How to stop NEW facebook game notifications (dec 2010)?

[WMassGirl]

As of a few days ago we now get game requests up in the notification area as well as the game area on the side and I want to know how to stop getting them at the top. If I click on it and choose "all notifications" there is no way to shut it off in there. I still want to get the game requests just not in that area. I'm missing a lot of people responding to posts because I get 300+ requests a day!

I don't know, but I have the same problem. I don't mind 'X has posted to your wall, but THIS is annoying. I play at least three games (FrontierVille, FarmVille and Mafia Wars, among others) and I don't need 50 - 60 notifications on my notifications when I next log in. I'm 'live' on the website now and have had two in the past five minutes.

This is what I am posting everywhere to try to get an answer myself

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW to turn off GAME NOTIFICATIONS in NOTIFICATIONS. I do not mind 'X has posted on your wall' but now I am getting 'X has sent you a Y in Z' or 'X has sent you a request in Y' and IT IS AGGRAVATING. How do I turn this off?

Unfortunately, they are currently testing this - supposedly short-term. I have been trying to find a way to contact them to tell them it is really annoying and I may stop playing all my games. But they have almost no way to contact them either.

It is something they are testing. Make sure you complain to FB about it. Here is the complaint link:

it's definately annoying. I have tried going to the privacy settings and unchecked all the game applications boxes under the notifications section but that still didn't help. i really wish they would hurry up and fix this because it's getting extremely annoying.
