AquaLife 3D swims to the top of this week's emerging Facebook games

Gladiator Software’s AquaLife 3D took the No. 1 spot on our list of emerging Facebook games this week, gaining 20,000 MAU for a 50 percent increase.

Product Madness had three titles among the top five games on this week’s list. Blackjack Madness took the No. 2 spot with its 20,000 MAU gain for a boost of 67 percent, while Old MacDonald Slot Machine is the latest game to benefit from the slot game craze on Facebook, racking up 20,000 MAU for a 200 percent gain. Roulette Madness took the No. 5 spot with its 20,000 MAU increase, which while good for a 29 percent gain, the rise is still a far cry from the game’s March 2010 peak of 1 million MAU.

Three other games on the list showed gains greater than 50 percent. EA PopCap’s Bejeweled 2 brought in 10,000 MAU for a 100 percent gain. Little Worlds Studio’s new puzzle game Color Cross Online grabbed 10,000 MAU for a 50 percent increase. Finally, Games.com’s Games.com Poker had a winning hand this week, taking in 10,000 MAU for a 100 percent jump.
