Across the board, top Facebook games take a tumble

Social gaming had been one of the biggest growth areas in video games, but the category has recently fallen on hard times. Numerous top Facebook games have taken a steep dive in popularity over the last few months.

It's not just the everyday ebb and flow of users between games, either. According to numbers from Inside Social Games, 23 of the 25 biggest Facebook games lost monthly average users in June, some by as much as 20%.

For many games, it's the second month of decline, and although many are gaining ground in daily average users -- indicating the players that remain are increasingly engaged with their games -- the news is sure to have furrowed brows in social game development boardrooms around the world.
