| Treasure Isle releases new Pirate Cove maps Posted: 30 Jun 2010 06:10 PM PDT Filed under: Treasure Isle  Treasure Isle have been teasing us for some time by not only showing the Pirate Cove as a locked area for the last few weeks, but also posting on their wall about how the pirates are coming soon. Tonight, the mystery is revealed, and the first set of Pirate Cove maps have been unveiled. There are 7 maps in total for right now, and the list of maps is as follows: Sharky's Village Brigand's Cove - 11 Island Cash Monkey's Gold - 7 Island Cash The Great Battle - Requires Level 75 Shiverin' Shores Invasion! Pirate Pub Players are likely to be upset, because the last time Treasure Isle required Island Cash to unlock maps, it caused quite the uproar. Generally, games only charge for items that allow cosmetic upgrades or small tweaks to improve the game experience. Actually gating game progression by requiring players to pay? That is unlikely to win Treasure Isle some fans. Either way, we're sure people will be shelling out cash to experience these maps. Have you paid for the pirate maps? Are they worth the money?

| Mafia Wars: Build cars extra fast in the new Gone in 60 Hours Event Posted: 30 Jun 2010 05:54 PM PDT Filed under: Mafia Wars  Mafia Wars' Gone in 60 Hours limited time event has started, and for the next few days, you'll be able to build cars twice as faast and collect double the car parts when completing jobs and fighting. You'll also be able to bild the Future Shock 1985, a nod to the time-traveling DeLorean from 'Back to the Future.' What mafia car collection could be complete without that? Not mine. This event also comes with extra construction parts that will help level up your Chop Shop faster, including 10 of each: cement blocks, power tools, car lift, acetylene torch and shipping containers. Not a bad deal if you've been wanting to level up your Chop Shop, but haven't been able to yet.

| New FarmVille Thank You Gift Option Posted: 30 Jun 2010 05:53 PM PDT In tonight's FarmVille updates a slight change was made to bonus accepting. You will now have the option to send a Thank You Gifts to your Neighbors after accepting, Adoptable Animals, Fuel, Free Xp, Foals and Calves among other items on from the Facebook homefeed.
This potentially could be a big improvement to the the game for those looking for or needing Free Gifts. For example, farmers could put a message in a Facebook bonus post letting their neighbors know what gift they are currently in need of, and with just a few clicks neighbors can receive a Foal (or whatever bonus it was) and help their neighbor out! In the end making all farmers happy. What do you think of this new option? Will you now be asking for gifts via your Facebook bonus posts rather than with a FarmVille Wish list?

| Mafia Wars catches on to the 'Icing' trend Posted: 30 Jun 2010 10:00 AM PDT Filed under: Mafia Wars  Looks like Mafia Wars has caught on the 'Icing' trend. Now, when you kill someone during a fight in the game, you get a new notification that says "You Iced Your Opponent." You also have the option to share your victory with friends, by offering them a Liquid Courage boost, which increases their attack skill by 44 during their next fight. Though I'm sure Zynga would deny it, this is clearly a nod at Icing -- a silly prank that started in dorm rooms and has made its way to corporate America (which means it's already waaay past the point of being cool.) The prank/game/whatever works like this: If a person is presented with a Smirnoff Ice, they must drop on one knee and chug the entire thing. That is, unless the presentee happens to 'block' the Icing, by carrying a Smirnoff Ice of their own. Then the person who initiated the Icing has to drop and chug. To refuse will bring a pox upon your house or some other kind of karmic badness. Icings have been well documented on brosicingbros.com (which has since been shut down by party poopers at Diageo, Smirnoff's parent company) and IceYou.com. I've also had the pleasure of getting Iced, and well, let's just say I won't be drinking any of Smirnoff's alco-pop, well, ever again. Good to see that the bros behind the scenes at Mafia Wars are keeping their fingers on the pulse of America ... or at least wrapped around a cold bottle of a malt beverage.

