FarmVille releases more Southwestern themed items

Posted:

It's another day, so of course that means another update in FarmVille chock full of new items. It seems that not a day goes by where they're not adding on to their already massive Southwestern theme. This release has some fun items, including two new large buildings, wagon, and an adorable little Bobcat for adoption. While your farm might not have room for all of these new items, you may have to sell or store some things to make room. Here is the list of new Southwestern items that were released in FarmVille late tonight:

Adobe Arch - 3,500 coins
Ball Cactus - 1,500 coins
Hacienda - 46 Farm Cash
Turquoise Gallery - 46 Farm Cash
Grand Wagon - 8.800 coins
Campfire - 6,000 coins
Adobe Gateway - 3,700 coins
Bobcat - 22 Farm Cash

It's a regular Oregon Trail in FarmVille, complete with the wagon, the fire to roast food, and the trusty bobcat companion? Well, it might look cute but it's no domestic housecat! The Bobcat, Hacienda, and Turquoise Gallery are also available to send to your friends as a gift. All of these items have 23 days left on them before they will be leaving the FarmVille market.

Are you pleased with the Southwestern theme in FarmVille so far? What else could they release?

Mom's FarmVille farm pays tribute to daughter with cancer

Posted:

farmvile farm tribute

For every story about a mother neglecting their children while playing FarmVille, there's a touching story that might bring a tear to your eyes. Like this story about a mom who decorated her farm (which includes a purple and yellow cancer awareness ribbon, and a stream that looks like a second ribbon) in honor of her 4-year-old daughter with neuroblastoma, cancer of the nervous system.

farmville cancer ribbonFrom the original post on FarmVille Freak, the mom tells why she fixed up her farm for her little girl as she struggled with the disease and eventually ended up in remission.

"I made this in honor of my 4 year old daughter. She has been battling cancer for over 8 months and is now in remission. She loves watching me play FarmVille and so I wanted tomake it really pretty for her.

She was diagnosed last year, August 6, 2009, with stage IV, high risk, neuroblastoma. It is a cancer of the nervous system and hers started in her left adrenal gland and had spread to her bones and bone marrow. Two chemo treatments later it was out of her marrow, and only 8 short months later she was declared cancer free...

Guide to PetVille's NEW! virtual ikebana (a.k.a. Flower Arranging feature)

Posted:

PetVille Make a Bouquet
PetVille has kicked all our flower pots to the curb and is using flower power to further the social aspect of its gameplay. What does that mean, you ask? Well, previously, the game equipped each room with a free flower pot of your choice, and flowers you can buy that'd wilt at different rates to offer varying Love points (i.e. XP). But now, each pot is the same, and you need to earn those flowers the hard way -- which in social gaming terms, means begging and gifting.

But the new system is much more nuanced than that. Sure, flowers have now become another commodity to chase in-game, but being allowed to craft your own bouquets by dragging one's mouse around is such a nice touch, it's almost a game of its own! As a matter of fact, in Japan, flower arrangement is called ikebana, and considered a serious art discipline.

For the full scoop to this new feature, click on the link below!

FishVille Fanta-Sea mystery crates: Find out what's inside

The Fanta-Sea Mystery Crate will soon be leaving FishVille, and you might be wondering if it's worth spending the 10 Sea Shells to buy one before it swims away forever. Obviously, you'll have to make that call for yourself, so without further adieu, here's what you're likely to find inside...

Happy Aquarium: Adopt a Lost Baby Axolotl (a.k.a. Wooper Looper)

Posted:

Happy Aquarium Axolotl
Lost baby animals in Happy Aquarium is a creature grabbing feature where a pet is only available through the Facebook wall posts of other players. So if you run into one in the game, you can post the prompt to your wall, but someone else will get your critter. Obviously, some cooperation is needed if you want one of your own.

The newest addition to the orphaned critters family is the Axolotl -- a neotonic mole salamander that comes from a lake in Mexico City. "Neotonic" is a fancy adjective telling us that these are salamanders that have failed to grow up into a proper salamander, so they're stuck as infantile gilled lizards. Fortunately for them, this also makes them a very popular pet in America, Britain, and Japan.

So yes, not only is this Axolotl sad because it's been abandoned by his family (according to Happy Aquarium) during a Cinco de Mayo parade, but it'll never know the visible joys of puberty. I think this thing has won the virtual pet sob story of the year, don't you?

Happy Aquarium Limited Edition Cinco de Mayo Fish

Posted:

Happy Aquarium Cinco de Mayo Mayan Fish
While there's no such thing as a Cinco de Mayo Fish, that's not going to stop Happy Aquarium from designing a "Gorgeous MAYAN FISH" for the holiday. The closest they can come to a real life copy is the Mayan Cichild, which looks nothing like Crowdstar's virtual piscine doppelganger.

The Cinco de Mayo Fish can be bought for 46 Pearls or 38 Facebook Credits, and will be available while supplies last, or until the May 6th 2:00 p.m. PST deadline -- whichever ends first.

Tiki Resort Sun Charm melts restrictive snow

Posted:


Anyone who has unlocked the second island in Tiki Resort knows it's impossible to build anything on the snow covered plains. Aside from providing beautiful frozen vistas, the snow makes the northern half of the island totally useless.

However, Tiki Resort has released a charm to finally melt the snow. No summer getaway should have snow so close the beach and luckily, the new Sun Charm here to make our resorts a little more tropical. Think of it as as a little global warming in charm form!

Wild Ones releases new Ice Bridges map

Posted:

Wild Ones Ice Bridges
The steady stream of Wild Ones updates continues with a new map: Ice Bridges.

Different from the other Wild Ones levels, Ice Bridges' design provides a unique experience. As pictured above, the players spawn divided, with a solid bridge of ice separating the players. This means that if a pet desires to attack a player on another level, they must first tunnel through the ice with explosive weapons. As a result, the Drill Gun becomes the weapon of choice for Ice Bridges. Finally, in situations like the one above, players seeking survival will often team up, creating an intense 2 vs 2 standoff.

Many of the levels in Wild One require higher levels to be unlocked. This is a problem for fans who aren't Wild Ones addicts, and who might simply enjoy a game now and then. These players will never experience most of the maps. More importantly, their lower level limits them to a choice of just a few levels.

The release of this frigid battlefield comes in response to the growing number of fans criticizing the limited level selection. Ice Bridges comes as a small breath of fresh arctic air, giving players a break from the stale map assortment. So be sure to head to Wild Ones and battle enemy pets on the newly released Ice Bridges.
