Join The Fun in Mafia Wars

Join the fun in Mafia Wars. Some have asked how they can join the fun, and therefore I wanted to share the link with all readers, so you can become a part of the gameplay. I have currently reached level 580, and the more the merrier in Mafia Wars. :-)

How Facebook Blocks Gameplay

Today I am going to reveal to you how Facebook blocks gameplay for those who are succesful in completing missions. The last couple of weeks growth has been big for the four games I play, namely in Mafia Wars, Mob Wars and Crime City, but also in Cafe World. As I told you in previous articles being social involves helping friends in your mobs to achieve better results. The more you give to others, the more you will get back. In fact, you even have the tab "Recommended friends" where Zynga will tell you which friends give the most back.



My current achievement levels are these:

• Crime City - 71


• Mob Wars - 548


• Mafia Wars - 578

Social media involves people requesting your friendship on Facebook since most of the games require you to be friends before you can join their mob or become neighbors, whichever fits the scenario.

The problem is then that some strange robot is monitoring the amount of friendship requests you make or receive, and suddenly tells you that you have sent requests even though this morning there were in fact 38 pending friendship requests in my inbox. I didn't make any of these requests. They were sent to me by a friend who also plays Mafia Wars, and probably even reads this blog too...

So Facebook should get their act together if they want partners to develop games for their platform. There are competitors out there, dear Facebook, so maybe you should get your team to change the settings of your robot to fit the lavel "social media."

Please share this article with whomever might need this information. We want our games to be safe places where we can have lots of fun sharing the hobbies we like and playing the games we enjoy.

Merry X-mas everyone. :-)

New Cities in Mafia Wars

As you may have noticed, new cities have been added to the Mafia Wars game: Los Angeles and Washington DC. As always new challenges will increase the quality of the game, and the Zynga team are making a good effort in trying to increase the quality of the gameplay.

One annoying thing, however, are the intro screens when you log into Mafia Wars from Facebook. The constant offers for credits is quíte tedious, and when you are a frequent player that does take a bit away from an otherwise fun game to play.

So, dear Zynga, please be mindful that these intro screens are a real pain in the backside...

Mob Wars -Status Level 526

As you can see things are moving very fast when you have an iPhone app at your fingertips. Seven levels with only little time spent each day. Soon moving into Los Angeles as the newest city, so certainly looking forward to share experiences with all of you.

What are your achievements in either Mob Wars, Mafia Wars or Crime City?

Don't be shy, dear fellow players. Your feedback is much appreciated.

Mob Wars - Status 519

As I mentioned in a previous article about the Mob Wars app, it has been an amazing experience to test the game on my iPhone. Moved from level 504 to level 519 in no time - and now the game is just seconds away when you go to the bathroom or sit in a bus.

I really hope Zynga develops an app for Mafia Wars too, and even a paid app could become a success since you are no longer required to start up your computer to squeeze in a few minutes of fun...

Crime City App for iPhone

In continuation of my article about the Mob Wars App for iPhone, I have found that now you can also play Crime City on your iPhone.

Games are truly becoming the thing here in the 21st century. Just imagine that a couple of decades ago, a 80286 was running at 12Mhz, the CPU speed of an iPhone is more than 50 times bigger and the complexity of instructions far bigger running on ARM class CPUs...

Handheld cellphones, in other words, are becoming the way to perform complex tasks - and you almost don't need a real computer anymore. People who have bought iPads have similar experiences, and now that televisions are also beginning to run WiFi and infrared transfer possibilities, you can quite literally play YouTube videos on your television screen without connecting any cables.

Have a nice weekend, and enjoy your gameplay everyone. :-)

Mob Wars App For iPhone

If you like crime games, it might be useful to know that Mob Wars is now also available as an app for your iPhone.

I have found this rather useful because now you can play the game when you are in the train or in a bus on your way to either work or school.

I have attained level 504 in Mob Wars - and some of the game play is rather fun now that you can attack bosses without having to attack fellow players. Each boss has a prerequisite of beating a former level boss minimum ten times before the next boss is unlocked.

Excellent game, as I am sure you already know... :-)
