I prefer not to call Farmville and its clones 'games'. They're just a trend taking advantage of the increase in social networking. Most of them don't last a year, because it doesn't take long for them to get old, since all you do is collect items you'll never need and watch numbers go higher. I certainly hope console and PC developers won't stoop to those kind of products in order to attract customers. @alert0: Couldn't have put it better myself :D
