Marvel: Avengers Alliance

A few weeks before The Avengers movie premiere, I found Marvel: Avengers Alliance on Facebook. It appears to have 8.7 million monthly users right now and after playing for roughly a month and a half, it is my opinion that this is one of the better FB games available for free on the internet. Players start off with a limited number of heroes (Iron Man, Black Widow) and as they accumulate Command Points, can unlock other characters and various outfits for particular benefits.

Diablo 3 Gold Auction House

With experience in US stock and game markets, the gold auction house has presented itself as a particularly fun mini game to compliment Diablo 3 and my efforts flipping items have made farming completely unnecessary. I haven't replayed an earlier boss once, simply by playing the game as normal and then buying low and selling high - and my gear is pretty dang good. On my first day at the Auction House, I took 20k and ran it up to 2 million. On day two, I profited 10 million. On day three, another 10 million. Overall, roughly 12 total hours have been spent playing the Gold Auction House. After that, I've managed to outfit my character with powerful weapons and armor and now still have a pretty large balance.

Diablo 3 as a Monk

Of the five total classes, the Monk has struck me as the most exciting. Similar to a Zealot from the Diablo 2 days, he or she strikes quickly and uses "Mantras," which are comparable to the Paladin's Auras. YouTube videos showing the Monk in action during the D3 Beta showed him to be powerful and impressive, and playing as that character through Normal, Nightmare, and Hell difficulties showed that I may have made the correct choice.

War Metal Tyrant

War Metal Tyrant is a collectible card game on Facebook, similar to Magic: The Gathering and Warstorm. I've been playing War Metal Tyrant a lot longer than I've been playing Warstorm, but Tyrant takes a bit longer to play since you only have 100 energy at a time vs the infinite energy of Warstorm.

War Metal

War Metal is a time based strategy game on Facebook. There are multiple goals one can have; high kill %, high win %, but it appears the primary goals of WarMetal players is to acquire the highest end units in their force and do high amounts of damage in epic battles. With this guide, you should be able to optimize your force and make better decisions than other players.

Lord of Ultima

Someone started a thread in the War Metal (Facebook Game) Discussion Board, "PLZZZ Come play this game with me!" I clicked, and the game is Lord of Ultima. I've since quit War Metal and Mobsters 2, and spend most of my gaming time destroying castles and growing my empire. It took me about a month of very slow, incorrect clicking, but I feel like I've figured out many of the ways you can create a massive empire without it taking an insane amount of time. The main tricks are: Specialized Cities, Efficient Use of Your Queue, Raids, and How to Destroy Cities. Read ahead to learn more!

Mobsters 2

Mobsters 2 is a roleplaying game on Facebook, where you are a mobster coming up the ranks to acquire property, money, unique items, and fight other players! You can currently travel between 10 locations, and each location has it's own set of missions for you to accomplish a number of times, until you have that job mastered. With mastery comes more money, items, and if you master all the jobs in one location you will get a unique and powerful avatar item.

Warstorm

Here you'll figure out how to get good cards for your decks, how to put a deck together properly, the types of decks to combine, and how to fight against various deck setups. Warstorm doesn't have reloadable energy. You can play for as many open campaigns you have available. Once you complete all campaigns you can only play PvP, pay in-game cash to replay old campaigns, and wait for new campaigns to be developed. Once you complete a campaign, you get silver every day, which can be exchanged for booster packs to improve your decks. With an abundance of in-game cash, I bought a bunch of Mercenary decks and created some SICK decks.
