每年3月份，美国大学篮球赛季都会以NCAA篮球锦标赛拉下帷幕。68支校园篮球队争相角逐全美最佳篮球队的荣誉称号，该锦标赛实行单一赛制，球队如果输掉一场比赛就会被淘汰出局。比赛气氛狂热，节奏紧凑，因此该锦标赛又被冠以“三月疯狂”的称号。

篮球赛的激情也蔓延到了Facebook游戏领域，最近Games.com也专门举办了一场Facebook游戏锦标赛。

以下是比赛规则：

Games.com首先根据日活跃用户选出排名靠前的16款游戏，接着按照截至3月17日的用户总数进行组合。

下文将罗列第1回合的所有PK组合，Games.com本周末将统计投票数量，票数领先的游戏可以进入下一轮的角逐。读者可以为自己喜爱的游戏投上宝贵的一票。

第1组合堪称大卫VS歌利亚（游戏邦注：他是圣经中被大卫杀死的巨人）。Cie Games旗下的《Car Town》可以对抗Zynga的《CityVille》吗？《Car Town》上个月开始走下坡路，但仍旧拥有自己的铁杆粉丝。《Car Town》能否抗衡游戏巨头《CityVille》？

第2组合是Zynga游戏《FarmVille》（Zynga游戏在本列表中频现身影）与Popcap的《祖玛闪电战》。如果是在去年，《FarmVille》可以毫无悬念地稳居冠军宝座。《祖玛闪电战》是games.com博客评选出的最受用户欢迎的社交游戏。游戏邦认为两款游戏风格迥异，玩家类型也大相径庭。《FarmVille》没有理由会输给《祖玛闪电战》对吧？

第3组游戏风格更是天差地别。《Zynga’s Poker》堪称Facebook游戏的鼻祖，而其竞争对手则是CrowdStar的女性时尚游戏《It Girl》。两款游戏的玩家截然不同，这会是本场比赛的首个混搭组合吗？

接下来的组合是Zynga的《FrontierVille》和LOLApps的《RavenWood Fair》。游戏邦认为这两款游戏风格极相似，这两者的对决也很有看头。《FrontierVille》推出较早，而《RavenWood Fair》则画面唯美。“岁月”能否战胜“美貌”？二者似乎各有千秋。

在第5组中，Popcap的第2款游戏《宝石迷阵》更受用户欢迎，但Wooga的《怪兽世界》资历更深。在NCAA篮球锦标赛中，12号球队实力远超5号球队，悬殊程度堪称美国篮球锦标赛之最。《怪兽世界》能否再创奇迹，震惊世界？

第6组为游戏元老的较量：Zynga的《Cafe World》和Playfish的《宠物社区》。两款游戏的渊源可以追溯到2009年，当时Playfish和Zynga正在角逐Facebook社交游戏的霸主地位。

在第7个组合中，Zynga的《Treasure Isle》力图挫败Playfish的《Restaurant City》。Playfish和Zynga长久以来实力都不相上下，Facebook市场早期每种风格的游戏，二者几乎均有涉猎。两家公司都希望自己能够打败对手，独占鳌头！

锦标赛的男性组合非Zynga《黑帮战争》和Digital Chocolate的《Millionaire City》莫属，这二者各有所长，尽显男儿本色，欲知双方较量结果如何，请大家拭目以待。（本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译，转载请注明来源：游戏邦）

March Madness Facebook Game Showdown: Round 1

Every March, the college basketball season ends with its NCAA Basketball tournament. Sixty-eight college basketball teams qualify for a frenzied rush to be named the

best team in the nation. The tournament is a single elimination tournament, one loss and your team goes home. Due to the crazed nature of the games and frenetic pace the tournament has been given the name “March Madness.”

At the Games.com – The Blog!, we are just as passionate about Facebook games as some people are about basketball. So — we thought — what the heck! Let’s make a tournament of Facebook games.

Here’s how its going to work:

We chose the top 16 games by daily active users and seeded them by their total number of players as of March 17 (St. Patrick’s Day felt like a good day to get the numbers.)

All the first round match-ups have been listed in this post.Vote which game you think should advance. It’s that easy!Vote early and vote often.

We’ll tally all the votes over the weekend and set up out second round match ups based on which games got the most votes. It’s win or go home time for you favorite Facebook games! Let the madness begin!

In our first match up we have a real David vs. Goliath. Can the upstart Car Town of Cie Games hang in there verses the hulking behemoth of a game in Zynga’s CityVille?

Car Town has been on the decline for the last month but has retained its most loyal players. Can it hang with the monster of CityVille?

The number two seed is Zynga’s (You’re going to see Zynga a lot) FarmVille. If this had been last year, FarmVille would have been a clear number one. FarmVille has drawn the Games.com Blog’s favorite game, Popcap’s Zuma Blitz. This is really a match up of two contrasting styles and has different types of players. There is no way FarmVille can lose is there?

Our third match-up brings to wildly different styles to the floor. Zynga’s Poker, the granddaddy of all Facebook games is taking on the cute bastion of feminine fashion, CrowdStar’s It Girl. The audiences for these two games could not be more different. Could this be our first upset match-up?

Zynga’s FrontierVille locks horns with LOLApps’s RavenWood Fair. Two games so similar could really battle to the very end. FrontierVille has the advantage in age but

Ravenwood Fair has the leg up on beauty. Could this be an age before beauty situation? It could be a toss up.

Popcap’s second entry Bejeweled Blitz is the favorite in the dreaded 5 vs. 12 match-up. Wooga’s Monster World has history on it’s side. In the NCAA basketball tournament the 5 seed is upset more by the 12 seed than an other seeding in tournament history. Could this be Monster World’s chance to shock the world?

Two older games go head to head next Zynga’s Cafe World battles Playfish’s Pet Society. Both games harken way back to 2009 when Playfish and Zynga were still vying to supremacy for which company would be the biggest on Facebook. (Wow,things have changed)

Zynga’s Treasure Isle attempts to vanquish Playfish’s Restaurant City in the next match up. Playfish and Zynga have a long history of going head to head and each had a game in nearly every genre in the early days of the Facebook game market. They both be itching to eliminate the other!

The dude match-up of the tournament is Zynga’s Mafia Wars verses Digital Chocolate’s Millionaire City. Both these games have a bit more of an edge and man-centric feel to them. We’ll see if they come out fighting. （Source：Games.com）
