| Barn Buddy releases two new donkey buddies Posted:  Barn Buddy is a farming game similar to favorites such as FarmVille, and today they have launched two new donkeys, one grey and one brown. These two new donkeys can be found in the Shop under the Animals tab. The Brown Donkey requires 5,360 Barn Buddy Credits, but earns you 40 xp and coins every 6 hours for petting it. The Grey Donkey costs 73,542 coins, but only grants you 20xp and coins every 6 hours and you have to be level 65 in order to purchase it. The level 65 requirement is quite a bit high on the Grey Donkey, but it's obvious they're trying to encourage people to buy the brown donkey since it requires cash to purchase it. These donkeys have a bucking animation that they do occasionally as well, which makes them fun. Unfortunately, they's basically the same donkey, except different colors, and use the same model as the limited edition Burro that was released for Cinco de Mayo. Do you play Barn Buddy? What do you think of these two new donkeys?

| PetVille giving away free Clean Bomb to fans Posted:  PetVille are always giving away free items to their Facebook fans, and today that free item is a Clean Bomb. This Clean Bomb will instantly clean up all of the trash in your pet's home, and give double the love and coins when you drop them.

| New Federal Building released in Social City Posted:  Social City has just released a brand new Federal Building, available under the "Leisure" tab in the building menu. This new 2x2 building increases your happiness by 16,000 and offers 1,000 coins every 5 days. It takes 1 day to build and rewards 3,200 XP. The biggest shocker is the sticker price, at a whopping 800,000 coins to build. Whew! This new building is the highest level leisure building that has been released, as it requires level 31 to purchase. It's a basic government building but will look perfect the city hall and the other similar government structures. Is 800,000 coins too much, or will you be buying the new Federal Building?

| Mafia Wars plans Central Mainframe Access Code system overhaul Posted:  Just when we were starting to commit our Central Mainframe Access Code to memory, Mafia Wars says it's going to give this new bonus system an overhaul. That means there's good news and bad news. First, the good news -- codes can be accessed in game, and will no longer need to be written down. Then, the bad news: Right now you can redeem this code for a reward daily, but post-overhaul, rewards will be doled out weekly instead. Boo. If you're one of the few who lost your code this week, this Mafia Wars forum post says not to contact support -- "They cannot assist Users with retrieving them at this point in time." Guess you'll have to sit tight until this Central Mainframe access is retooled later this week. [Via Official Mafia Wars forum]

| Mafia Wars removes pit bulls in response to PETA complaint Posted:  Last week, when we reported on PETA's efforts to get the recently added pit bull combat items removed from Mafia Wars, our commenters unanimously wished the organization would just go away. Instead, it seems the pit bulls are the ones going away, as Zynga has removed the animals from the game.In a press release responding to the move, PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman said she would be sending a box of vegan chocolates to Zynga CEO Mark Pincus by way of thanks. "By removing Mafia Wars' virtual pit bull, Zynga is no longer perpetuating the mindset that it's acceptable to chain, neglect, and abuse real dogs," Reiman said in the release. If our commenters are any indication, we're sure Zynga is now fielding a boatload of complaints from players angry that their digital pets/weapons have been taken away. If anyone at the company is looking for a compromise that satisfies both sides, may we humbly suggest robot pit bulls (pictured)?

| Pet Society's got a secret -- a Manhole Secret Room, that is Posted:  Think back to being a kid (that's further back for some than others) and remember how many times you wished you could find a secret room in your house, whether by moving a book on a shelf to make it magically open or climbing into a wardrobe a la Narnia and finding something on the other side. Unless you lived in a very eccentric house, that probably never happened. which makes Pet Society's new secret room -- sorry, the Manhole Secret Room -- that much more intriguing.

| Happy Pets: Guide to Building a Horse Stable Posted:  The upside to keeping horses (or just about any animal) in Happy Pets, is that unlike FarmVille, your pets are things you can interact with, and not just static set pieces that stand like statues or occasionally glide around the screen.

| FarmVille Scam Groups and the only Reward for Joining Posted:  Every FarmVille Freak should know a fake FarmVille group page, scam offer, or newsfeed posting because we know that you have to work hard for your farm cash and exclusive items and that merely clicking on a link will not reap the promised rewards. Yet, still many newbies or uninformed farmers continue to add these fake pages and join scam groups. So if you or someone you know insists on joining these scam groups hoping that they will actually work, the picture of the ribbon below is the only reward you can ever expect to receive. Please note, this ribbon is not real or unreleased. Its sole purpose is for sarcasm and laughs. This article originally appeared on FarmVIlle Freak.

| Happy Pets: NEW! Horses and Horse Stable make a whinnying combination Posted:   With the exception of the Palomino, the five new color breeds that have debuted in the game are made-up. How else could we get fun colors like Cerulean and Fantasia? We've also got the Smoke Horse, which is a Black Beauty, and the white Coconut Horse, aptly named as half-shelled coconuts are a well-known sound effects trick for mimicking a trotting horse.All of these horses can be purchased only after building a Horse Stable, which costs 800 Coins. The Fantasia and Cerulean are Facebook Credits exclusives requiring 78 FB Credits, and they're bought for looks alone, as they've the lowest selling price out of the 5 breeds. But as far as daily maintenance goes, horses are now the pet that earns the most daily XP for players. Completing the Horse Stable will also get you a free horse (random gender), called the Light Bay (see image on right). See the Happy Pets Horse Stable building guide here.

| Restaurant City: Free Sugar and Chili says "Drink Me" Up Posted:  As announced yesterday, the "Drink Me" Potion is a new Wonderland Tea Party recipe that can be upgraded for a special effect when it hits level 10 -- it shrinks your customers! To level it up once, you'll need these 4 ingredients: Sugar, Water, Pineapple, and Chili. To crank it up to ten, you'll need 10 of each of those, for a total of 40.While it's doable, gathering those 40 will take awhile. Pineapple and Chili are helped by being freely available on the gifts page, but you'll need people to send 'em to you. And Sugar can be grow on your own, but the garden's output is random. That leaves Water as the scarcest and most desired ingredient. Right now, for a 24-hr period, two of those ingredients can be gotten for free. Note: All links below will launch the game. You only need to keep the game window open for a few seconds to accept your free item. FREE Sugar, available 24 hours only: http://bit.ly/beA3BU FREE Chili, available 24 hours only: http://bit.ly/c9ghx9

| Zynga and 7-Eleven promotion officially starts June 1 Posted:  We know there's a huge Zynga and 7-Eleven promotion coming up, and a source close to the campaign tells Games.com - The Blog! that we won't be able to get our hands on the FarmVille, Mafia Wars and YoVille-themed Super Big Gulps until June 1 (not May 17, which is the date listed on 7-Eleven's Web site). Guess we'll just have to wait that much longer to quench our thirst for exclusive virtual items in our favorite Facebook games.

Based on these scanned images for the promotion, we've seen all of the virtual items you'll be able to score, and which snacks you'll have to buy to get the corresponding virtual items. Plan accordingly.

| FarmVille zoom feature upgrade & missing camera button returns Posted:   Starting tonight, lots of FarmVille Freaks have noticed that they have the ability to "zoom out" of their farm more than usual.If you try zooming out you will notice that you can definitely see more surrounding greenery than normal. In possibly unrelated news the Camera or Photo task button has returned, but is still not functional. What could this mean? Is FarmVille gearing up for the next Expansion? Or could the new ability to super zoom out be connected with the tweaked camera feature, perhaps making it easier to take full size screenshots of your farm?
