Time magazine article about mafia Wars
My favorite quote, “The truth is, you don’t really play *Mafia Wars*; it plays you. It rewards you lavishly for doing next to nothing and for propagating its viral spores further and further into your social network, thereby perpetuating its existence. http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1935113,00.html
