Viral Craze

Trusted Websites for PC Game Reviews and Ratings

noreply@blogger.com (John Paul Carrasco) — Sun, 14 Dec 2025 12:30:00 +0000

For the most trustworthy PC game ratings, use review aggregators (Metacritic, OpenCritic) to get the big picture, then confirm with one strong editorial review (PC Gamer, GameSpot, IGN, Rock Paper Shotgun, Eurogamer) and finish with user sentiment (Steam reviews, GOG reviews). For PC performance and graphics analysis, Digital Foundry is one of the best “reality check” sources.

What makes a review site “trusted” on PC

A site is more reliable when it consistently does these things:

Tests on PC properly (settings, performance, bugs, controls—not just console impressions)
Explains the score (clear pros/cons, not vague hype)
Shows context (what type of player will love/hate it)
Has accountability (named reviewers, consistent standards, corrections when needed)

The fastest way to get a reliable rating (the 2-minute routine)

Do this, and you’ll avoid most bad buys:

Check an aggregator for a quick “overall consensus.”
Read one full review from a trusted outlet that matches your taste
Scan user reviews (especially “recent” ones) for stability, bugs, and whether the game is actually fun long-term.

Trusted sites by category

1) Best review aggregators (quick consensus)

Use these when you want the “big picture” fast.

OpenCritic: Great for critic consensus and seeing how reviewers generally scored it.

Metacritic: Useful for quick comparison across games, plus a separate user score (which you should interpret carefully).

Best for: “Is this generally considered good?” and “How does it compare to similar games?”

2) Best editorial review outlets (real write-ups)

Use these when you want the “why,” not just a number.

PC Gamer: Strong PC-first perspective and PC audience mindset.
Rock Paper Shotgun: Great for thoughtful critique, PC flavor, and “is it actually enjoyable?”
Eurogamer: Solid editorial standards and clear opinions.
GameSpot / IGN: Big coverage and quick reads; good as one of your cross-checks (not your only source).
Polygon: More culture/editorial angle; useful if you want a broader context.

Best for: “Will I like it?” and “What are the tradeoffs?”

3) Best for PC performance and tech-focused reviews

Use these when you care about stutter, frame pacing, settings impact, and real-world performance.

Digital Foundry: Strong for performance breakdowns and technical analysis.

Best for: “Will this run well?” and “Does the PC version have issues?”

4) Best user-rating sources (real player sentiment)

Use these to spot patterns: crashes, grind, matchmaking quality, late-game problems, and whether players still recommend it.

Steam user reviews: The most useful “at scale” signal for many PC games (especially if you read the text, not just the percent).

GOG user reviews: Helpful for DRM-free buyers and older/catalog games.

Best for: “Is it stable now?” and “Do players still recommend it after 20+ hours?”

How to read ratings without getting tricked

These quick rules keep you grounded:

The critic score tells you the quality. User score often tells you the controversy and sentiment. Use both, but don’t treat them equally.
Read 3–5 written reviews. A number alone is easy to game.
Look for PC-specific notes. If a review never mentions performance/settings, it’s less useful for PC buyers.
On Steam/GOG, sort by “recent.” Launch issues and patches change the story fast.

Red flags that make ratings unreliable

If you see these, slow down and cross-check:

Huge score swings in a short time (often drama, updates, or review bombing)
Reviews that sound like marketing (no real negatives, no specifics)
No mention of PC performance, settings, or bugs
Lots of one-line user reviews with no details
“10/10” and “0/10” extremes dominating the conversation

Conclusion

Most reliable way to trust a PC game rating is to combine three viewpoints: an aggregator for consensus, one strong editorial review for real context, and user reviews for long-term truth. Once you get used to that loop, you’ll waste less money—and you’ll buy games that actually match your taste.

How to Gift a PC Game to a Friend Through a Digital Store

noreply@blogger.com (John Paul Carrasco) — Sun, 07 Dec 2025 12:30:00 +0000

To gift a PC game through a digital store: confirm you and your friend use the same platform (and compatible region), choose the correct edition, select the store’s “buy as gift” option (or send a gift card/code if gifting isn’t supported), then confirm they received and redeemed it.

Before you gift: do these 5 checks.

Do these first. They prevent almost every gifting fail.

1) Confirm the platform your friend actually uses

Ask one simple question: “Do you play on Steam, Epic, GOG, Xbox app, EA, Ubisoft, Battle.net… which one?”

If you gift on the wrong platform, it’s basically useless.

2) Confirm region compatibility

Even when a store allows gifting, some gifts won’t send or redeem if the regions don’t match.

If you and your friend live in different countries, assume you need to double-check the region rules before buying.

3) Make sure they don’t already own it

Most platforms won’t let a gift go through if the friend already owns the game (or it becomes messy to refund).

Quick fix: ask them to add it to their wishlist first.

4) Pick the right edition on purpose

This is where people accidentally buy the “base game” when the friend wanted:

Deluxe / Ultimate edition
Bundle that includes DLC
“Complete” version

If you’re unsure, gift the base game now and add a DLC gift card later.

5) Choose delivery method

Decide now:

Send instantly
Schedule for a birthday/holiday
Send a code they can redeem later.

Method 1: Gift directly inside the store

This is the cleanest option when it’s available.

Step 1: Log in to your store account

Use the account you’ll pay with. Make sure you’re not signed into an old account by accident.

Step 2: Find the game and choose the exact edition

Double-check the edition name before checkout. If DLC is included, confirm it’s listed on the product page.

Step 3: Look for the gifting option at purchase

Common labels you’ll see:

“Purchase as a gift.”
“Gift this game.”
“Buy for a friend.”
“Send as a gift.”

If you don’t see anything like that, jump to the backup options section.

Step 4: Choose the recipient

Depending on the store, you’ll either:

Pick a friend from your friends list, or
Enter their email address.

Step 5: Add a message (optional) and send

Keep the message simple. If there’s a “delivery date” option, set it now.

Step 6: Confirm it was delivered

Most stores display a confirmation screen, a receipt, or a “gift sent” history entry.

If possible, tell your friend: “Check your email and your launcher notifications.”

Method 2: If gifting isn’t supported, use the best backup option

Some platforms don’t reliably support “gift at checkout” for every game or region. When that happens, don’t force it.

Option A: Digital gift card (usually the safest)

Buy a gift card for the exact store your friend uses, then they can buy the game themselves.

This avoids:

Region issues
Ownership duplicates
Wrong edition mistakes

Option B: Redeemable code (only from legitimate sellers)

Sometimes you can gift a redeemable code/key that your friend activates in their launcher.

Do this only if you’re buying from a reputable, legitimate store. Avoid random “too cheap” marketplaces.

Option C: Wishlist + payback (low effort, zero mistakes)

Ask them to wishlist the exact edition, then you reimburse them or send the exact store credit amount.

Not romantic, but it’s foolproof.

The most common gifting problems (and quick fixes)

“I can’t gift it to them.”

Usually one of these:

They’re not on your friends list (some stores require a friend connection)
Region restrictions
The game itself is not eligible for gifting in that store.

Fix: switch to a store gift card.

“They didn’t receive it.”

Fix order:

Have them check the launcher notifications.
Have them check spam/promotions email folders.
Verify you sent to the right account/email.
If it still doesn’t show, contact store support with the receipt

“They already own it.”

If the store blocks it, pick a different game or gift store credit instead.

If it already went through, refunds for gifts vary by platform and situation, so don’t promise a refund—check the store’s purchase history/refund page.

“It won’t redeem/says not available in my region.”

That’s usually region restrictions. The cleanest fix is store credit (gift card) in their region, or buying from their store account region directly (if the store allows).

