Facebook Adds New Gaming Features

Facebook announced on their blog last night their newest features to improve your FB gaming experience.

Please note that like most Facebook changes, these features will be rolled-out to users slowly. Some of you may have them; others may have to wait a while.

Expanded Screens

Firstly, FB is introducing larger screens on some of your favorite social games. A few of you may have already noticed the expanded screen on games such as CityVille, Zoo World, Monster World and Mystery Manor.

Game Ticker

More notably, the ‘new game ticker’ will appear on the right side of your screen when you’re playing your FB games. This ticker will act as an individual news feed and stream you and your friends’ gaming activities, scores and achievements in all the various games. Clicking on a post will take you straight to the game so you can start playing yourself.

Facebook has also allowed you to control who views these gaming stories by visiting your Settings and adjusting them to suit your preferences. You can also use the ‘X’ to remove the post much like your regular news feed.

Favorites

Lastly, you now have the ability to arrange your apps and games on your homepage’s side panel so that you can keep your favorites at the top. To add a new favorite, click the menu next to the bookmark. You can also edit and delete from the same menu.

There you go, gamers. Leave us a comment below on if you think these new features will help your gaming experience.
