Notes on August 3, 2008 Rankings:

  • Scrabulous, previously the 5th biggest game on Facebook, has been taken offline by its developers, the Agarwalla Brothers, after receiving a cease and desist from Hasbro. The Agarwalla Brothers have another title, Wordscraper, that has since been performing quite well.
  • The removal of Scrabulous has also thrust EA’s official version of Scrabble into the ISG Top 25. Scrabble debuts this month at #21, with virtually all of its traffic coming since the Scrabulous disappearance.
  • MyYearbook’s Owned, originally a clone of Serious Business’s Friends For Sale, continues to hold the top spot this month with nearly 700,000 daily active users.
  • With 5 games in the list, Zynga takes the prize again the month for most games in the top 25.
  • Playfish continues its dominance of the top 10, with Who Has the Biggest Brain coming it at #6, Bowling Buddies at #7, and Word Challenge at #8.
  • SGN’s Nicknames is this month’s highest breakout performer, shooting all the way to #15.
  • Bubble Town, YoVille, and Mob Wars were the biggest percentage gainers this month. YoVille was rewarded for its success with an acquision by Zynga two weeks ago.
