First gameplay footage of iPhone Farmville

No longer just a rumor, no longer just an announcement at a press conference, Farmville on the iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad/iToaster is now a reality, at least on the New Zealand App Store.

And here's the proof: a quick video showing off the basics of the iFarmville interface. Look for more detailed impressions of the newly mobile Facebook game here soon.

Calling all iPhones: FarmVille is here!

This image is not an optical illusion. FarmVille for iPhone has officially arrived in the US App Store. Millions of virtual farmers rejoice, knowing that they can now tend to their crops anytime, anywhere. You can download the game from the App Store here.

FarmVille for iPhone was first announced earlier this month at Apple's Worldwide Developer's Conference, and Zynga CEO Mark Pincus quickly gave a demo of the game, but didn't spill any additional details, such as an exact release date and the differences between the iPhone and Facebook versions. It makes sense, however, that the portable farm-fest rolls out now, just as iPhone 4 arrives and FarmVille celebrates its one-year anniversary.

farmville in the app store -- we can't believe our freakin eyes

The game was first spotted in the New Zealand iTunes store and downloaded immediately. First impressions of the portable FarmVille ran hot and cold. While the game seems to integrate easily with the Facebook version (enter your email and you're basically up and running) the game was moving very slowly. Like, molasses slow. When I tried the FarmVille later, it moved at a slightly faster clip, and I assume that's because it's running on the iPhone 3GS, rather than the slower iPhone 3G.
Here is a quick list of my first impressions of FarmVille for iPhone (which I have nicknamed 'PhoneVille'):

The Good:

* It's free to download and play --
* It connects easily with the Facebook version of your game
* Receiving gifts is much easier than it is on the Facebook version
* It's feels natural to use the touch screen to plant and harvest crops
* When using tractors, you can 'paint' multiple plots at once by holding and sliding your finger, and all the work is done pretty quickly. It's actually a superior tractoring experience than the Facebook version.
* The game comes with additional Apple-only content: A Rainbow Apple Tree and a Snow Leopard

The Not-So-Good:

* It takes too much time to load the game, and perform tasks in the game
* Using tractors and other machinery is a little difficult at first and takes some time to figure out
* There's still a lot of things in the original game that you can't access on the iPhone version, such as:
-- No avatar in iPhone version of the game
-- You can't buy or use building materials in the game, you can only send building materials as gifts on the iPhone
-- Puppies -- you can't take care of/interact with them on the iPhone version
-- You can only send gifts to other people playing PhoneVille
-- Collections and ribbons can only be viewed on the Facebook version of the game

Even though the game might be sluggish at times and is missing some key features, it's still a perfectly respectable replication of the game I know and love on Facebook. Check out Games.com's first impressions of FarmVille iPhone, a.k.a. PhoneVille, in the video below.

FarmVille 7-Eleven promo ends, but the corny commercials will live forever

The Zynga 7-Eleven promotion officially ended on July 15 (you can still redeem codes through December, however), but these two commercials will keep the memory of our favorite Facebook game promotion alive forever.

But seriously, it's not really clear what's going on in either of these commercials (the guy from Jersey turns into a farmer? They have guns but run from the police?), but they do have that cheeseball vibe that reminds me of video games commercials from the '80s.




Give us your best interpretation of either of these videos, and whomever has the best explanation will win a Mafia Wars or FarmVille 7-Eleven code (we still have a few leftover in Games.com storage).

FarmVille Queen Bees suddenly swarm our crops, Facebook walls

FarmVille Queen Bees, the main ingredient required to start a beehive, have been hard to come by, forcing people to either shell out Farm Cash to buy them or just skip the hive construction altogether. Looks like the beekeepers behind the scenes at Zynga heard virtual farmers pleas, because Queen Bees seem to be buzzing around more than ever.

farmville queen bee

Today, I logged into the game and got a notification that I found a Queen Bee and can share her with friends via a Facebook Wall post. I already have a hive, so I don't need one -- so this seems to be a random event designed to get everyone buzzing about bee hives again.