| FrontierVille glitch: The 'Lost Sheep' pop-up window that won't go away Posted: 30 Jun 2010 09:30 AM PDT Filed under: FrontierVille  While playing FrontierVille today, I ran across an annoying glitch in the beginning of the game. After finding and moving my lost sheep, a pop-up window appeared, informing me that I just scored 20 Food, 10XP and that I can share experience points with friends. After clicking the 'Share Experience' button, the window goes away. Everything seems normal, right? That is, until this same pop-up window keeps appearing every time the game launches, no matter how many times I click the 'Skip' or 'Share Experience' button. I'm starting to feel like Bill Murray in 'Groundhog Day.' Anyone else run across this problem? Are there any other big glitches everyone should know about? Leave a note in the comments below.

| Wild Ones Weapon Mystery Packs deliver weapon bundles Posted: 30 Jun 2010 08:49 AM PDT Filed under: Wild Ones   The Wild Ones Weapon Mystery Packs can be found in the store at the bottom right under the "Combos" section (where the Maps - Coming soon section used to be): 
So while the best deal requires that you be a Wild Ones Member, there are other options. Also worth mentioning is that only the membership Mystery Weapon Pack will include members-only weapons. On the other hand, all the Mystery Weapon Packs will have a chance of including new weapons. The new weapons are the carp, mallet, harpoon and chainsaw! To the right you can see the chainsaw going about its business. Clearly, you do not want your Wild Ones pet to be on the receiving end of that nasty tool. You're probably also dying to get your mitts on one of your own. Head to Wild Ones to check out the Mystery Weapon packs and if you're not stingy like me, maybe purchase one. Click here to play Wild Ones>

| Happy Pets Dino Den and Dinosaurs let players create their own Jurassic Park Posted: 30 Jun 2010 05:47 AM PDT Filed under: Happy Pets  Continue Reading to see all the new dinosaurs and discover how to own one.  Owning a dinosaur in Happy Pets requires a few steps, the most important being the Dino Den. The Dino Den costs 800 Coins in the Happy Pets store and is a crucial requirement for buying a dinosaur. Once you buy it you'll need to collect 80 parts to finish its construction. Ten torches, cement bags, hammers, drills, rocks, rivets, I-beams, and shovels are required. To get these parts, you'll need to enlist your friends, asking them to send you the various parts (pictured below). You may also skip that process and complete the Dino Den instantly for 320 Facebook Credits.  Once complete, you'll receive a free Green Triceratops and finally unlock the ability to purchase Dinos. While there are just two different species: the T-Rex and the Triceratops, they are available in a variety of colors including once with a rather familiar head of hair. See below for prices.
I think the dinosaurs make for a pretty swell addition to Happy Pets. It's definitely worth making the effort to finish the Dino Den just because in the end, it's all free! Sure it'll take a little effort, but imagine having a T-Rex stomping around, blowing fire among your dogs and cats. Crazy stuff. Head over to Happy Pets to check it out for yourself.

| Michael Jackson remembered by Pet Society players Posted: 30 Jun 2010 02:30 AM PDT Filed under: Pet Society  "Hey, look! It's Michael Jackson! No, wait, it's my Pet Society pet, Richard Jackson!" writes Anza. This is such a great picture and a nice way to commemorate Michael Jackson, who died a year ago today. I wish Playfish had released a sparkly white glove for this week!If you're a fan of Michael, CNN.com has a great site about him. Netflix also released the movie, "This is It." It's available on Instant Play. I admit, I wasn't a big fan of Michael when he was alive. His various scandals and weird facial transformations made it embarrassing to admit that you were a fan. But after he died, and radio stations played his music over and over, I found myself singing along. It made me realize how important his work had been.

| Pet Society: The Power of Pink in Pet Society and Beyond Posted: 30 Jun 2010 02:00 AM PDT Filed under: Pet Society  By the time I was in college, I had abandoned pink in favor of dark, moody colors. Every time I visited my mother, I couldn't stand going into my old room, let alone sleep in it. The carpet had taken on a grayish tone, and reminded me of a pig's intestines. I didn't wear pink for many, many years.  I love this. It's become my go-to shirt for days when I have an important meeting and I need to impress. I want to buy six more of these and wear them every day... that's how much I love this shirt. My Pet Society pet Sushi, however, still reflects my teenage rebellion stage. He looks best in blue or black. He is not built for pink. He hates pink and thinks these new items he dug out of the Enchanted Forest make him look like a third-rate drag queen trying to be Marie Antoinette. And he is so above that. He deserves better.