Quick “best practice” gifting checklist

Confirm platform
Confirm region compatibility
Confirm edition
Confirm they don’t own it.
Prefer store gifting first.
Use gift cards as the safe fallback.
Confirm delivery after sending.

Conclusion

Gifting a PC game is easy when you treat it like a quick checklist: same platform, compatible region, right edition, correct recipient, and a clean delivery method. If the store’s gifting option isn’t available (or feels risky), don’t fight it—use a store gift card or a legit redeemable code, and you’ll avoid the most common problems.

Recommendations for PC Games With Active Online Communities

noreply@blogger.com (John Paul Carrasco) — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 12:30:00 +0000

If you want a PC game with an active online community, choose games that have fast matchmaking, frequent updates/events, and busy community hubs (Discord, forums, LFG). Consistently active picks include competitive staples (like top Steam-chart titles), long-running co-op games that spike with updates, and MMOs/ARPGs built around grouping and build-sharing.

What “active community” really means (not just “a lot of players”)

An active community isn’t only about big numbers. It’s about whether you can actually play with people easily.

1) Matchmaking feels instant (or at least predictable)

You’re not waiting forever for a queue, and you can find matches at normal hours without “dead playlist” problems.

2) There are places where people actually talk and organize

Active communities have real hubs: Discord LFG channels, guild/clan tools, active forums, and build guides that keep updating.

3) The game gets real updates, not just “shop refreshes.”

Healthy games get patches, seasons, events, balance changes, and quality-of-life improvements that keep players returning.

How to verify a game is active before you install

This saves you from downloading 80GB just to find empty queues.

Check player activity (fastest reality check)

For Steam games, you can sanity-check activity using Steam’s own “most played” listings or community charts that show who’s online right now.

What you’re looking for:

The game shows up consistently in “most played.”
The numbers don’t collapse outside a single hype weekend

Check the community hub in 60 seconds

Open the game’s community spaces and look for:

Recent posts every day (not every month)
Active “LFG / party up” channels
New player guides that were updated recently

Check update cadence

If the last meaningful patch was a long time ago, that’s when communities fade.
If patch notes and events keep landing, communities usually stay healthy.

Recommended PC games with active online communities

Competitive games with nonstop matchmaking

These are the safest picks if you want “always online, always people.”

Counter-Strike 2

If you want instant queues, a huge skill ladder, and a community that never sleeps, CS2 sits near the top of Steam’s most-played charts for a reason.

Best for:

Competitive FPS
Short sessions
Ranked grind

Dota 2

If you like deep strategy, high skill ceiling, and constant discussion/meta shifts, Dota 2 stays among the most played on Steam.

Best for:

Competitive team strategy
Long-term mastery
Watching and learning from the community

PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS

If you want battle royale with a massive player base and steady matchmaking, PUBG remains a top-played Steam title.

Best for:

Battle royale
Tactical pacing
“One more match” sessions

Apex Legends

If you want movement-heavy FPS with squads and a strong ranked culture, Apex regularly appears among Steam’s most played.

Best for:

Squad FPS
Fast action
Ranked + casual mix

Co-op / PvE games where people actually help each other

These are great if you like teamwork, builds, and a friendlier vibe.

Warframe

Warframe is one of the clearest examples of a game that stays active because updates pull huge waves of returning players, recently spiking hard after a major update.

Best for:

Co-op PvE
Long-term progression
“There’s always something to do.”

MMOs where it’s easy to find groups

MMOs live or die by community tools.

Final Fantasy XIV

FFXIV has built-in social structures (free companies, linkshells) and official community-finding tools to help players connect, which is a big reason it stays social even when you’re new.

Best for:

Social MMO play
Group content + long-term community
Players who like structured cooperation

Loot/ARPG games with build-sharing communities

If you love builds, guides, and trading/meta discussion, these communities are loud (in a good way).

Path of Exile 2

PoE2 has shown strong Steam activity and a community that constantly debates builds, endgame farming, and patch changes—exactly the “active community” vibe ARPG players want.

Best for:

Deep character builds
Constant theorycrafting
Players who enjoy learning from others

Quick pick guide (choose the community you want)

If you want…

Fast matchmaking and endless opponents: pick competitive staples (CS2, Dota 2, PUBG, Apex).
Helpful co-op and long progression: pick long-running PvE (Warframe).
Social groups and structured teamwork: pick MMOs with strong community tools (FFXIV).
Build talk, guides, and meta debates: pick ARPGs (PoE2).

Conclusion

“Active community” means you can log in and instantly find matches, groups, and real conversations—plus the game keeps getting updates that bring people back. Use the quick checks (charts + hubs + patch cadence), then pick a game that matches the kind of community you want: competitive, co-op, social MMO, or build-focused ARPG.

If you want, join our email list, and we’ll send a monthly “Still Active on PC” shortlist—games that are actually busy right now, plus what to play if you’re new.

Steps to Install a Newly Purchased PC Game From a Digital Platform

noreply@blogger.com (John Paul Carrasco) — Sun, 23 Nov 2025 13:51:00 +0000

Install the platform app (like Steam/Epic/GOG/Xbox/EA/Ubisoft), sign in, find your purchased game in your library, choose an install drive, start the download, then verify files and launch once to finish setup. If anything fails, the fastest fixes are: restart the launcher, check storage space, and verify game files.

Step 1: Do these 3 checks before you download

Do this first so you don’t waste time halfway through.

Confirm you have enough storage

Many “60 GB” games actually need extra space for unpacking.
If you’re close to full, clear space first.

Pick the best drive

If you have an SSD, install the game there for faster load times.
HDD is fine for older games, but big open-world titles can feel slower.

Make sure your internet is stable

If your download keeps pausing, use a wired connection if possible, or pause other big downloads/streams.

Step 2: Install the correct launcher for where you bought the game

A "digital platform” usually means you need its app installed.

Common examples:

Steam
Epic Games Launcher
GOG Galaxy (or GOG offline installers)
Xbox app (Microsoft Store style installs)
EA app
Ubisoft Connect

Download the launcher from the platform’s official site, install it, then sign in with the same account you used to buy the game.

Step 3: Find your purchased game in your Library

Once you’re signed in, don’t search the store first. Go here:

Library (most launchers)
My Collection (some layouts)
Owned / Purchased (varies)

If you can’t find the game:

Confirm you’re on the right account (email mismatch is the #1 reason)
Check if you bought it as a key and need to redeem it (next step)

Step 4: Redeem a key if your purchase came with one

Some stores sell a key that you redeem inside the launcher.

Typical “Redeem” locations:

Under your account menu
Under a “Games” or “Activate” menu
A “Redeem code” button in the library area

After redeeming, the game should appear in your library.

Step 5: Choose the right install location

This is where most people accidentally install the wrong drive.

Best practice:

Make a dedicated folder like D:\Games\ or E:\Games\
Let the launcher manage the inside folders

If your launcher offers “Library folders,” set your preferred drive once, so future installs go there automatically.

Small tip that saves headaches:

Avoid installing into random system folders like Program Files if you don’t need to.
Keep your game library in a simple folder path.

Step 6: Download and install the game

Now click Install (or Download).

During installation, watch for:

Language pack choices
HD texture pack options
Optional DLC (some launchers let you tick these)

If the download is slow:

Pause → resume once
Restart the launcher
Temporarily disable “limit download speed” if it’s turned on

Step 7: Verify files and finish setup

Do this once after install, especially for big games.

Verify game files

Most platforms have a “verify” option that checks missing/corrupt files and repairs them.

