Mafia Wars

The basic idea behind the online game "Mafia Wars" by Zynga is simple; Start your Mafia family, Run 3 kinds of crime business and eventually try to rule all of New York City and eventually the entire island of Cuba.

OK, great, so how do you do this?

Your 2 main goals are pretty simple, grow your family and level up. Recruit as many people into your mafia family as possible to gain strength. You want as many people doing jobs for the family as well as a lot of people for fights. The more people you have the better off you are. Recruiting is pretty simple, first invite your friends and after that there are loads of places on Facebook and other social networks to find new recruits. Remember, to have someone to join in your mafia family you will have to make them your friend on Facebook or Tagged.

You level up by doing various jobs and winning fights. As you increase in level you will have the opportunity to gain more properties, better weapons and other inventory items as well as earn money.

The game itself is really addictive once you start. You will find yourself signing in just to see if you made any money or if anything new has happened. IT can get crazy but all in all it's a lot of fun. To start playing just do a search for Mafia Wars on Facebook. It is also available for yahoo and MySpace and I am pretty sure the iphone now too.
