Facebook gaming

In the spirit of "don't knock it till you try", about a week ago i started playing "Pirates Ahoy!" because an artist i like lots worked on it and i was interested to see how it came out.

It's a cute, interesting and simple management game. the first drawback to it though is that you need to have tons of friends on facebook to do well. Yet, i persist.

In hope of getting help in the game, i asked everyone i knew if they had Facebook, For a huge ass social network, no one seems to use the damn thing. I myself only have an account cause i wanted to comment on someone's site and they had an option to do so with Facebook (which i ended up ditching in favor of my twitter account.)

Surprisingly, Bittenhard has a Facebook too that he uses to play Mafia wars, and he got me into it.



I find the game to b really interesting seeing as you can pick how you wanna play it: you can do jobs, you can attack other people, you can steal, become a hitman etc. As you level up u get bonus points you can assign to your stats that help you improve at the role you want to assume in this game.

Again though, there's the issue of friends. Having a lot of friends on Facebook helps exponentially more in this game, even if they don't play the game.

I'm trying out other Facebook games, but so far Mafia wars seems the most entertaining one. You shouldn't think of these games as full time entertainment, but as something u can pick up for 5-10 mins once or twice a day. For that they're pretty good.

If anyone needs an extra guy in a Facebook game, just pop by my Facebook add me as a friend.
