Report - Facebook games finding it harder to attract users

The number of Facebook users regularly playing games has dropped by half in the space of a year, according to IHS Screen Digest Media Research.
The analyst firm claims that at the end of 2011 around 25% of Facebook users played games - down from 50% of all users at the end of 2010.
IHS Screen Digest Media put the decrease down to growing competition on Facebook as well as from other casual spheres like mobiles.