Use it if:

The game won’t launch
You get instant crashes
The download completed, but errors show up

First launch: let it install dependencies

On first launch, some games install extras like:

Visual C++ runtimes
DirectX components
Anti-cheat services (for multiplayer)

Let those finish. Don’t cancel them.

Set basic in-game settings before your first real session

Resolution
Fullscreen vs borderless
Refresh rate (match your monitor)
V-Sync on/off depending on preference

Quick fixes for common install problems

Use these in order (fastest first):

Restart the launcher
Reboot the PC
Check storage space again (including the drive you installed to)
Verify files
Run the launcher as Administrator (only if you see permission errors)
Move the install to a different drive (if the drive is failing or extremely slow)

Conclusion

Installing a newly purchased PC game is usually the same flow across platforms: install the launcher, sign in, install to the right drive, download, verify, then launch once to finish setup. If something goes wrong, don’t guess—restart the launcher, confirm storage, and verify files. That fixes most problems without reinstalling everything.

Compare Digital Stores for PC Game Discounts and Never Overpay Again

noreply@blogger.com (John Paul Carrasco) — Sun, 16 Nov 2025 12:30:00 +0000

If you want the best deals on PC games, start with Steam for big seasonal sales like the 'Steam Summer Sale' and 'Winter Holiday Sale', which offer wide discounts and a lot of games to choose from. For aggressive promos, occasional events like the 'Epic Mega Sale' and free games, go to the Epic Games Store.

For strong discounts on DRM-free games, go to GOG. For bundles, coupons, and frequent authorized-key deals, go to Humble, Fanatical, or Green Man Gaming. What makes the "best" store for you depends on whether you care more about the lowest price, owning the item without DRM, getting a refund, or getting extras like bundles.

The three kinds of stores where you can find deals

This is the part that keeps you from getting 90% of bad deals.

1) official Stores (least risky)

Some examples are the Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG, Microsoft Store/Xbox app, EA app, and Ubisoft Connect.

You're getting it straight from the platform or publisher.

2) Authorised resellers (usually safe and often cheaper)

Some examples are Humble Store, Fanatical, Green Man Gaming, Gamesplanet, and a few others.

They usually sell real keys that they get from publishers and distributors.

3) Key sites on the grey market (most dangerous)

These are the markets that are "too cheap to be true." You should be careful about where you get your keys and what happens later, such as refunds, revokes, and support headaches, even if they work today. Look out for red flags like 'no publisher partnership' and 'suspiciously low prices,' which are common in these markets. These are the ones you should skip if you want to be safe and consistent.

Comparison of stores

Here's how the big names really differ when you want to save money.

Steam

Best for: big sales, a lot of different items, easy returns (when eligible), wishlists, and notifications

Discount Style: Big seasonal sales, publisher weekends, and themed events

Watch For: Price variations depending on location and currency, and difficulty distinguishing between "complete editions" such as the base game, bundles, and DLC packs.

Epic Games Store

Best for: aggressive sales, occasional coupons, and free games every week.

Discount Style: Big discounts on some titles, free offerings, and seasonal deals. A unique feature of the Epic Games Store is its $10 coupon strategy, which can be stacked with existing sale prices. For instance, during a sale, a game priced at $39.99 might be discounted to $29.99, and applying a coupon could further reduce it to $19.99, making it more competitive than Steam's percentage-based discounts.

Watch For: A smaller library in certain genres compared to Steam, and fewer features such as mods and community tools.

GOG

Best for: Owning DRM-free items, classic games, offline-installable files, and the "keep it forever" mindset.

Discount Style: Big sales on older popular games and a carefully curated selection.

Watch For: Inconsistent monthly deals and the need to confirm the key platform (Steam or others).

Fanatical

Best for: "build your own bundle, deals,flash-style discounts, and frequent bundles

Discount Style: Highly discounted bundles and recurring promotions.

Watch For: Similar to Humble, many transactions are keys (uncommonly for Steam), so double-check product pages.

Green Man Gaming

Best for: Substantial discounts on new releases occasionally, promotional codes, and authentication keys

Discount Style: Coupon-inclusive deals, publisher promotions, and a constant discount atmosphere.

Publisher stores and launchers, like the EA app, Ubisoft, Xbox/Microsoft, and others, are best for fans of franchises who buy into a single ecosystem. These platforms often offer loyalty perks that make the ecosystem lock-in worthwhile.

For example, users may gain access to early betas, which allows them to play and provide feedback on upcoming games before anyone else. Exclusive skins and items available only on these platforms can enhance the gaming experience and add a unique touch to gameplay.

Discount Style: Publisher sales, limited-time trials/free weekends, and member discounts. Watch for game attachments to the launcher, and while discounts might be appealing, you're committing to their ecosystem.

The "out of the box" truth: why the same game costs less in some places

A discount doesn't always mean "the store is being nice." Most of the time, it's one of these:

Promotions paid for by the publisher (the store wants attention, and the publisher wants volume)
Bundle economics (it's harder to give discounts on bundles because not everyone uses everything)
Value without DRM vs. value with a launcher (Usually, DRM-free costs more, but during sales, the price drops a lot.)
Prices and currencies vary by region (same game, different baseline)

Once you know that, you stop looking for random sales and start buying smartly.

The quickest way to always get the best deal

You can save money without making deal-hunting a hobby by following this simple plan. Which matters most to you? Price, ownership, or flexibility? Take a moment to decide before moving on to Step 1.

Step 1: Figure out what "best deal" means to you

Choose one priority:

Lowest price, no matter what
Ownership without DRM
Flexibility in refunds
Bundles and more value

Step 2: Look at the "big four" first

A quick sweep is all you need for most games:

Steam
Epic
GOG
One authorised reseller is Humble/Fanatical/GMG.

Step 3: Make sure you're comparing the same thing.

Before you say it's "cheaper," make sure:

Same version (Standard, Deluxe, or Complete)
Whether or not DLC is included
Same platform or key type (Steam key vs. another launcher)
Any notes about region locks
Any account or launcher needed

Step 4: Use a price tracker (optional, but it will save you a lot of time)

Use a trusted price comparison or tracker site to let you know when the items on your wishlist reach a certain price, if you don't want to check every store yourself. (You're not buying there; you're just using it to compare faster.) Consider well-known trackers like 'IsThereAnyDeal' or 'GG.deals' as a starting point to streamline your game shopping experience.

Best store choices based on "buyer type."

If you want to make one choice without thinking too much about it:

"I just want the biggest sales and the easiest buying," says Steam.
"I want cheap, and I'm open to deals and free stuff," says Epic Games Store.
"I want real ownership and no DRM": GOG
"I love bundles and value stacks": Humble or Crazy
"I want real keys with lots of coupons": Green Man Gaming

In conclusion

When comparing digital stores for PC game discounts, don't just look at the percentage off. Think about what you're actually getting (edition, DLC, DRM-free vs. key, launcher requirements) and who you're buying from (official store vs. authorized reseller vs. risky marketplace). Once you find a store that fits your buying style, you'll always pay less without any problems

Checklist for Smart Purchasing:

Check the edition and DLC included
Confirm platform or key type
Ensure the seller is reputable and authorized
Assess any region locks and account requirements.

Sign up for our email list, and we'll send you a weekly roundup of "PC Game Deals Worth Buying." These are real discounts from real sellers, along with quick notes on what makes a deal a good one.

Subscription Services That Offer Access to PC Game Libraries

noreply@blogger.com (John Paul Carrasco) — Sun, 09 Nov 2025 12:30:00 +0000

If you want access to a PC game library through a subscription, start with PC Game Pass for the widest variety, add EA Play Pro if you want EA’s newest PC releases, choose Ubisoft+ Premium if you mainly play Ubisoft franchises, and consider PlayStation Plus Premium (PC streaming) or Amazon Luna if you prefer cloud streaming instead of downloads.

