Ubisoft starts making apps for Facebook, launches TickTock

On July 18th, 2009 in Uncategorized -

With all of the thousands of useless applications on the social networking website Facebook, it would only be a matter of time that video game developers would jump on the bandwagon and begin developing for the popular platform.

Ubisoft is one of the first to do this, and have already launched an application, TickTock, for the site. The application isn’t exactly a game, but more of a trivia challenge of how well you know your friends. Some type of bomb is created by you and six of your friends have to defuse it in order for you to win by answering trivia questions about your friends. The concept is very refreshing in a sea of Facebook applications (e.g. the very offensive Own Your Friends).

“We’re going to try to make best applications for Facebook, just like we make the best applications for the Xbox 360 and Wii,” said Laurent Detoc, president of Ubisoft North America.
