Social gaming has been one of the biggest trends in 2011 and it is expected to continue growing in 2012. Facebook, with over 800 million users, is the biggest social gaming platform.

In a recent 2011 National Gamers Survey conducted by Newzoo, indicates that out of 215 million gamers in the U.S., 16 percent (14 million) of them played social games on Facebook and other social networking sites. Majority of the 14 million users have definitely played games on Facebook.

Facebook has compiled a list of the most popular games played on its network in 2011. It was expected that CityVille by Zynga would top the list, but it is quite surprising to see that CityVille has been ranked third, while Gardens of Time by Playdom topped the list, followed by The Sims Social by EA in the second position.