The 3 types of “game library” subscriptions

This is the part most guides skip, and it’s why people end up subscribing to the wrong thing.

1) Download library (install games on your PC)

You download, install, and play like normal. Your internet matters less once the game is installed.

Best for: shooters, competitive games, offline play, modding (sometimes), and weak internet.

2) Cloud library (stream games, no big downloads)

You’re basically watching the game as a video stream while controlling it live.

Best for: trying lots of games fast, low-storage PCs, and “I don’t want downloads.”

3) Hybrid (downloadable + extras, or monthly games you keep)

Some subscriptions mix a small permanent library, monthly keep-forever games, and member perks.

Best for: building a collection while still getting a “library feel.”

Best subscriptions for most PC gamers

PC Game Pass

Think of this as the “default best pick” for PC because it’s broad: lots of genres, rotating library, and frequent additions.

What’s best for:

Variety (you don’t want to commit to one publisher)
Discovering new games you wouldn’t buy blindly
Playing a lot across different genres

What to watch out for:

Games rotate in and out (you don’t “own” them)
Some titles require specific accounts/launchers
Availability and catalog can vary by region

EA Play and EA Play Pro

If you play a lot of EA games (sports, shooters, RPG franchises), these are the cleanest “publisher library” subscriptions on PC.

Simple way to think about it:

EA Play = solid back-catalog access + member perks
EA Play Pro = the “bigger” PC option, usually aimed at newer/premium editions and earlier access for select releases

Best for:

People who buy multiple EA titles a year
Sports fans (especially if you rotate between titles)
Anyone who wants EA releases without paying full price each time

Ubisoft+ Premium vs Ubisoft+ Classics

Ubisoft+ is for players who live in Ubisoft franchises (Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, The Division-style ecosystem, etc.).

Compare PC game library subscriptions like PC Game Pass, EA Play/Pro, Ubisoft+, PS Plus streaming, and Amazon Luna—which each fits, perks, limits, and costs.
Slug: pc-game-library-subscriptions

Premium = the full “top tier” library approach (includes new releases sooner / broader access)
Classics = the cheaper “older hits” style library

Best for:

You mainly play Ubisoft games
You want one subscription that feeds that one ecosystem

Watch out:

Country/region availability can be a deal-breaker in some places, so always check if it’s supported in your region before planning around it

PlayStation Plus Premium (PC streaming)

This one is different: it’s primarily a cloud streaming catalog you can play on PC (controller required for gameplay in many cases).

Best for:

You want to try PlayStation catalog-style games on PC without owning a console
You don’t want installs (stream instead)
You’re okay with “stream quality depends on your internet.”

Watch out:

Not all regions support cloud streaming the same way
Streaming is more sensitive to latency than downloads

Amazon Luna (cloud library)

Luna is also cloud-first. You’re paying for access to a streaming library rather than downloading a big catalog.

Best for:

“I want to click and play immediately.”
Low storage PCs
Casual play sessions and quick testing

Watch out:

Limited country availability (it’s not “global”)
Cloud quality depends heavily on your internet stability

Humble Choice (hybrid: build a collection + extras)

Humble Choice isn’t a pure Netflix library in the same way. The big value is usually:

A monthly set of games (often redeemed as keys you keep)
Plus, a member perk library/app, depending on the current perk structure

Best for:

You want to own more games over time
You like monthly curated picks
You’re okay with “this month is great / this month is meh” variance

“Out of the box” decision framework: pick by how you play

Use this, and you’ll pick correctly fast.

If you want the most games for the least thinking

Choose: PC Game Pass

If you mainly play one publisher’s franchises

Choose:

EA-heavy gamer: EA Play Pro
Ubisoft-heavy gamer: Ubisoft+ Premium (or Classics if you only want older hits)

If you hate downloading big games

Choose: PlayStation Plus Premium (PC streaming) or Amazon Luna

If you want to build a permanent collection slowly

Choose: Humble Choice

How to choose without wasting money

Here’s the clean method that stops subscription stacking from getting stupid.

Step 1: Pick your “base”

Most people only need one base:

Variety base: PC Game Pass
Publisher base: EA Play Pro or Ubisoft+ Premium
Cloud base: PS Plus Premium PC streaming or Luna

Step 2: Add one “seasonal” sub (optional)

Subscribe for 1–2 months when:

A bunch of games you want to drop in that service
You’re on a binge of a specific franchise
There’s a promo/discount window

Step 3: Cancel aggressively

Subscriptions are only good while you’re actively using the library. If you’re not playing anything from it this month, cancel and re-activate later.

Conclusion

PC game library subscriptions aren’t all the same. Some are downloadable libraries, some are cloud catalogs, and some are hybrid “build-your-collection” models. If you start with one service that matches how you play (variety, publisher-focused, cloud-first, or ownership-building), you’ll get the benefits without paying for five subscriptions you barely use.

Where to Download Free Pc Game Demos

noreply@blogger.com (John Paul Carrasco) — Sun, 02 Nov 2025 12:30:00 +0000

The safest places to download free PC game demos are official storefronts (especially Steam), itch.io for indie demos, and GOG when a demo is offered—plus “free trial” pages in launchers like Xbox/PC app, EA app, Ubisoft Connect, or Epic when available. Avoid random “free download” sites; demos should come from a store page or the developer’s official page.

The safest places to download free PC demos

If your goal is free + safe, start here (in this order):

1) Steam (best all-around for demos)

Steam is the easiest place to find legit demos because many games publish a separate “Download Demo” option. You’ll also see large demo waves during seasonal events (more on that below).

2) Steam demo events (huge demo drops for a limited time)

Some demos are permanent, but a lot are time-limited during festivals. This is where you can try dozens of upcoming games in one weekend.

3) itch.io (best for indie, weird, experimental, and early builds)

If you like discovering hidden gems, itch.io is a goldmine. Many indie devs publish demos, prototypes, or short “vertical slice” builds here.

4) GOG (when you want DRM-free style releases)

Not every game has a demo on GOG, but when it does, it’s usually clean and straightforward.

5) “Free trial” pages in official launchers

Some publishers don’t call them demos. They’ll call them a trial, free weekend, playtest, or limited-time access. These are still legit, but the rules vary (time limit, content limit, or event window).

How to find demos fast on Steam

Do this when you want results in minutes:

Use a “demo-first” search habit

Search for the game title and look for a demo button on the store page.
If you’re browsing instead of searching, look for categories and collections that highlight demos.

Use festival weeks to grab the biggest demo list

During demo events, you can:

Browse by genre (rogue-like, FPS, cozy, strategy)
Filter by popularity or trending
Try a demo, uninstall, move to the next (fast testing cycle)

Treat demos like a shortlist, not a commitment

A good approach:

Install 3 demos
Give each 10–20 minutes
Keep 1, delete 2
This prevents “download fatigue.”

Where indie demos shine:

itch.io is perfect when you want demos that feel different from mainstream releases.

Best ways to use itch.io without getting lost

Browse by genre first (horror, platformer, RPG, puzzle)
Then narrow by demo/prototype style pages
Read the description carefully: some builds are short proof-of-concept (that’s normal)

What you’ll find here that you won’t find elsewhere

Small demos that are pure gameplay with no filler
Experimental mechanics
Early access-style slices that show the core idea fast

Demo vs trial vs playtest (they’re not the same)

This is where people get confused.

Demo

Usually, a separate download. Often a limited chunk of the game.

Trial

Usually time-limited (example: “play for 2 hours”) or feature-limited.

Playtest

Often requires sign-up or approval. Sometimes it’s only available during a specific test window.

