Say hello to muh little friend. Mob Wars is a text based social gangster game. The goal of the game is to create your own powerful mob and become the top mobster on Facebook. Being a big fan of the Sopranos I had high hopes when I first joined the application. You start the game with $4,000 in cash, 100 health, 10 energy, 3 Stamina and 0 experience. When you first join the application you are presented with a list of options in the main menu. These include the following:

The Job List     (Make some fast money and gain experience.)
The City     (Claim control of the city to earn recurring income.)
The Bank     (Safehouse your earnings here, but for a fee.)
The Godfather     (Help The Godfather, earn big rewards in return.)
Fight Now     (Attack and rob rival mobsters.)
My Stockpile     (Equip your mob with weapons, vehicles, and gadgets.)
My Mob     (Expand your mob to become more powerful.)
My Profile     (View and level-up your character.)
Made Men     (Pay your respects to the top mobsters on Mob Wars.)

The Job List is your primary source to gain money and experience points. An example of ‘jobs’ includes muggings, burglaries and liquor store holdups. New jobs are unlocked as your experience grows (you can’t expect to pull off a bank heist on your first day as a gangster). However, actually doing the job is rather lame, there is a button that simply says ‘Do Job’. Granted each job has various requirements such as Energy and various weapons. After you ‘do’ the job you gain money and experience and your energy is replenished with time (there is a small countdown clock under the energy status). The game is surprisingly complex, you can buy properties in the City tab which generate income for you or you can go to the bank to stash your loot. Also no gangster game would be complete without the Godfather, and Mob Wars is no exception. The Godfather section is an avenue for the developers to monetize the application. You are given ’10 favor points’ when you start the game and you can go to the Godfather to trade your favor points for various game elements such as weapons, health, energy and even mob members. You can either buy favor points outright via PayPal for 4 favor points for a $1.00 or you can click various advertisements to gain favor points as well. Another feature of the application is the Fight section where you can attack other players. The application provides a list of players of similar level and experience attributes and is a good way to gain experience points quickly (assuming you win the fight). The action mechanism is also lame as it is similar to doing a job in that you simply have a button that say ‘attack’. In my opinion I think it would be more interesting if the developers perhaps included some kind of quick flash mini-game where you actually fight another mobster. All in all it is a very engaging and extremely fun to play and explore the feature-rich application
