I like Facebook to connect with friends, but I don't like the way their favorite games spam me.
They just keep giving me Mafia Wars updates!
Is there any way to block a friend's Mafia Wars update? Or any other Facebook game for that matter.

Options:
1) Go into settings and do not allow the game to publish updates to your wall.
2) Tell all your friends that they can click the "Block" button next to any one of your posts and choose to block that application.
It's surprising how few people know about the second one.
You can change these under your privacy settings.
On your Privacy Settings page, select Custom as your plan and then "Customize Settings".
Click Posts by me under Things I share and select Customize.
From this screen you will be able to blacklist specific people from viewing your status updates and posts.

Best Answer
You can open the game at http://apps.facebook.com/inthemafia/. Find the "Block Application" link and follow the instructions. Further updates from Mafia Wars will not be seen on your account. If you're interested in just blocking a particular user's updates, you can block the person by visiting their profile and doing the same thing on that page, however you will effectively be blocking ALL of their updates and not just their Mafia Wars updates.
