Playfish's portfolio so far only includes social/casual games, but it describes itself as "working on combining the best elements of casual games, social networks, MMOGs and virtual worlds to create entirely new, more social ways of enjoying great games together." We may start to see more elements from the complicated systems of virtual worlds and MMOGs making their way in, then, with the recent investment of $1 million from Accel Partners reported by Venture Wire. Accel also helped launch the company with $4 million last year. [via DMW]

Honestly, does anybody -really- have time to play these little games, especially adults?
I'm happy they got some financing but I fail to see how their flimsy little games can be more fun (or visually stimulating) than the full blown games that are sometimes (legally) downloadable for free.
Maybe I'm not in the "social thing" like they are...
