Remember those old school Facebook games that annoyed us with invites (hello, Farmville)? Facebook now looks to compete with PC game apps with its latest project called Gameroom.

2. Synergy 88 launches Barangay Basketball

We got the chance to drop by at ESGS this weekend and we found Barangay Basketball, a mobile game created by Synergy88 Digital. The game follows the life of Wax and his journey in becoming a basketball superstar just like his father, who was a former Filipino basketball legend. The game’s backdrop is Tondo. The game is pretty sleek and the production value is excellent. The best way to experience is to actually play it. Go and download it at Google Play now.
