I wouldn't worry about catching virus' or any other kind of malicious threat from playing Facebook games. However I would keep my antivirus software updated just to be on the safe side.

I always hear that people say that Facebook gives you viruses, i would expect that cuz its so popular and used a lot. Thanks for the tip!

I think the problem you have there is that most people browse Facebook a lot. When get infected with a virus they quickly assume that Facebook is the cause because "that's all they've been on", when in actual fact its more than likely they've download an infected file and have no idea how to keep their computers secure with AV software.
