The Sims Social Fansite

There was a lot of talk before the release of The Sims Social on Facebook that EA and Playfish could well change the face of online social gaming by being the first company to rival Zynga in the domination of casual Facebook games. The Sims Social certainly did that by cementing itself from release straight into the second place spot in the global Facebook application charts, knocking off the industry giant FarmVille and challenging Zynga's most popular game CityVille.

In the last two months The Sims Social has been gradually losing its players and Zynga is back on the rise with FarmVille gathering an additional 2 Million Active Monthly Users last month, CityVille standing steady and their new game CastleVille becoming the fastest growing Facebook game in the world with 9 Million Players creating an account in just under one week.

The Sims Social is still waiting to see if the new improvements to the Daily Play Bonuses with Free SimCash update and The Ultimate Gift Giveaway will help bring back some previously retired players and we're sure the Christmas theme will add an incentive for older players to return. We shall see. Let us know what you think about the Playfish vs Zynga battle via our Facebook Page or in the Comments section below.