If a store page says trial or playtest, it can still be legit—just expect rules.

Safety checklist: avoid fake demo installers

If you follow these, you’ll dodge most malware traps.

Stick to official sources

Download from an official store page or the developer’s official page.
Avoid “free download” sites that bundle installers.

Verify what you’re downloading

Does the publisher/developer name match what you expect?
Are there real user comments/reviews on the store page?
Does the file look normal for a demo (not a mystery “setup_loader_final.exe”)?

Don’t “fix” warnings by disabling security

If your browser or Windows warns you, don’t turn protection off just to force an install. Legit demos shouldn’t require you to weaken your system.

Build a simple “demo radar” (so you don’t miss good ones)

If you like trying lots of demos, this keeps it organized:

Create one folder + one habit

Make a note called: Demos To Try
Add games when you see them
Try them in batches (3 at a time)

Follow/wishlist the games you actually liked

This helps you:

Catch updates
Know when the full game launches
Avoid forgetting that great demo you played once

Conclusion

If you want free PC game demos without risk, your safest move is simple: use official storefronts first (Steam, itch.io, GOG), then use publisher launchers for “trials” and “playtests.” Keep a small demo shortlist, test in quick sessions, and don’t download random installers from “free game” sites. That’s how you try more games, waste less time, and stay safe.

How to Optimize PC Settings for Gaming Performance

noreply@blogger.com (John Paul Carrasco) — Sun, 26 Oct 2025 12:30:00 +0000

To optimize PC settings for gaming performance, enable Game Mode, set Windows power mode to Best performance, confirm your monitor refresh rate is set correctly, turn on Windowed Game Optimizations, and apply per-game GPU driver settings for power and latency. Then test one change at a time so you keep what helps and ditch what doesn’t.

Step 1: Lock in a baseline first (so you don’t “optimize” blindly)

Before you touch settings, get a quick baseline. You need a “before and after.”

Use one of these:

Your game’s built-in benchmark (best option).
A repeatable spot in-game (same map, same scene, same 60 seconds).
Xbox Game Bar for quick checks (Win + G) if you just want a simple overlay.

What to watch:

Stutter (those “micro-freezes”).
Big FPS dips (even if average FPS looks fine).
Input delay feel (mouse feels “floaty” or delayed).

This matters because your goal isn’t just higher FPS. It’s steadier frametimes (aka smoother feel).

Windows settings that actually help (and won’t break your PC)

Turn on Game Mode

Game Mode tells Windows to prioritize gaming workloads while you play.
Where: Settings → Gaming → Game Mode → On.

If you try it and performance feels worse, turn it off and move on. Some systems behave differently.

Set Power mode to Best performance (especially on laptops)

If you’re on a laptop, this is a big one. Windows power mode can limit CPU/GPU boost behavior.

Where: Settings → System → Power & battery → Power mode → Best performance.
If you care about battery life, you can switch back after gaming.

Stop heavy apps from running in the background

Background apps can steal CPU time and cause random frametime spikes.

You can block specific apps from running in the background:

Settings → Apps → Installed apps → (pick app) → Advanced options → Background app permissions → Never

Target the usual suspects: chat apps you don’t use while gaming, launchers you forget, “helper” apps, update tools.

Enable “Optimizations for windowed games” (Windows 11)

If you play borderless windowed a lot, this can help by improving how Windows handles windowed game presentation.

Where: Settings → System → Display → Graphics → Change default graphics settings → Optimizations for windowed games.
Restart the game after changing it.

Note: Turning on Auto HDR can automatically turn this on.

Confirm your monitor refresh rate is actually set right

This is the most common “I bought 144Hz, but it feels like 60Hz” problem.

Where: Settings → System → Display → Advanced display → Refresh rate.

Also, watch out for Dynamic Refresh Rate (DRR) on laptops. DRR can lower the refresh rate in some situations, and Microsoft notes you may need to disable it if a game runs at a lower refresh rate than expected.

GPU settings (do this per game, not globally)

Global tweaks are how people accidentally create new problems. Use per-game profiles whenever possible.

NVIDIA: 2 settings that matter most for performance stability

Power management mode (use per-game if needed)

If your GPU downclocks too aggressively, you can see low FPS or inconsistent performance.

NVIDIA’s own support notes, “Prefer maximum performance,e” can help in certain apps when throttling causes low FPS, and shows how to set it.

Best practice: set it only for the games that need it, not globally (it can raise idle power/heat).

Low Latency Mode (know what it does)

NVIDIA documents Low Latency Mode as limiting how many frames the CPU queues before the GPU processes them:

Off = more throughput
On = limit queued frames
Ultra = minimize queued frames further, NVIDIA

If you play competitive shooters and your GPU is often near max load, try On first. If you see stutter or weird pacing, back it off.

Also, check if your game supports NVIDIA Reflex. NVIDIA explains that Reflex helps reduce system latency without the usual big tradeoffs.

If Reflex is in-game, prefer that over forcing driver tricks.

AMD: quick settings that can improve “feel” and responsiveness

AMD’s own docs describe these features like this:

Radeon Anti-Lag reduces the lag between your input and what you see by adjusting frame timing.
Radeon Boost can improve performance in supported games by adjusting resolution dynamically based on input.
Radeon Chill regulates frame rate to reduce heat/power, which can help laptops stay consistent under long sessions.

Use these as tools, not “always-on” switches:

Competitive? Test Anti-Lag in that specific game.
Open-world or busy scenes? Boost might help if supported.
Laptop overheating? Chill can prevent the slow “performance fade” after 20–30 minutes.

The “out-of-the-box” part: why your game stutters even when FPS looks good

Most guides chase average FPS. Stutter usually comes from inconsistency, not raw speed.

Here are common stutter causes that settings can reduce:

Background apps waking up and stealing CPU time (fix: background permissions + power mode).
Windowed presentation overhead (fix: windowed game optimizations).
Refresh rate mismatch (fix: set the right refresh rate; watch DRR).
GPU clock behavior (fix: per-game “prefer maximum performance” when needed).

If you do nothing else, do the baseline, apply the Windows changes, then adjust GPU settings per game.

The fast checklist (what to change first)

Set the refresh rate correctly.
Power mode → Best performance.
Enable Game Mode.
Enable Optimizations for windowed games (if you play borderless).
Block heavy background apps.
NVIDIA/AMD: tune power + latency per game, not globally.

How to test changes without wasting hours

Rule: change one thing, then re-run the same baseline.

What you keep:

Less stutter in the same scene.
Higher 1% lows (it feels smoother).
More consistent input response.

What you revert:

Anything that adds a new hitching.
Anything that makes alt-tab, overlays, or windowed play worse.

A simple note in your phone like “Game Mode on, window optimizations on, NVIDIA low latency on” saves you later.

Conclusion

If your PC already has decent hardware, the fastest wins usually come from the boring stuff: correct refresh rate, Best performance power mode, background control, and the right Windows graphics toggles. After that, per-game GPU settings can clean up the remaining stutter and input lag. Do it in order, test changes one at a time, and you’ll end up with a setup that feels smooth—not just “high FPS.”

Want the short version you can follow in 5 minutes? Download our free “PC Gaming Settings Checklist” and keep it next to your setup (plus we’ll email you updates when Windows/NVIDIA/AMD settings change).

The Best Places to Buy PC Games Online (2025 Guide)

noreply@blogger.com (John Paul Carrasco) — Sun, 12 Oct 2025 12:31:00 +0000

Discover the ultimate guide to buying PC games online, where you'll find trusted platforms that offer the best prices, robust features, and a safer purchasing experience. This guide compares top options to help you make the smartest choice for your gaming needs and budget.

