Since you have a game app, all you need to do is to publish their score using the games score API described here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/score/

From: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/games/

Scores and Achievements

Scores and achievements APIs are built on Open Graph and receive the same distribution points that all Open Graph stories do - Ticker, Newsfeed and Timeline. In addition to these scores and achievements also benefit from built in aggregations and stories that have been designed by Facebook.

The message parameter is deprecated, also you can use FBJS API to post in a user feed,

function postToFeed() {
    var obj = {
        method:      'feed',
        link:        'https://apps.facebook.com/APP_NAMESPACE/',
        picture:     'https://domain.tld/75x75.jpg',
        name:        'TITLE',
        caption:     'CAPTION',
        description: 'My Score: '+score
    };
    FB.ui(obj);
}

but you have to ask the user for publish_stream permissions first.

You are not supposed to prefill the message field, asper Facebook, unless from a natural flow, such as a user typing in a textbox and sending to the message field on a submit. You should use the description, caption fields for your purpose.
