Friskymongoose指导不同玩家选择合适的社交游戏

发布时间:2011-02-23 13:31:00 Tags:,,,

Facebook无处不在,它征服了所有的使用者。游戏邦觉得,当读者看到这篇文章时,如果条件允许,肯定会在另一个浏览器标签或窗口中打开Facebook网站。这里有着数千个游戏,而且数量还在不断增加,吸引着日常生活中各个领域的人。那么,要如何知晓哪款游戏最适合自己呢?你属于哪种社交游戏用户,哪款游戏最适合你打发时间呢?别担心,游戏邦编译了Friskymongoose的指导意见,帮助你挑选合适的游戏。

强势竞争者

让我们勇敢面对竞争吧,和视频游戏一样,你可以在高分榜上遥遥领先。排行榜首位永远是这些人的乐土,这也是他们为何觉得Facebook如此棒的原因。玩游戏的同时与所有朋友的战绩比拼,高居榜首的人看着长长的榜单是如此的耀眼,而且这些是体现玩家技术高超的有力证据。记住,在这些游戏中,高分就代表着高能。

推荐游戏:《宝石迷阵》

Bejeweled Blitz

PopCap出品的这款最简单却最易让人着迷的游戏设计时长仅为60秒,正前方中心处显示的排行榜也许将成为你一生的亮点。别被游戏所设计的1分钟时限所欺骗,通过对这些宝石的组合你很容易沉浸其中,不知不觉地延长了游戏时间,除非你愿意舍大取小。最棒的是,每局结束后马上就可以看到排行榜,知道下一个目标分数是多少。如果你不幸发现朋友获得了难以置信的高分(也许完全是靠运气,并非和你一样有高超的技术),大可不必担心,让他们享受短暂的快乐。得分每周都会重置,因此你每年都有52次机会来争夺头名。而且,游戏的配音很像轻柔版的《真人快打》配乐,听起来酷极了。

其他备选游戏:《次元方块》;《祖玛:闪电战》

装饰能手

如果你说起蛋壳白色时,指的既不是珍珠也不是奶油的颜色,你要的就是蛋壳般的白色,那么你就可以考虑下装饰类的游戏了。无论是农场和餐馆,还是商务花园,都可以看到你独特的审美观在其中大放异彩,Facebook的好友便是那些仰慕你的看客。外景布置与屋内的家具极为相配,而且其精巧的布置尤合风水学。如果你有个Facebook相册让人们看看自己设计的这些虚拟建筑,那就更棒了!

推荐游戏:《餐厅城市》

Facebook中有许多主题为建设、装饰和升级某些虚拟不动产的应用和游戏。虽然《餐厅城市》这个游戏名似乎并没有清楚表达出它的主题,但在游戏中玩家可负责管理某家熙熙攘攘的饮食店,收集食材、升级厨房并吸引大群饥肠辘辘的顾客来提升盈利。游戏最独特的地方在于,睿智的玩家可以用非同寻常的方式来装饰自己的店铺。游戏开始时,玩家只有两面墙、一块空地和各种各样的备用品。游戏邦了解到,玩家可定期为自己的店铺添置新的装饰、家具、各式烹饪器材和餐厅主题。高端玩家甚至可以通过建造新的墙壁或隔墙来改造餐厅,而且玩家还可以在游戏中光顾他人的餐厅并为其装饰评分。同创造性的设计相比,游戏机制和升级倒显得更为次要。但如果你是一位装饰能手,那么这款游戏正好适合你。开发者已经修正了游戏中的错误,所以餐厅服务员在洗手间中晕倒之类的事情已很少发生。

其他备选游戏:《FarmVille》、《PetVille》以及许多名称以“ville”结尾的游戏

团队合作者

对这种类型的游戏需要做些许解释:没错,几乎每款在Facebook上发布的游戏都标榜自己富含“社交性”,包括某些以和朋友一起玩为特点的游戏也是如此。但是必须承认,这些游戏的社交功能并不一定旨在吸引新用户参与,许多游戏的设计只要求玩家每天双击下登录的朋友,仅此而已。然而,某些社交游戏玩家希望能清楚地看到自己在游戏社交圈中的情况,他们需要自己的朋友参与其中。无论是通过贸易系统,还是以某种有意义的方式与朋友进行互动,确实有几款游戏适合这类富有合作意识的玩家。

推荐游戏:《Gourmet Ranch》

难道这又是经营农场或餐厅的游戏?你猜对了。这款游戏本身很有趣,而且玩家在游戏中还有机会与他人合作,这才是游戏异乎寻常之处。从表面上看,它似乎与其他社交游戏无异,无非就是访问他人的农场来结交新朋友。但是,游戏中还设有完全开放且毫无限制的粮食和餐具贸易系统,使玩家能够合作烹制出更高级的食物。

最初,树木的等级使玩家对食材的获取有所限制,此举是为了防止低等级玩家种植出高级植物来。而且,每次升级玩家只能够从几十种食材中选择一者来解锁。有什么更好的办法吗?当然有,邀请好友并和他们合作来解锁不同分支的树木。比如,你可以负责解锁谷物X,同时你的朋友负责水果Y,通过贸易系统你们两个就都可以烹制出菜肴Z了。享受烹饪的乐趣吧!(本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译,转载请注明来源:游戏邦)

What Kind of Facebook Gamer Are You?

