit them with clowny headshots. Just keep clobbering clowns!
