GodsWar Online is enjoying a second week of strong growth with a lightweight MMO experience that seems to be appealing mainly to young men outside of the US. It’s not the only MMO listed, with MilMo also enjoying another good week, and GodsWar developer Igg is also doubling up on the list with Texas HoldEm Poker – Deluxe ★★★★★★.
寵物戰爭, at number two, is a Chinese combo of the pet raising and fighting genres. That gives all of the top three spots to Chinese developers, since Igg also seems to be based in that country.
Dragons of Atlantis is the online strategy game that Kabam picked up in its acquisition of WonderHill. Despite having three very similar games now, including Kingdoms of Camelot and the newly launched Glory of Rome, Kabam seems to be doing well with Dragons.
Few of the remaining games on the list are new, but there are a few exceptions to watch: Paradise Life, Wildlife Refuge and My Shops are all well-designed games that are enjoying their first real growth on Facebook.
