| My Tribe Cheats & Tips: Complete trophy list Posted: 22 Apr 2010 11:00 PM PDT  My Tribe has just released trophies, which are achievements that you can earn by partaking in particular activities in the game. These are always fun, because they give players something extra to strive for when they're not concentrating on leveling up their villagers and farming. Here at the Games.com blog, we have everything you need to know about these achievements. Read on for the full list of trophies and objectives in My Tribe.Dustbunny - Collect 5 Stardust Crate Collector - Open 10 crates Socialite - Visit friends a total of 20 times Good Host - Have your island visited 100 times by friends Mystery Magnate - Solve 2 mysterious objects Growing Tribe - Increase your tribe's population to 10 Expert Skills - Have a tribe member reach level 10 in any skill Pooper Scooper - Collect 20 bird guano Dressed to the Nines - Dress a tribesperson with a rare top and a rare bottom Centenarian - Keep a tribesperson alive until they are 500 years old Top of the Line - Have fully upgraded Wood, Rock, and Food storehouses, and a fully upgraded science station, all at the same time Proud Parent - Have one of your tribeswomen give birth to 5 or more children Eldest Elder - Produce a level 7 tribal elder Traveler - Build an ark and sail to a new island Dyed in the Cloth - Craft 100 dyes in total Jewelry - Have a tribesperson wear four gems at once (top, bottom, hat, shoes) Feather in Cap - Collect 20 stork feathers in a single play session Green Thumb - Harvest 1000 farms Poop Disturber - Click on 100 sea gulls Mystery Mastermind - Solve 4 mysterious objects Powerful Tribe - Increase your tribe's population to 20 Masterful Skills - Have a tribemember reach level 20 in any skill Guru Skills - Have a tribe member reach level 30 in any skill Geologist - Find 100 golden relics Moonstruck - Collect 200 moondust No Farm Harm - Harvest 100 crops in a row, with no wilted crops Unparalleled Skills - Have a tribe member reach level 100 in any skill Collector's Items - Collect 30 rare items from crates Mycologist - Collect 1000 mushrooms Shell Shocked - Collect 10,000 shells Very Berry - Harvest 500 berries Master of Mystery - Solve 8 mysterious objects Tremendous Tribe - Increase your tribe's population to 30 Johnny Appleseed - Plant 1000 trees Dressed to the Tens - Dress a tribesperson with a legendary top and a legendary bottom World Traveler - Have your tribe sail to 20 different islands Craftastic - Craft 1000 different items Power Player - Reach player level 50 Methuselah - Keep a tribesperson alive until they are 969 years old Nobel Prize - Research 25 different technologies Superhero - Have one tribe member reach 100 in both Physical Strength and Mental Strength So there you have it.

Are you working on My Tribe trophies? What is the hardest one you have achieved?

| Fish Isle sales promotion and new tropical items Posted: 22 Apr 2010 10:24 PM PDT  Fish Isle is an interesting take on the whole farming and island theme. It's not a farm game because you aren't actually tending crops. It's not an aquarium game like FishVille where you see your beautiful fish swimming around. It's not a tycoon island game like Tiki Resort. It's actually a "fish farming" game, in which you place fish eggs in nets off the shore of your own island and raise and sell the fish when they're harvestable. When you first log in, you'll find the aesthetics very familiar, since most of the interface, layout, and menus are borrowed heavily from FarmVille.Fish Isle has released a whole set of new tropical and tiki items. Here is the full list of new items: Female Tiki Totem - 4 Fish Cash Tiki Bar Statue - 6 Fish Cash Hanging Lanterns - 4000 coins Island Juice Bar - 10000 coins Mini Waterfall - 15000 coins Tiki Bar - 15000 coins Round Sand Castle - 7000 coins Large Ocean Hut - 9 Fish Cash Simple Deck (straight) - 2000 coins Simple Deck (bend) - 2000 coins Straw Umbrella - 2000 coins Stone Fire Pit - 4 Fish Cash Sand Castle - 4000 coins In addition to releasing these new items, Fish Isle is currently running a promotion on Fish Cash. Right now you can get 25 Cash for just $1.00. Typically, 25 Fish Cash costs $5.00, so this is a great deal if you were planning on buying Fish Cash anytime soon. This deal is only available once per player, and only for a limited time. The promotion ends on Thursday, April 29th.

| Happy Island releases new buildings Posted: 22 Apr 2010 10:00 PM PDT  Happy Island has just released a new set of five new buildings! These buildings do not seem to follow any particular theme as they are quite varied in use and style. It is unclear if these are available permanently or for a limited time. Here is the set of new items that were released!Noodle Stand - Level 13, 6400 coins, Collects: 650 Space Pirates Set - 65 Facebook Credits, Collects: 1600 Sustainable Shelter - 55 Facebook Credits, Collects: 2000 French Bistro - Level 21, 85,000 coins, Collects: 2200 Island Grill - Level 23, 97,000 coins, Collects 2250 As you can see, some of the items are priced very high. The Island Grill is quite neat looking, but I'm not sure I'll ever have quite that much in coins! The French Bistro is a very elegant building, and the Sustainable Shelter fits in nicely with the Earth Day theme. Which of these new buildings will YOU buy?