People who read this want to know where to buy PC games online, how to compare platforms, what the differences are (like prices and exclusives), and which platform is best. This article provides that information clearly and offers useful advice.

Things to Think About Before Buying PC Games Online

Before you get started, it's important to understand why making the right choice in where you purchase your PC games matters. In today's gaming world, selecting the wrong platform can lead to disappointment, wasted money, and frustration. Imagine investing in a game only to discover it's tied to a platform with limited support or lackluster features. This can hugely impact your gaming enjoyment and financial decisions. With this in mind, here are some key factors to consider:

Game Library: It's not just about how big it is or the variety it offers, but about the endless possibilities for discovery. Imagine having a limitless collection of diverse games at your fingertips, so you never run out of fresh worlds to explore and new experiences to enjoy. This sense of freedom and constant adventure keeps players returning for more.
Pricing and Sales: There are often deals or discounts throughout the year, such as the Steam Summer Sale, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday. (Steam's first-ever Black Friday sale has officially kicked off, and these discounts are sure to make your wallet cry, 2025) These periodic sales offer substantial discounts, letting you buy games at a fraction of their original price. (Steam sale dates: When is the next Steam sale?, 2025) Planning your purchases around these events can significantly maximize your savings.
DRM and ownership: Do you really "own" the game, or is it linked to a launcher? Imagine purchasing a highly anticipated game, cherishing it for years, only to find that one day it is no longer accessible because the platform has changed its DRM policies. The question of ownership becomes critical when you realize that your access to beloved titles may hang in the balance due to these technicalities. Understanding the DRM policy can safeguard not just your investment but also your digital gaming memories.
Social and community features include friend lists, achievements, and multiplayer.
Refund Policy: Important for protecting buyers.

The Best Places to Buy PC Games Online

1. Steam

Best for: The biggest library of games and community features

Steam is still the best place to buy PC games, with thousands of titles from AAA hits to indie gems. (More than 19,000 games launched on Steam this year—but almost half have fewer than 10 reviews, 2025) It has many community features, such as friends lists, user reviews, achievements, and workshop mods. One notable example of community creativity is the fan-made XCOM overhaul mod, which transformed the original gameplay and drew over 1 million downloads, highlighting Steam's vibrant modding community.

Important things

A huge catalogue of games across various genres
Sales that happen a lot during the summer, winter, and other seasons
Mods that work with Steam Workshop
Sharing with family and saving in the cloud

Things to think about

When prices are competitive, other stores can sometimes beat Steam's prices.
The Steam client enforces DRM.

2. Store for Epic Games

Best for: big exclusives and free games

Epic has quickly gained traction by giving away popular free games every week and securing timed exclusives on big games. (Epic Games Store 2022 Year in Review, 2022) This strategy not only attracts gamers but also enables Epic to offer developers a favorable revenue split, which can significantly benefit emerging studios by funding their next breakthrough project. (Epic Games Store Updates Revenue Share: Keep 100% of the First $1M Per Product, Per Year, 2025) Understanding this economic ripple adds an ethical layer to your purchasing decision, knowing that your support might help foster the next big hit in the gaming industry.

Key Points

Free games every week
The Epic Games Store offers a diverse range of titles, including both AAA blockbusters and indie gems. This variety ensures that players can find both major releases and unique, lesser-known titles that offer different gaming experiences.
A fair share of revenue for developers

Things to think about

Fewer books than Steam
Fewer community features

3. GOG (Good Old Games)

Best for: playing games without DRM

GOG is the best place to get DRM-free games. You can download installers and keep them without using a launcher.

Important Points

No DRM—no need to be online to play
Classic PC games that work better on modern systems
GOG Galaxy launcher is not required for updates or social media, but it offers added conveniences like library management and auto-updates that enhance your gaming experience. With features such as game organization, achievements, and integration with other platforms, GOG Galaxy makes it easier to monitor your game collection. It allows players to update games automatically, making it a hassle-free experience for those who prefer not to manage these tasks manually.

Things to think about

Less popular blockbuster titles
Sales happen less often than on Steam or Epic.

4. Xbox App / Microsoft Store

Best for: Xbox Game Pass games and games made by Microsoft

Microsoft's store connects PCs with the Xbox ecosystem. (Xbox PC App Now Aggregates Other Storefronts and their Games, 2025) For a monthly fee, Game Pass Ultimate gives you access to hundreds of games. (Xbox Game Pass Ultimate — Ultimate 1 Month, 2025) This subscription serves different playstyles: for the curious gamer who loves discovering new titles, Game Pass acts as a 'discovery engine' that constantly refreshes with exciting new possibilities. On the other hand, for the dedicated gamer looking to tackle a growing collection, it can serve as a 'backlog builder,' providing access to a wide range of options without the upfront cost.

Key Points

Xbox Game Pass for PC is a great deal.

First-party games come out on day one.

Cloud saves and support for cross-play

Thoughts

The store interface is not as popular with PC gamers.
Some games still use launchers from other companies.

5. Store of Humble

Best for: helping charities and getting deals on bundles

Humble has a store and regular bundles where you can pay what you want for a selection of games, often with money going to charity. (Humble Bundle Has Raised $1 Million For Charity Through Humble Store, 2014)

Main Points

Some of the money goes to charity.
Humble Choice subscription adds new titles every month.
Gives out Steam and GOG keys a lot

Things to think about

Not as big as Steam/Epic when it comes to big AAA games.

6. Gaming with Green Man

Best for: Game codes that are on sale

Green Man Gaming sells official game keys at prices that are often lower than those of big stores. You can use these to get games on launchers like Steam or Ubisoft Connect. They have established strong partnerships with publishers, ensuring the legitimacy of their keys. Additionally, Green Man Gaming provides customer guarantees to further assure buyers of the safety and authenticity of their purchases.

Important Points

Regular codes for discounts
Great deals during sales

Things to think about

You have to use keys somewhere else.
Not a launcher, more like a seller

Tips for Getting the Best Deals

Think of seasonal sales as a rewarding patience challenge. Are you up for the test? Picture this: Can you hold off just 30 days to save up to 60% on your favorite titles? (Final hours of Blizzard's Halloween sale offer big discounts on top titles - four games are up to 60% off - here's what's included, 2025) Embrace the thrill of the wait during summer, fall, Black Friday, and winter sales, and watch those big discounts make your anticipation worthwhile.
Use price trackers like IsThereAnyDeal and other tools to compare prices across different stores.
Check the prices in your area, as regional pricing can offer significant savings. How does it work? Many online stores adjust prices based on your location, taking into account local economic conditions and competition. (Arc Raiders lowers its price in some regions to ensure a fair price point for all, 2025) This means you find games cheaper in some areas compared to others. However, it's important to be aware of any risks involved. For instance, using a VPN to access different regional prices can sometimes violate a platform's terms of service, potentially leading to account restrictions. (Can you use a VPN to get cheaper Steam games?, 2025) Always make sure to understand the terms and weigh the benefits before making such a decision.

How to Pick the Right Platform for You

Steam is the best choice if you want a community and a huge library.
Epic Games Store is the place to go if you like free stuff and exclusives.
GOG is the place to go if DRM bothers you.
Microsoft Store (Game Pass) is the best place to get subscription value.
Humble Store has deals and helps charities.
Green Man Gaming has the best prices on codes.

Conclusion

There isn't one "best" platform for everyone. The best choice depends on what matters most to you, like price, DRM, community features, or subscription access. Most gamers use more than one platform to get the best of all worlds.

For instance, if you're a deal-hunter, platforms like Steam, with its seasonal sales, and the Epic Games Store, which offers free games, might suit you best. Collectors who value owning DRM-free titles may lean towards GOG. Social players might prefer Steam for its community features. By understanding what each marketplace excels at, you can save money and enhance your gaming experience.

