Mafia Wars: Day 30

It seems that I have amassed $593,739,202 in New York. I would be happier with that number if I actually could use it to purchase anything other than more properties. Overall, I felt the Mafia Wars experience to be a bit lacking. This is very hard for me to say considering I spent a majority of my childhood playing role playing games, and have played the good and the bad.

This is one of those games that had to be played back in the day. Starting out years down the road only makes things harder as most of your opponents have had years of time to level up and buy good equipment.

As far as the "Social" aspect of Social Networking Games, this one had probably the least. You had the ability to join mobs and send gifts, but other than that, there was no real interaction. Games like FarmVille and City of Wonders allow you to visit your friends colonies and farms and help out.

I never actually purchased any in game money, but I did spend a little of the pity points you get from leveling up. Mafia Wars offers "Reward Points," and for 10 dollars you can get 42 of them. This works out to about 42¢ per reward point. I purchased the following equipment with the free RP:

•  4 RP to finish a quest
• 8 RP for a nice rocket launcher that had better defense then offense

I think this will be one game that I will be happy to say goodbye to.
