How do you find Facebook Games in the Facebook Android App? - Sickness22 - 03-13-2014 11:28 PM
I've a new 4G phone and I've downloaded the Facebook App. I want to play my games, but I cannot find out where to go in the Facebook App. I can find My Wall, My Photos, My Info, My Friends, where are the games? I know its possible because I've seen postings about the Facebook Games and how they play on the 4G or 3G phone, and a friend at work has been into his game on his 4G phone. How do we do it?

Here is the skinny. You can access the games through your connection to Facebook. BUT... they do not show up in the regular list, you have to go into your Most Recent after doing some gaming activity on the PC. Search for a posting for any of the games you played. Press the game icon on the left and it will load the game. Once its loaded you can go into menu and save as a Bookmark. Here is the catch. Most of the games you play on a PC/Laptop are very heavy into system resources usage. The game may load or take forever to load, and if it does it will play very slowly. Basically, your trying to play via the Internet Connection via Facebook and the game was not meant to be played that way via a smartphone.
You will need a smartphone App. You can go to The Market where you can buy/download Apps. Search the games and find one that you like to play. Currently, Zynga has only 4 games for Android smartphones. One well know one is Mafia Wars and its still buggy and having issues. The others look rather lame. For iPhone Zunga offers Cityville and Farmville, but they are only for use on the iPhone. So basically, unless and until the developers like Zynga start making the APPs available you are stuck.
