Farmville, Fishville - The same company that made these also made YoVille and a few other simulation-type games. The main goal of them is to build your farm, or town, or fish tank, etc. into the best one it can be! Send gifts to your friends for theirs, and have them send you things as well. All of the Villes are some of the most popular Apps on Facebook right now. That tends to make them better than the others, since more people use them and that means you get more friends!
Mousehunt - By far my favorite app on Facebook. The premise is that you're a mouse hunter and you need to catch mice to get better at it. The artwork is pretty; as you catch mice you get points and gold to level up your traps and your bait (cheese, of course). The mice also drop items you can use sometimes, like Map Pieces so you can go to different areas in the game.
My City - A city simulation game, the object is to get as many citizens as you can. The job types of people you put in your city give you bonuses to things like safety and culture, but if one of your friends gives you a serial killer, you get negatives!
Northwest Trail - Hmmm that name sounds familiar doesn't it? What person in their mid to late 20s doesn't remember a game called Oregon Trail? This is the Facebook version of it. When it first came out, it was still called by that name, but somewhere along the line legality got in the way. And your people can still die of dysentery, to my disgust.
Dungeons & Dragons: Tiny Adventures - D&D lite, you choose a character and level up by going on adventures. Your friends can give you buffs and heal you along their way, so like with all other Facebook Applications, you get more stuff the more people you invite.
Movies - You can rate movies, add movies to an "I want to see it" list, and see how your friends rated movies too. It'll also show you if your friends like the same movies you do.
Roller Coaster Kingdom - another simulation game; this time it's a lite version of Roller Coaster Tycoon. You build an amusement park, send friends gifts and get gifts, too.
Compare People - In this Facebook Application, you decide which of your friends is funnier, prettier.. It's like a yearbook that you vote on.
Causes - Feeling philanthropic? This application lets you choose charities you're a fan of (I chose Child's Play) and tell your friends about them. It tracks your total financial philanthropic impact, too. Does anyone actually give money? Not that I know of, but it's a nice idea.

My farmville app on fb has been out of sync going on two weeks. That's sad. I brought that 24x24 and that was it for me.
Get it together Guys
