Here’s an excerpt from my CNET Asia blog post.
For some reason, this Flash fighting game called My Brute has become an online craze. I’m not sure why it suddenly became popular yesterday, but Plurk users here in the Philippines started posting links to the Brutes they had created.
It’s a simple game that can easily get you hooked. You create a fighter, called a Brute, to fight other Brutes. When you challenge other players, you don’t even have to do anything once the fight starts. Matches are automatically resolved based on your Brute’s stats and weapons. The game is viral because if you recruit people to become your pupils, you earn experience points per new recruit and whenever your pupil gains a level. Sounds like MLM or a pyramid scheme, huh?
