Idle Games Wants To Be The Pixar Of Social Gaming; In Their First Game, You Play God

playdom-co-founder%E2%80%99s-new-facebook-game-inspires-faith-in-flash-innovationIf you were into PC gaming in the early 2000s, you know what Black & White is.Peter Molyneux's 2001 classic published by EA gave every gamer the role they wanted: God. A new startup is aiming to bring that style of game into the social space. And more broadly, they aim to be the "Pixar of casual games".Idle Games is launching today at TechCrunch Disrupt. Their first title is Idle Worship, a Black & White-esque game for Facebook. You play the role of a god, controlling villagers on an island to do certain tasks for you. While that may sound ominous, you can choose to be either good or bad in your actions. And overall, the game is light-hearted and fun.We've been playing with a beta version of the game for a few weeks; it's solid.
