Lord of the Rings advergame
Before making the journey to various consoles and handheld gaming systems, Aragorn will take his quest to Facebook in a social adventure... of sorts. To help create some buzz of his next adventure in The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn's Quest, Warner Bros. have created a small (alright, it's minuscule) Facebook game for fans to enter. Players can take four of their friends along for the ride, filling the roles of The Wizard, The Hobbit, The Dwarf and The Elf. (If you can't figure out who they represent, then you must be new to this.)
After choosing a friend for each role, well, that's it really. The only purpose this serves is to enter you and your friends into the various contests that will take place on the game's fan page. Though, you can make alternate teams with more of your friends to increase your chances of winning the grand prize, a massive prize pack including an HDTV, a Sony Playstation 3 with MOVE motion controller starter pack and a copy of The Lord of The Rings: Aragorn's Quest.
All in all, it's a pretty big let down and a horribly missed opportunity at crafting what could have been an epic Facebok adventure. What's even worse is this sweepstakes is only open to our friends across the pond in the U.K., but at least Lord of the Rings fans across the globe can play the advergame and mark their friends as either Gandalf, Samwise, Legolas or Gimli in weekly quests. (Though, it seems somewhat wasteful at that point, really.) Act quickly, our British friends, as your journey for the grand prize will end on Jan. 14.

Simplehuman Facebook game delivers squeaky clean fun and prizes
If brushed nickel sensor pumps and liquid soap refills rock your world, then you need to check out "Made for Each Other", a Facebook advergame created by Hello Design to promote Simplehuman's latest soap products. Best known for their stainless steel, foot-activated trash cans, Simplehuman is a Canadian maker of household goods, designed to live up to their company motto of "tools for efficient living".
Launched today, Made for Each Other is a memory game where you click to match tiles in the quickest time possible. Examples of winning matches are ketchup and french fries, a bear and honey, needle and thread, salt and pepper, et al.
A timer at the top right of the game lets you know how long you've been playing. When you've matched everything, you have the option to share your score with friends.
Simplehuman prizes
Twenty-five exclusive prizes are being offered for the 25 fastest players. You can see the leading 25 players on the game's leaderboard, along with how fast they are. As of this writing, Ryan Skipple holds an amazing lead time of 8 seconds and 43 milliseconds. The slowest players average about 12 seconds each. (My fastest time so far has been 18 seconds.)
Simplehuman Leaderboard
While there's no telling how long the game will stick around, the giveaway contest will only last until November 21. Players still on the leaderboard by 9:00 p.m. PT of that date will be declared the winners. For the full details of this promotion, click here. To play, you must first 'Like' the Simplehuman Facebook page.