Mafia Wars - Energy vs. Attack/Defense

noreply@blogger.com (John Paul Carrasco) — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 12:49:00 +0000

I’m the impatient type, so I quickly tired of waiting for regeneration of Energy. How to solve it? Do the Godfather deals, or even buy some points. About 200 extra is what I needed, somewhere around Hitman, to be able to level continuously without running out of Energy, after having put most of my points into Energy already. Your equipment is a bigger factor in fights at low levels. That changes as you go up, primarily because other players have a lot of skill points in Atk/Def, but also because the combat calculations make it so. By the time you reach very high levels of Atk/Def points, equipment represents only 5-10% of your strength, if that. But you can put those points in later.

The tough work is mastering all the levels, especially Underboss and Boss. You will need LOTS
of Energy to do so. 3rd level Mastery of one job on those two levels takes 100 clicks, as each
job done only gives you 1% toward mastery. And some of those jobs require items like
Blackmail Photos, which in turn require Concealed Cameras… you get the picture. It won’t just
be 100 clicks, but probably 400-500 to master one job at level 3 by the time you get enough of
the items necessary.

Combat calculations

noreply@blogger.com (John Paul Carrasco) — Mon, 23 May 2011 09:34:00 +0000

There’s an excellent thread here: http://mafia-wars.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=216, started by someone who has determined the basic formula used in fights. He also has a “combat calculator” online that will tell you how your equipment and stats compare to average for your level (http://www.mafia-wars.info/index.php). MW does NOT in my opinion calculate fights the way I would expect. For instance, the equipment chosen when you attack is also the same used for defense in that same fight, and the ATK and DEF values of each item are simply added, rather than your best defense weapons being used for the defense side of the equation. That means… an AR-15 is *worse* to have than a Midas Knife, because the total ATK+DEF is lower. total value.

Also, your Attack and Defense skill points are simply added together and that total used in
calculating your strength, whether you are attacking or defending. While someday it may make
a difference, today putting points in either one has the same effect.

Banking Money

noreply@blogger.com (John Paul Carrasco) — Sun, 15 May 2011 05:55:00 +0000

As a LVL 370 player, I can say you should stop banking money as soon as the amount you lose is less than the bank’s charge. If you are losing $1 million per day from attacks, and you earn $10 million+, then don’t bank the money. Simple economics. The fact is, this point is reached pretty quickly. If your property is earning $1mil+ per hour, and you are doing jobs or robberies, you are past the point of paying the bank charges–or you are losing too many fights and/or staying on the hitlist too much ;) On lower levels, spend your stamina, but focus on doing jobs and adding to your skill points. As a comparison, I have $88 billion in cash right now, my property earns $100 million+ per hour, and I am over 1,000 Mafia Mike’s behind in buying because I simply don’t have time and don’t care. Jobs on Boss level pay $20-30 million per click…

Add Members to Your Mafia

noreply@blogger.com (John Paul Carrasco) — Wed, 11 May 2011 09:40:00 +0000

In the beginning, you can invite your friends to be members in your mafia. A small handful will join your mafia but that is not enough. You need a large mafia if you expect to be in any condition to attack larger mafias later on in the game. So, you need to look elsewhere for members, especially strong members because they will help you a lot in fights.

You can find members on countless groups, on and off of Facebook, dedicated to mafia wars. I know what you’re thinking, that you do not want strangers to be on your friends list. This is a legitimate concern but, one trick is that, once they become your friend and join your mafia, you can delete them from your friends list. They will remain a member of your...

When I went to invite a lot of members to my mafia, I posted a comment on the front page of each group. I asked for people to join my mafia and a lot of them did. The comments will accumulate fast on each group and your comment will be quickly pushed to another page, where it will not be seen as much, so you want to post a comment occasionally for new members to see and join your mafia. Do not overdo it or you will be labeled a troll or spammer and most likely booted from the group. You can also add members, who are requesting mafia members, to your friends list.

Once they are on your friends list or you are on their list, either one of you can send an invite to the other to join each other’s mafia. If either of you run out of invites for the day, keep them as friends and invite them another day.

After they are on your mafia list, you can delete them as a friend. One complication with this is keeping track of who is friend and who is just there for the game. What I did was label purely mafia people as mafia and then, after adding them to my friends list and mafia, I could open up the friends list to the label for mafia members and quickly delete them. If you are planning on adding a lot of real friends to your friends list, it’s probably best to hold off on mass inviting purely mafia members to your friends list for a few days or everyone will get mixed together quickly and it will take a lot of work to delete those people that are not your friends.

Getting Attacked!

noreply@blogger.com (John Paul Carrasco) — Sat, 07 May 2011 06:32:00 +0000

Other members can attack you even when you are not logged in to the game. This is to be expected. But, for revenge or another reason, some members will target you because they see you as weaker or richer. This is not usually a problem when the other member is almost even with use strength-wise. It becomes a major problem when the other member, while being at nearly the same level, has more money, weapons or a lot of strong members in their mafia. They can attack you at will, as much as they want.

I had one such member attack me last week. He robbed my properties dozens and dozens of times. I lost about $60 million preparing and protecting my casinos because he kept attacking and attacking.

What can you do when a member keeps attacking and robbing you? You can wait for them to get bored with you or you can be pro-active. There are two ways that I found to combat the situation. The first is to add the member to the hit list with a sizable bounty and hope that a really stronger member attacks your enemy. However, if this does not work and you keep getting attacked, the last resort is to sell off your properties, especially the big ones, and wait a few days for your enemy to get bored with you and move on. You can always buy your properties again; it is just a minor setback.

When you get stronger and gain more members, you can always go back and enact revenge on the person that repeatedly attacked you. Copy and save the link location to this member for future use. At least, that is what I would do but, I am a very vengeful person!

Leveling Up

noreply@blogger.com (John Paul Carrasco) — Wed, 04 May 2011 11:50:00 +0000

Leveling up is always fun because it brings you full health, energy, stamina and profile points but, you should use careful planning before leveling up. Always keep note of how close you are to leveling up. Once you get within, like 50 experience points away from leveling up, you should use strategy to reap the most benefits of the next level. As soon as you level up, all of your attribute levels will be replenished, so it is a good idea to get your attribute levels, especially the energy, as low as possible before leveling up because, by using them up first, you are, in essence, getting twice as much done due to the fact that the levels will be replenished as soon as you level up.

If you have a lot of energy left before leveling up, take a few big jobs with a lot of experience points because they will use your energy quickly while bringing you a lot of experience points. Watch how close you are to leveling up, so that you don’t use a small amount of energy to bring you a little amount of experience points but enough to level up. You do not want to level up with a job that only earns you enough experience points to level up, while leaving you with a lot of energy that is wasted because your energy will only be refilled enough to fill it to the maximum.

Before leveling up, I try to get as many jobs and fights done as possible. This way, I use up all of the health, energy and stamina that I have and then level up to do it all over again. It is like getting twice as much done.

Energy Pack

noreply@blogger.com (John Paul Carrasco) — Sun, 01 May 2011 05:42:00 +0000

When a member of your mafia sends you an energy pack, do not immediately use it. Look at your current energy level to see where it is at at the moment. If it is low, like around 10 or less, you should use the energy pack right away before your energy refills again. If your energy level is high, like above 10, 20 or higher, do a few jobs to use up your energy until it is below 10 or less, before using the energy pack. Why do this? Simple. As soon as you use an energy pack, your energy will be boosted to its maximum +25%, no matter the energy level before using it. By using up your current energy and then using your energy pack, you will get twice as many jobs done. If your current energy level is, say 50, and you use an
energy pack, that is 50 points wasted.

