Fight Your Way Through Levels

In both Mafia Wars and Mob Wars, an effective tool to increase your levels is fighting other bosses. The experience points you get from these fights is gold for both your 'street credibility', but also when compared with completing jobs.

Since your ammo comes back more quickly than your energy that will cause you to move much faster through new levels.

Have fun playing - and have a nice weekend. :-)

Mob Wars - Level 619

Now at level 619, I have had a chance to take a closer look at the Mob Wars app on my iPad. What is still missing is both the ability to 'super' attack large mobs, something you can do when you play Mob Wars using a browser logged in on Facebook.

Furthermore, access to your stockpile cards is unavailable when playing through the app.

Is Zynga listening?

That is a fair question.

If they want to increase their earnings from those who BUY their way to increased favor points they can spend in the black market, they should keep enhancing the app.

Now, you don't need to spend any money to become succesful in Mob Wars, but some of the people who have attained level 10,000 and above, and who run hitlists against each others costing trillions of game dollars must have resources from somewhere...

But Mob Wars must be enhanced in the app sphere to survive. Game players ARE becoming mobile so this is where the market is...

Mob Wars - Level 616

Things are moving rather fast in the field of Mob Wars. Many are playing using the app on mobile devices. Actually I have also noticed something rather amazing. People with under 50 mob members have also achieved levels 500 and above.

So size isn't the only thing you need, but creativity comes in all colors.

Have a nice, and playful, weekend everyone. :-)

Mob Wars - Level 608 Reached

As I wrote a few articles back the use of the Mob Wars app on the iPad has been very helpful in maintaining a regular player role.

This, obviously, doesn't mean I didn't play regularly before this, but it has been proven that I have played it considerably more since I bought the iPad.

What are YOUR favorite games on Facebook? Are there games you would like to hear more about, or special things about any of the games I have already written about you need more information about?

In other words: I welcome your comments. :-)

Mob Wars - Level 600 Reached

Just as I recently mentioned the Crime City game on the iPad, I must say improvements to the Mob Wars app has also gone very excellently, and I have reached level 600.

The only thing that hasn't yet been added to the Mob Wars app is checking your stockpile with all the bonus cards you get when you reach new levels in each job in cities, but that is easily checked using your internet browser since you don't get a complete collection in one go...

All in all, Facebook games are beginning to be rather well designed, and the worst of games don't really enjoy the same type of growth. So just as I mentioned 17 million users of Mafia Wars, a good determining factor is how many users are running the game. When the numbers have reached a certain level it is rather safe to assume that the game actually works.

Have fun playing - and as always, you are welcome to join my various mobs. :-)

Crime City App on the iPad

I must say quite a lot has happened since I originally tried the Crime City on the iPhone 4. Originally, I was somewhat surprised - and, yes, even disappointed - that you had to start all over from scratch when you played the Crime City game on the iPhone.

I am still disappointed that you can't transfer the level achieved on your Crime City profile connected to your Facebook profile when you play using the browser on your computer...

But the speed of the app on your iPad IS fast. Not just faster than on the iPhone 4, but it is quite literally fast and the gameplay is FAR improved compared with Flash running on your computer.

Funzio have really improved the app, and is warmly recommended if you want to enjoy the game.

The Art of Social Gameplay in Social Networks

When it comes to gameplay in social networks such as Facebook games, there is an art that has been forgotten. In order to GET help in your own games, you need to start the circle of good karma.

I have seen numerous players who gladly add themselves to your network, and even though they get help for the boss fights in Crime City or wars in Mafia Wars, they don't return the favor. Some even start a fight with a boss in Crime City, and don't even spend the first bullet (stamina), but expect their friends to do the entire work.

First of all, added bonus - special hardware - is earned by delivering at least 10% of the damage in Crime City. If you do more, some would say it was wasted. That is the wrong attitude, and here's the reason why this is so. If the fight ends (after 2 or 3 days) without a full win even your 10% help is wasted.

So for tougher bosses you need to go all in - and don't waste time adding several bosses to the fight list at the same time. You will only lose everything from that strategy.

But if you want some real fun, and are willing to return the favor you can get a lot of help by being social in your gameplay. Start being succesful today so you won't be considered a leech as some are in online games.
