Love or hate them, one thing holds true Facebook games: they're crazy addictive. So addictive, in fact, that age adults are pulling myself away from the social network, all due to multiple virtual strawberry. Fortunately, the new iPad this will let you play some of your favorite Facebook away where the sun shines, instead of your musty, dark, virtual fruit filled. This is called GameBox.
At the moment, only two games made their way into the app GameBox: Digital Chocolate attack army and Zynga in CityVille. More games are on track, promises an application developer. And don't worry, things will look different on the iPad is all about the user interface remains completely the same as it looks on Facebook.
So, how this all works? Voodoo and magic. More precisely, it seems like all of the actual rendering of Flash in the cloud, GameBox relay stuff back and forth — sort of like a much less intense OnLive. With this in mind, we would hope that the developer has received a permission from Zynga and co. before installing this stuff for free — with places shifting technologies like this is something of a legal grey area, it seems like a quick way to get a fancy new cease and desist letters dropped in your mailbox.
GameBox Facebook application currently listed for $ 2.99 in the Apple app Store.
