今天，在谷歌公司发布“Chrome Web Store（Chrome网络商店）”的同时，社交游戏公司Zynga也发布了热门游戏FarmVille的Chrome Web应用。

本次发布的FarmVille应用安装在Chrome网络浏览器的步骤十分简单：用户输入自己的谷歌账户，进入Chrome Web Store后搜索FarmVille，点击页面中的“安装”按键。完成以上操作后，玩家每次在Chrome浏览器打开新标签就会在新“应用”中出现FarmVille的图标（如下图）。

点击图标，稍等片刻后玩家就可直接进入FarmVille.com。没错，该款FarmVille“应用”的功能就是在浏览器新标签中加入一个书签。另外，游戏邦注意到由于WideScreen Farming的发布，在FarmVille.com进行游戏别有一番感觉。

众所周知，Facebook社交网站上的大多数游戏应用的屏幕都较小，而通过FarmVille.com推出的WideScreen Farming，玩家可以在宽敞了近1/3的游戏屏幕上享受FarmVille，与自己的农场亲密接触。（本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译，转载请注明来源：游戏邦）

Google’s Chrome Web Store launched today, and with it came the release of a FarmVille by Zynga Chrome web app. In an effort to keep you as up-to-date as possible concerning all things FarmVille, we took this app for a spin.

Technically, the app is incredibly easy to install on your Chrome web browser. Just sign into your Google Account, head over to the Chrome Web Store, and search for FarmVille. This shows you a page where you click on “Install” to, you guessed it, install the “app.” From there, every time you open a new tab in Chrome, you’ll see the FarmVille logo presented under the new “Apps” heading, like in the screenshot at the right of this post.

Clicking on this button – wait for it – takes you to FarmVille.com. No, that’s not a joke. All this “application” does is add a much larger bookmark to your new tab (where you normally see links to your most visited websites). However, since it had been awhile since we’ve actually played the game on FarmVille.com, we did notice one nice thing, that being the launch of Widescreen Farming.

Where the true Facebook experience is limited to the small gameplay window shared by the vast majority of Facebook apps, this Widescreen Farming on FarmVille.com allows you to view a screen that is about 1/3 wider than normal. This means that those farmers that like to view their farms up-close-and-personal, rather than being zoomed out, will have an easier time scrolling around their land, as you can simply see more land at once.

Ultimately, is the App worth installing? We’d have to say no. Unless you have too many bookmarks in your Chrome Bookmarks Bar (the one underneath the address bar), and you want to free some space, you’re better off just skipping this one. （Source：Games.com）
