Pretty neat Facebook app, but heavily inundated with RMT (visit sponsors or pay money for an advantage), and not the cheap kind either. You can buy $150 worth of stuff for the game client that'll give you a ridiculous advantage.

Still, pretty nice game design rules. If you're on Facebook you can play it. Zynga Games seems to make several different flavors (Vampires, Dragon Age, Special Forces).

I have become mildly addicted to this. Level 44 atm.

Me as well, despite the glaring shortcomings.  But pay money for it?  I don't think so.

What amazes me about this game is that my husband will play it.  He won't play anything, except car racing games, but this game has somehow managed to snag his attention.  He'll log in a few times a day and play it, make spreadsheets to see what properties he should buy, and take out hits on people with glee.  He's even created two fake new Facebook accounts so he could grow his mafia.

I keep thinking about how flawed it is when I play.  Yet I still spend a few minutes a day on it.
