Quirky App Of The Day: FB Game Tips
by Kathryn Zane
May 12, 2011
Here at AppAdvice, I have the distinct pleasure of fiddling around with apps. It's a joy, really. Then, I get to put out my personal opinion about the app. Sometimes, it influences how people think about the app. Most times, it's just a reflection of myself. So, when I say that I've reviewed an app dedicated to unlocking the secrets of Facebook games, and that I've played many of the games that they're talking about, it definitely says more about me than it does about the app. You know, something along the lines of how much free time I have.
As far as Zynga games are concerned, I didn't feel like I got all that great of a tutorial before being thrust into the game. When I looked things up in the FAQs, I sometimes didn't feel like that satisfied my question either. Usually the FAQs are more detailed than basic gameplay. So, having a reference app seems pretty appealing. Or is it. . .
I'm joking. FB Game Tips app actually does a great job explaining basic game play for people who are new to the game. They offer helpful hints that players might otherwise take a while to figure out on their own. Each game is divided into topics. The topics are thorough, easy to read and understand. For midnight players who are on their third Redbull and yelling "Head shot!" every time a Mafia Wars battle goes our way, simple words work wonders.
FB Game Tips walks you through all the basics of the game and, as mentioned above, give helpful hints to players. I've played about five or six of these games, and I'm fairly confident in the advice that they give. It definitely checks out. So, if you're one who likes to sit down to a good game or two while cruising on Facebook, this might actually come in handy for you.
