Terrifying Organization

Mafia-themed Browser Games

: BBGsite Editor:; What does the word "Mafia" remind you of? Bloodshed, violence or mysteries? Though the Mafia represents a criminal organization, it is always a hot subject for movies, TV plays, literary works and games. A grey hat, a trim suit, glum eyes… All these help the Mafia make a deep impression. Today, let’s raise the mysterious veil of this terrifying organization – the Mafia!; share:

1. Origin of the Mafia: The Mafia took its rise in Sicily, Italy. In the Sicilian dialect, "Mafia" means valiant, arrogant, perfect, outstanding, and greedy of powers etc., but in the modern language, it is a dreadful word that accounts to violence, bloodshed and evil, and stands for supreme power and mysteries. Anyway, what is certain is that the Mafia didn’t originate from an organization simply, but was derived from farmers’ rebellion against the cruel oppression in the feudal age. With the migration of Sicilians and South Italians, the Mafia started to set foot in America and Australia. Now, the Mafia exists in various parts of the world, including Asia and Europe.

2. Mafia-themed Movies/Animations/Literary Works: Speaking of Mafia-themed movies, TV plays and literary works, the most representative work should be The Godfather which endows the Mafia a great virtual history. In the movie, Marlon Brando perfectly interpreted the role of the Mafia leader. With the popularization of literary work, movies and TV plays, the Mafia wins people’s hearts gradually. Apart from tons of classical Mafia-themed movies, the animations themed by the Mafia also spring up without stop, like Hitman Reborn, Black Lagoon and Phantom.

3. Mafia-themed Games: Many game companies are naturally attracted by the sought-after Mafia theme, as games can best satisfy people’s desire to experience the Mafia’s breathtaking life. In Mafia-themed games, players are able to act as members or foes of the Mafia and enjoy unexpected fun. Such Mafia-themed browser games as Mafia Wars and Mafia MoFo are all favored by players very much.

4. Advantages& Disadvantages of Mafia-themed Games: Though the browser games themed by the Mafia can give players stimulating experiences, lots of players still complain that such games are unfit for minors. After all, Mafia-themed games are a "culture of violence" in a sense, and may lead those capable of violence or the good to do something evil. If immersed in such games for long, players are bound to get accustomed to bloodshed and violence. In that case, virtual violence is very likely to grow to real violence!
So, how can we keep away from the possibility? It requires players and game companies to make a concerted effort actually! It’s believed that as long as game companies strictly supervise their game content and players get free of illegal deeds and harmful games voluntarily, "Mafia" will serve as a hot theme for games.
