Facebook has unveiled its list of top games for 2011, based upon users' ratings rather than raw monthly active players. Using this metric, Playdom's Gardens of Time was the most popular game of the year followed by The Sims Social and CityVille at number three.
"The average game player on Facebook played more than three different gaming titles each month and played more than half the days they visited the site," said Facebook in a statement. "The list shows that innovation in the space is reaching Silicon Valley and beyond. Apps were built by developers around the world from Seattle, Santa Monica, Canada, Germany, Japan, Serbia, and Prague."
