Facebook Games 'Farmville' makes it's way to MSN Games.

Popular social gaming company Zynga has now moved their game to other platform's as well. Without relying too much on Facebook alone you can now play farmville on MSN. They have also launched their stand alone website for the game located at www.Farmville.com

Unfortunately it looks like you'll need either IE or Firefox to get this working (sorry, no Chrome or Safari). Which is just stupid, given that FarmVille works fine on just about every browser out there when you play it on Facebook. We've asked Zynga why this is ? it almost certainly has something to do with the way MSN Games is set up.

All you need to do to play the game on MSN is to head over to the Farmville page on MSN game zone and start. You do not nee Facebook connect either just start playing and it works fine.

Zynga also runs the No. 2 game on Facebook, "Café World." In total, the company has more than 230 million monthly users on Facebook, according to Inside Network. MSN Games users will play "FarmVille" through Facebook Connect, a service that links Web sites.

In 2007, Microsoft paid $240 million for a stake in Facebook, which at the time valued the Palo Alto, California- based company at $15 billion.

Microsoft dropped 79 cents to $27.84 at 4 p.m. New York time in Nasdaq Stock Market trading. The shares climbed 57 percent last year.
