If the “Town Centre” was the place where our ancestors used to gather, nowadays it’s Facebook. These days, when you say Facebook, everyone else will say, “Yes, see you there” or maybe “Add me up”. Either way, Facebook has rapidly become quite a phenomenon. There’s a monumental number of people who just sit around all day, tinkering with this fascinating social networking site. They play farming games, war games, economic games – and now, now they’re going to play poker.
PlayFish Does it Again

Facebook is one of the biggest companies that make flash games for Facebook. Its state of the art games have arguably the best graphics compared to all other games in the said social networking site, and they usually have a lot more features as well as regular updates. It’s really no wonder that it has millions of users, a large portion of which even spend real money on the seemingly simple but secretly addictive flash games. In fact, PlayFish got so big that it was just recently bought by EA Games for a whopping $400 million – that’s pretty impressive for a company that makes Flash Games. However, PlayFish is not without a rival. Zynga, another company that EA was considering for purchase, is PlayFish’s top competition when it comes to making games for Facebook. Zynga was first to create a farming game, and up until now, Zynga’s Farmville is more popular than PlayFish’s Country Story. Zynga was also first to create a poker game for Facebook, namely Texas Hold’em Poker. This game is highly popular, having amassed millions of users worldwide. Not one to be left in the dust, PlayFish answered with its own new poker game, Poker Rivals.
Playing Poker Rivals

As far as poker games go, Poker Rivals is already pretty impressive. The version of poker being played is, of course, the immensely popular Texas Hold’em. New players won’t have to worry, as the tutorial explains everything a beginner really needs to know.

However, Zynga’s Texas Hold’em has an edge because it had a head start in gathering a following. But Poker Rivals has a definite edge when it comes to style and graphics. Following PlayFish’s tradition of allowing its users to create very nice avatars, Poker Rivals too allows the players to create their own, along with some spiffy customizations like shirts, hats, hair, skin, and setting. You can even make your character wear a Chicken Costume if you so desire. Furthermore, the characters are animated. You can make your character look bored, you can make it look anxious, and you can make it bang the table. What’s more, you can buy drinks for other people’s characters (and see them drink, for that matter). And, with the quintessential chat box, it’s quite easy to make new friends. The graphics are simply gorgeous, especially the game’s rendition of the felt. All in all, Poker Rivals is a pretty entertaining game that promises hours of poker fun.
