-FarmVille is a real-time farm simulation game developed by Zynga, available as an application on the social-networking website Facebook and as an App on the Apple iPhone. The game allows members of Facebook to manage a virtual farm by plowing land, planting, growing and harvesting virtual crops, harvesting trees and bushes, and by raising livestock.[2] FarmVille started as a clone of the popular Farm Town, which also featured on Facebook in June 2009,[3][4] but has since grown to be the social network's most popular application, with over 62 million active users and over 24.6 million Facebook application fans as of September 2010.[5] Ten percent of all Facebook users play it.[6][7] Despite this, Farmville is still classed by Zynga as being in a "Beta Testing Stage", with "all of [their] players ... currently considered Testers."

Reminds me of Runescape farming, except there is very little plowing to be done. Just rake a patch of land, use fertilizer, sow the seeds and water. Just lots of monotonous waiting after that. There's even a game character that pops up to tell you to go away while your garden grows. Anyway, Farmville is more involving, cause you have a million little details to take care of, it's not just a simple process. Maybe that's why so many people love the game, it takes their mind off real life.
