Everyone will join Facebook, because everyone else is. You will because all your friends are there on the social networking platform and brands will because the competitors are jumping in. However there is another way they are making use of the social network’s gaming to make it big. The latest move comes with major players namely; HP, Best Buy, Rossignol and Intel collaborating to bring Go Big a new gaming app for Facebook.

The game is all about letting you make points while you go along performing snowboarding tricks. So what do you get spending time performing tricks? Lucky users who compete in the game get a chance to win weekly prizes. The game isn’t a mind boggling, nerve wrecking strategy game or something. All that you need to be doing with this is controlling a snowboarder who has to perform tricks at the mercy of the keys you press: A, S, D and the Arrow keys. You are rewarded for each trick you perform and the special bonuses you collect across the four venues you have to show your skills.

There isn’t any limit to the number of times you play these venues and each of your scores are recorded, meaning the higher scores you have the better are your chances to win the prizes, which might just include a vacation for two at the Whistler ski resort. Plus if you get tired of your snowboarder, feel free to customize how he looks and moves across the snow making more points and your chances to be the lucky winner even higher.
The app is bound to bring in a huge following and people might think that the four brands are doing them such a huge favor. While it sure is quite addictive, it also has the much useful links to each of the four sponsors. Do try the game, it surely is worth giving a shot at, at least better than that Farmville.