| Sorority Life debuts Earth Day Dress as a free gift Posted: 22 Apr 2010 08:00 PM PDT  Sorority Life has an Earth Day present for all of its sisters, and it comes in the form of a new floral print dress. This dress is short, summery and chic, and is now available on the gift page to send to friends. We're assuming the Earth Day reference comes in the form of the bright colored flowers all over it, but we think it's a great time to start putting on the cute strappy heels and enjoy the lovely weather.This floral smock is not available to purchase, but we suspect it will be a popular gift to send while it still is available. Like most Earth Day items, don't expect this one to last long! If you miss it, there's always a chance it will show up in the Vintage Boutique in the future, but you don't want to take your chances.

| Tiki Resort gives out free Earth Day Charm Posted: 22 Apr 2010 03:00 PM PDT  At Games.com, we told you yesterday about the limited time Earth Day Charm in Tiki Resort. Previously, it was available to send as a gift to friends or you could buy one from the Tiki Resort Shop for 12 Facebook Credits. Today, Tiki Resort is giving away one free to everyone who clicks on this link.Once you click the link, you will load into Tiki Resort. Check your gift box for the Earth Day Charm, click on it, and then click your volcano to activate the charm. When it activates, one random tree will grow on your island.

| Get your free FishVille tree for Earth Day Posted: 22 Apr 2010 02:00 PM PDT  Did you think that FishVille was too preoccupied with its Fanta-Sea collection to celebrate Earth Day? Well, you thought wrong. Not to be outdone by all of the other games, FishVille has just given all of their fans a free Earth Day tree. It's just a simple tree, but we think it looks pretty snappy against the new Fanta-Sea environments. Maybe this was a last minute addition to the game?To claim your free FishVille underwater tree decoration, simply click on this link. You will end up loading a page congratulating you for your new tree. It will then show up in your gift box, and is called a "Springtime Tree". The tree will sell for 2500 coins, so even if you don't have room for it you should still claim it to make a little profit! Did you claim your free Earth Day tree? Log in to FishVille now!

| New program will let you convert reward points into in-game items Posted: 22 Apr 2010 11:00 AM PDT  Yesterday's launch of the f8 Facebook Developers conference was full of a lot of talk about social graphs and APIs and HTML code and other stuff that's not really of much interest to the average social gamer. But there was one announcement from the first day of the conference that caught our eye -- a new program called App2User that could bring new options for buying in-game items in many popular Facebook games.Inside Facebook explains that the program will allow companies to offer Facebook credits in exchange for their proprietary reward points -- the kind you get from using certain credit cards, store loyalty cards, frequent flier programs, and the like. Facebook Credits can already be used to purchase items in games like Happy Island, Tiki Resort, Hotel City, as well as Zynga's ultra-popular games. Facebook is currently soliciting App2User applications from interested companies that offer reward points, and is said to be "open to working with a variety of different partners." Trading one pseudo-currency for another may seem a bit silly to some people -- especially when those rewards points can often be traded for gift cards or cold hard cash -- but for Facebook gamers who spend a lot of money on in-game items, this could be a great way to help reduce the "virtual items" line in your personal budget.

| MySpace not interested in buying social games companies Posted: 22 Apr 2010 08:45 AM PDT  While parent company News Corp. may be busy acquiring social gaming company Irata Labs, MySpace Co-president Jason Hirschhorn says his social network isn't interested in following their lead.In a recent interview with Business Insider, Hirschhorn is paraphrased as saying the company won't be purchasing any social games studios for themselves. "We're a platform," he said by way of concise explanation. In the interview, Hirschhorn also said MySpace's is working on a unified payment/currency platform which could simplify monetization for app developers. Despite a registered user base of over 120 million users, MySpace has been struggling to turn around its reputation as an also-ran in light of Facebook's tremendous growth. But Hirschhorn seemed optimistic that the company can still around. "It hasn't happened on the Internet," he said, "[but] there's always a first."

The store will open and take you straight to the Earth Day pets. All three animals cost 68 Facebook Credits (sorry folks, no coins this time).

| FarmVille Chocolate Cow spotted on a farm Posted: 22 Apr 2010 08:05 AM PDT FarmVille Freak Devos spotted a Chocolate Cow in the wild, and on a neighbor's farm! If you remember, the Chocolate Cow was an unreleased item that surfaced around the time of Easter (March 31st) and was never officially released. However, this is not the first sighting of one on an actual farm, FarmVille Freak Pookie spotted one on April 1st. We have confirmed this sighting for ourselves, and FVFreak moderator and blogger Cabbage Patch Kid visited the Level 26 farmer's farm herself and captured the following screen shot. It is not photo-shopped or altered.  Do you have a Chocolate Cow, if so how did you get it? This article was reprinted with permission from FarmVille Freak.

| Posted: 22 Apr 2010 08:00 AM PDT  Our game Mahjongg Dimensions launched on Facebook in January 2010, currently has 1.3 million monthly active users (MAU) and is adding 30 thousand new players per day. This may sound like a pittance compared to games like Farmville (and it is) but it's still dramatic growth. To compare, a game website I've had online for seven years, and put an equally small amount of marketing dollars behind, has 400,000 unique visitors per month. So with Facebook, one game was able to achieve in two months what a website with 100 games couldn't do in seven years. A stat like that makes it easy for anyone to become a believer. Granted not all games and all apps will succeed on Facebook, as evidenced by the thousands that languor with 500 MAU or less. But for those who take the time to create something unique, fun, and viral there is no better platform to be a part of right now. Marketers who until now have only dipped their toes in the water are (rightly) jumping in head first." -Arkadium President and Co-Founder Jessica Rovello explains how Facebook's unrivaled viral marketing power won her over.