Facebook! It is everywhere and everything, and it consumes us all. I would bet ten dollars that, as you read this, you’ve got Facebook open right now in another tab or window. It is also home to several thousand games, with more arriving every day, appealing to audiences from every walk of life. So, how is one to decide which game best suits one’s needs? Where do you fall on the social spectrum, and which title is the correct use of every second of your spare time?Don’t worry, friends. Frisky Mongoose is here with another handy guide to your gaming needs.

The Contender

Let’s face it; when it comes to video games, other people are good for only one thing: appearing below you on the high-score list. The top of the leaderboard is your exclusive domain, and that’s just why Facebook is so great — being connected with all of your friends will make that leaderboard so much longer and more impressive, and provides you with solid proof of how awesome you are. Remember — having a better score makes you a better person.

Recommended Title: Bejeweled Blitz

Sixty seconds of one of the simplest and most addictive game mechanics ever created, married to PopCap’s mastery of presentation, garnished with a front-and-center leaderboard which will become the focus of your life. Don’t be fooled by the one-minute game time here; unless you are the sort of person who is able to eat a single potato chip and walk away from the bowl, you can expect to easily spend your recommended daily hour of gaming in a series of jewel combos. Best of all, at the end of each match, you’re right back to the leaderboard, with your next target in sight. And, if one of your friends gets an impossibly high score (due entirely to luck, unlike your incredible skills), let them enjoy their temporary glory. The scores reset every week, giving you 52 chances a year to be #1. Also, the announcer sounds like a slightly less sadistic version of the Mortal Kombat announcer, which is cool.

Other good entries: Mahjongg Dimensions, Zuma Blitz

The Decorator

When you say Eggshell White, you do not mean Pearl, you do not mean Cream, you mean Eggshell, dammit! Whether it’s a farm, a restaurant, or an office park, your unique aesthetic shines through in the worlds you inhabit, and your Facebook friends are your adoring audience of visitors. Your avatar’s clothing is a perfect match for the furniture, which is lovingly arranged for maximum Feng Shui. Bonus points if you have a Facebook photo album with shots of your virtual establishment!

Recommended Title: Restaurant City

There are plenty of Facebook apps and games whose main (or only) feature is the construction, decoration, and social promotion of some virtual real estate. If it weren’t obvious from the title, Restaurant City puts you in charge of a bustling eatery, and its gameplay surrounds your efforts to amass ingredients, level up your cuisines, and expand operations by bringing in a horde of hungry customers. Where it shines, though, is in the possibilities it provides for the crafty gamer to decorate in unique and wonderful ways through an incredible volume of options. The game starts you off with two walls, an empty space, and a ridiculously varied in-game store, with new decorations, furniture, appliances, and themes being added on a regular basis. High-end players can even restructure their floor plans by building new walls and partitions, and the game includes a function to visit and rate other restaurants based on their elegant designs. The game mechanics and progression are definitely secondary to the creative expressions here, but if you’re a Decorator, this is the city for you. They’ve also fixed it so your waiters are less likely to pass out in the bathroom.

The Teammate

This category bears a little explanation: Yes, nearly every game on Facebook justifies itself as “social” by including some feature that involves your friends list. Admit it, though — most of these features don’t go beyond the game’s own need to spread itself to new users. They usually offer you a mechanic of “get two extra clicks per day for each friend who signs up,” and that’s it. Some of us social gamers, however, would like to actually see our social circle making a noticeable difference in gameplay; we want the actions of our friends to make a difference. Whether it’s through a decent trading system, or the ability to interact with your friends’ avatars in a meaningful way, these are the games for the cooperatively minded players.

Recommended title: Gourmet Ranch

Another farmer/restaurateur game? Yes, it’s true; The game itself is fun, but where it curiously excels is in the chance it provides players to collaborate. On the surface, it would appear to offer the usual “extra clicks for extra friends” benefit of visiting other farms. However, it also provides a completely open and unrestricted trading system for crops and dishes, allowing players to work together to craft the high-end foodstuffs.

Ingredients are initially locked behind progression trees, preventing low-level farmers from growing high-level plants. What’s more, leveling up will only typically allow one to gain access to one new ingredient at a time, from a list of dozens. The solution? Add a friend, and work together to unlock different branches of the tree. You can sink your unlocks into getting Grain X, while your friend accesses Fruit Y — and, by placing a few spare harvests in your trade area, both of you can now whip up Dish Z. Ah, the joy of cooking! (Source: friskymongoose.com)
