Facebook, the world’s largest social networking site, is filled with a large selection of social and casual games, such as Draw Something, Words With Friends and FarmVille. While the topic of Facebook gaming is widely discussed, there isn’t much there in the way of titles that would attract the hardcore gaming crowd. Ubisoft is looking to change that, however, with the release of Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Commander. The game, unlike its console counterpart, is not a first-person shooter but instead a 2D game with an overhead viewpoint that contains both social and more complex aspects. Players are given the option to invite and team up with their Facebook friends to form alliances and complete a variety of missions. The

US shares racked up strong gains Monday with the Nasdaq adding nearly 2.5 percent helped by an Apple surge, but Facebook shares flipped below their IPO price on their first full day of trading.

Facebook shares plunged nearly 11 percent Monday during the stock's first full day of trade as the enthusiasm from a massive public offering for the social network giant turned to skepticism.

(Reuters) - Facebook shares sank 11 percent in the first day of trading without the full support of the company's underwriters, leaving some investors down almost 25 percent from where they were Friday and driving others to switch back to more established stocks. Facebook's debut was beset by problems, so much so that Nasdaq said on Monday it was changing its IPO procedures. That may comfort companies considering a listing, but does it little for Facebook, whose lead underwriter, Morgan Stanley, had to step in and defend the $38 offering price on the open market. ...

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stocks rose more than 1 percent on Monday, with the S&P 500 snapping a six-day losing streak in a rebound from equities' biggest weekly drop in almost six months, but Facebook slumped in its second session after a disappointing debut.

Even as the stock market pounds Facebook's freshly issued shares, analysts and techies are still defending the newest public company. After Friday's debacle, which was in part caused by technical glitches, which Nasdaq says it has now fixed, the Facebook sympathizers told us to wait. Day one wouldn't tell the whole story. But Facebook's second day on the market hasn't eased our fears that we're in a social media bubble. In fact, it only suggests the bubble is coming to its end.

Stocks rose Monday morning as investors latched onto a survey suggesting that economists are more optimistic about housing and unemployment.

Shares of Facebook plunged below its IPO price and previous close, opening down 11 percent to $33.83 on Monday morning. Facebook stock closed at about $38.23 on Friday evening, only slightly above its IPO price of $38 a share set on Thursday night. “Facebook is...

Do you hear that?  That's the sound of the vaunted Facebook stock falling around 5 points or 13 percent in the stock market this morning. That other sound you may hear is investors panicking. Not a good way to start the morning for the sexiest IPO of all time. 

With a weekend to figure things out, we've got a few suspects to blame for the mess that was Facebook's IPO debut on Friday. After a late start due to glitches on NASDAQ and a possible scandal in which Morgan Stanley upheld the price of the stock, Facebook's stock ended the day just where it started. It had a mini-pop, but it didn't soar, as expected. That was not supposed to happen. ...