Be courteous with your energy packs. When a member sends you an energy pack, you should use it and then send everyone an energy pack. Even if no one sent you an energy pack, you should send them to your members and some of them may send you an energy pack back in return.

Properties, Mafia Wars Tip

noreply@blogger.com (John Paul Carrasco) — Sat, 30 Apr 2011 03:28:00 +0000

In the first 10 or so levels, don’t think too big with properties. You should focus on Mafia Mike’s, Rent Houses, and Italian Restaurants. Mafia Mike’s should be your focus in the beginning because they earn the most at a relatively low price. Note that Mafia Mike’s

requires a certain number of mafia members to buy more than one. After the first one, eac consecutive one requires two more members. I have 24 members and 9 Mafia Mike’s, so it earns me $108,000 each hour.

Once you get past level 10 and earning a few hundred thousand dollars an hour, then you can start buying bigger properties, such as the Apartment Complex and Valu-Mart. When you start earning close to $1 million an hour, then you can start taking on the bigger properties, such as the Marina Tourist Shops.

Finally, when you start earning over $1 million an hour, that you can start saving up for the biggest properties, such as the Office Building, 5-Star Hotel, and Mega Casino.

One piece of advice, if you want to save money buying properties, is that if you buy them in One concern to think about is that your properties will be attacked, so you will need to buy protection. If it is attacked and the health goes down below 100%, it will start earning less and less money each hour. I try to keep all my property at 120% health. In the game’s latest update, the exact level of protection can no longer be seen; you can only see the shields and whether or not your properties are at 100% or lower. I am not sure if this feature will be changed back to the way it was but, I preferred it the way it was previously.

Use Your Profile Points as Soon as Possible

noreply@blogger.com (John Paul Carrasco) — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 06:28:00 +0000

As soon as you master a job or level up and earn profile points, use them to increase your strength of attack and defense, which will help you immediately in fights. The more fights you win, the faster you will earn experience points and level up. Round and round it goes like a circle. Sometimes I level up so fast, I feel like I am flying!

Keep a Zero Cash Balance

noreply@blogger.com (John Paul Carrasco) — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 01:25:00 +0000

Before going into fights, always be sure to deposit all of your cash into the bank. Other players can attack you at any time, so it is a good idea to keep a zero cash balance most of the time and especially before signing off. If you don’t, other players will fight and rob you.Depositing money does incur a 10% laundering fee but is very little in the scheme of things.

Fight Often

noreply@blogger.com (John Paul Carrasco) — Mon, 25 Apr 2011 04:45:00 +0000

Before going into fights, research your opponent before pressing the attack button. Just do a quick run through to see how powerful the player is...

First, look at the size of the player’s mafia. I always tried to attack players with nearly the same size or smaller mafia as I have because more members means more weapons that will be used against you.

Second, look at the number of jobs, which will give you a sense of the player’s experience and how his profile points are distributed -the higher the number, the higher the probability that their attack and defense is strong. I usually attack players with about the same amount of jobs completed or lower.

Third, look at the number of wins and losses that your prospective opponents have. A higher loss to win ratio offers you a better chance of defeating them.

Fourth, quickly browse through the player’s weapons arsenal. If you see that they have much stronger weapons than you or a large quantity of stronger weapons, it is best not to attack them.

Fifth, look at the player’s properties to get an idea of how much money they possess and how much they can be robbed. Gaining money from attacks is good but not always necessary. Winning attacks earns you experience points at a fairly steady pace without wasting any energy. Often times, I will earn a few hundred thousand dollars off of an opponent and then keep earning experience points after they are broke.Once you find a good candidate to attack, test them out with an attack. If you lose the first
fight, move on to another player to attack. If you win the first attack, take advantage of it and repeatedly attacked them until you are out of stamina or you lose a fight. It’s unrealistic but,
mafia wars lets me win repeated attacks on a player and then suddenly gives me a loss...

If you keep winning attacks against a player and you run out of health points, keep the attack window open until you earn more health points. I usually open a new window or tab to the game where I can restore my health and deposit money or do jobs without interfering with the player that I want to keep attacking. Once you earn enough stamina or restore your health, go back to attacking the player until you lose. One other thing I learned about the health points is that you can pay the doctor to restore your health with the money that is in your bank account, so there’s no need to keep money at all in the cash box.

Create an attack list of those members that you have attacked and beaten. This way you can go back and attack them again in the future, knowing that they are probably beatable again to you. Using Mafia wars, you can’t just keep track of them or look them up later, at least not to my knowledge. Instead, right click on the name of the member and copy the link location. When you’re ready to attack again, simply paste the link location to the member’s profile into the navigation bar of your browser.

One warning, though, is that there’s always the chance of the members, we have attacked repeatedly, will seek revenge at some point. Either they will grow stronger and attack you later or they can put a hit out on you using the hit list and get other stronger members to take you out. You need to weigh the factors involved and, whatever you do, try not to get a really, really stronger member mad at you!

Max Weapons in 15 Min

NOTE: Hunter in Party Needed I figured out the BEST way to max out ALL weapon exp not just ranged like in all the other guides it is EXTREMELY EASY but requires that you have a hunter friend with you (any level hunter) Ok now you have your hunter go to the coast and Tame a crab (not sure if it works with other animals but it forsure works with crab) then you have him dismiss the pet, the pet will jsut sit there while you wail on it and ALL of your attacks will miss but unlike the other guides here that tell you about getting weapon exp by having attacks miss mine works for MELEE also which is awesome! I got my hunter maxed on every weapon within 15 minutes (the crabs dissapear after like 8 minutes so you have to tame them and dismiss again.

Maximum Range Tip

Here's a little strategy most overlook in the game. If you are a hunter or other profession with "ranged" attacks, which you typically call from your hotbar, their individual numbers will turn grey when the target is currently "in range", otherwise they will be red. This is extremely helpful for new hunters who are trying to figure out the maximum range for their characters!

Resident Evil 6 a remake or a continuation?

noreply@blogger.com (John Paul Carrasco) — Sat, 09 Apr 2011 02:41:00 +0000

First Console that ever been lunch that has a timeless lifespan since the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) is well ofcourse, none other than the PlayStation Console and one of the Few latest games are Resident Evil 2 and that is the Dawn of gaming Fanatics and addicts, well, for those gaming fanatics and ofcourse, addicts, i suppose that 99% of them already played Resident Evil 2 and it was so amazing, first ever horror thriller Game that became mainstream and Been loved by Majority...

Surely,RE2 was and always be the best game of all time and that's why many had become RE followers, waiting for the sequel, waiting for the Gaming store to open, just to be the first to purchase the game and hurry up home for a nice relaxing massive hours of resident playing, it’s success was remarkable, put it in other console them people will buy that console just for the sole purpose of playing it, put it on psp,Pc and now a really good decision for Wii.

But the question is, would RE fanatics be happy for this one? As we all know, Gaming addicts would played a game they really like even more than 10x and with this RE6 preview, many are statin' that they could see that this RE6 is just a remake of Resident Evil 2,It's just and improvement in Graphics, are you certain that's it's more to meets the eye?Sure,a more percentage of Final Fantasy Fanatics would love to play it again in PS3 because we can clearly see the comparison in Graphic’s from PS1 to PS3,but RE2 on PS1 has a good graphics already...

i think, remake it or clone it 100% with some improve Graphics, Resident evil Fanatics would still play it or just a case they try to see what more it could offer...

If you have some feedback about this, please, feel free to post it in the comment section (unless you’re a Zombie or bot ^_^)
