Casual games developer and publisher Legacy Interactive announced Game Share & Compare, a new game discovery application on Facebook. Game Share & Compare is an online database with robust social networking features that allows users to find, review, and share their favorite PC/Mac downloadable, online, console, and iPhone videogames.

Using Facebook, you can browse the more than 1000 games that are already in the database, or add your favorites to the list! Post your status, send links to your friends, review games, or find a new one to play!

Game information posted by users on Game Share & Compare is automatically displayed on the Legacy Games web portal, and vice versa. Users can link their accounts on Legacy Games and Facebook, then use their Facebook identity to sign into Legacy Games. The Legacy web portal has been updated to include games on all platforms, and has among the most robust social networking features of all the popular downloadable game portals.

“Legacy set out to create a unique game discovery app on Facebook, based on our experience with and robust backend of the Legacy Games web portal,” stated Ariella Lehrer, CEO of Legacy Interactive. “Game Share & Compare is a great place for casual gamers to learn about new games and share them with friends, using Facebook’s built-in viral marketing capability. We also think it’s a terrific promotional tool, and helps us spread the word about new casual games we launch on Legacy Games to the huge Facebook audience.”

I had a chance to check this out at Casual Connect last week and it is a really fantastic idea. You can also subscribe to one of many gaming news feeds while on the app, check out playlists of your friends or people in the community, look at the most popular games, and find new friends! It is pretty easy to navigate, and I think that it has the potential to be a really useful tool to check out what’s happening and navigate the sea of available games out there, once it grows and more and more people start adding games to it, and the more popular ones get on there. I like that it covers all genres and platforms (from consoles to computers to iphones). That gives it even more potential to appeal to a multitude of users and allows more types of gamers to relate to one another.
