3D Slots, Dirty Dancing Top This Week’s List of Emerging Facebook Games
3D Slots slips past Dirty Dancing to claim the top spot on our list of emerging Facebook games. Even so, we expect the cult-movie-turned-social game to class out of this ranking as of next week if it continues its current growth rate.
We may also be bidding goodbye to City Wars and War Commander next week as both games appear to be on track toward breaking the 1 million monthly active user mark. Keep in mind that we use this figure as our cut-off point between “emerging” and “established” Facebook games because most titles that break this total continue on a growth track for a sustained period of time. However, as ESPN Sports Bar & Grill demonstrates at No.10 this week, a game may well return to this list after leaving it should MAU fluctuate around 1 million.
Quick note on FIFA 12: This app was not functional at time of press, so we could not verify its classification as a social game. It may be a community fan app for EA’s newly-released installment in its popular soccer video game series.
