Facebook + Gaming = the ultimate yet beautiful time waster

The goon that thought of putting games on Facebook is an evil genius. There I was calmly facebooking, free from the addiction of console based games (i.e the ones we can easily avoid) when I all too casually decide to satisfy my small yet deceptively powerful curiosity to see what happens when I click on the link that says "play new games!"





The result was a beautiful yet unproductive evening. Kind of like sex....
unless of course somebody gets pregnant.

"Ragdoll Laser Dodge" uses a simple concept. Avoid the lasers (of varying speeds) with the option of power ups; score multiplier, slow-motion and shield, which makes your doll invincible for a brief period. The longer your doll stays intact the higher the score! One can afford to loose stray arms and legs, however a headshot is, as always, an instant kill.

I think that the game's moorishness is innate as above all else because it is on Facebook one's high scores are conveniently and instantly written up on a leader-board of one's cyber friends, thus adding the potential element of competition to the already addictive act of online social networking.

Heck, I mean there's nothing sweeter than broadcasting to cyberspace which of your beloved online chums you cained recently, no?

Either that or the music. I'm serious, the theme tune's ace!