Zynga releases FarmVille on Google Chrome Web Store

Google's Chrome Web Store launched today, and with it came the release of a FarmVille by Zynga Chrome web app. In an effort to keep you as up-to-date as possible concerning all things FarmVille, we took this app for a spin.

Technically, the app is incredibly easy to install on your Chrome web browser. Just sign into your Google Account, head over to the Chrome Web Store, and search for FarmVille. This shows you a page where you click on "Install" to, you guessed it, install the "app." From there, every time you open a new tab in Chrome, you'll see the FarmVille logo presented under the new "Apps" heading, like in the screenshot at the right of this post.

Clicking on this button - wait for it - takes you to FarmVille.com. No, that's not a joke. All this "application" does is add a much larger bookmark to your new tab (where you normally see links to your most visited websites). However, since it had been awhile since we've actually played the game on FarmVille.com, we did notice one nice thing, that being the launch of Widescreen Farming.

Where the true Facebook experience is limited to the small gameplay window shared by the vast majority of Facebook apps, this Widescreen Farming on FarmVille.com allows you to view a screen that is about 1/3 wider than normal. This means that those farmers that like to view their farms up-close-and-personal, rather than being zoomed out, will have an easier time scrolling around their land, as you can simply see more land at once.

Ultimately, is the App worth installing? We'd have to say no. Unless you have too many bookmarks in your Chrome Bookmarks Bar (the one underneath the address bar), and you want to free some space, you're better off just skipping this one.

Is Google Chrome your primary browser? If so, have you checked out the Web Store? Will you download the FarmVille app for its new bookmark?

FarmVille Beekeeper Update: Bountiful Beekeeper Ribbon & Fertilize All Boosts

Remember when everyone was busy building Beehives in FarmVille? Back in July, it seemed like the entire game was focused on these buzzing bees, but since then, the only real purpose they've had in the game is ...well, they haven't really had an in-depth purpose, now that I think about it.

That all changes with an impromptu FarmVille update tonight, however, as Zynga has added a new Bee-themed ribbon to the game called Bountiful Beekeeper. This ribbon works similarly to the "Egg-cellent Discovery" ribbon, which was rewarded upon randomly receiving Mystery Eggs from your Chicken Coop, but in this case is rewarded after you've found a certain number of Fertilize All items when harvesting your Beehive.

That's right - there is now an even better reason to harvest your Beehives, in addition to just earning a certain number of coins for doing so. Not only can you earn Fertilize All items (they automatically appear in your Gift Box, and can be used to fertilize every crop currently growing on your farm, making them worth XP when harvested), but these Fertilize Alls will allow you to earn Ribbons, or the game's achievements, resulting in even more coins and experience points for your account.

Like all others, the Bountiful Beekeeper ribbon has four levels, with each requiring more and more Fertilize Alls to be found. The Yellow Ribbon requires that you find just five Fertilize All Boosts, and if you're lucky, you'll have this step finished in as many days.

The Bountiful Beekeeper Ribbon now brings the current total of all available ribbons to 39. How many of the others have you been able to complete to the Blue Ribbon level, and will you work on finishing this one as well?

FarmVille loading problems: Farmers able to load find their crops withered

Today, many are finding that loading FarmVille has been no easy task. As FarmVille loading problems and issues continue into the afternoon, many farmers are beginning to lose their patience.

Some of the farmers that were plagued with FarmVille loading issues this morning, have been able to return to their farms. Yet, the frustration continues even for those able to load the game and play. Upon loading up their farms, players discovered that their carefully timed crops had withered!

While we can maybe understand the loading issues due to FarmVille being updated, allowing our crops to wither after blocking us from the game is just unfair. Usually while updating FarmVille, Zynga pauses in-game time or turns off withering, so that none of our crops are affected at their expense. Unfortunately, that was not the case this time. Some players with whole fields of carefully scheduled crops lost thousands of Coins due to the FarmVille loading problems.

Fans are demanding a statement from Zynga, who as of yet has not said anything about the FarmVille loading issues. The only response has been a notice in FarmVille (despite many not being able to load the game):

"FarmVille is currently experiencing some loading issues. "

I suppose we should be grateful that we were able to load FarmVIlle at all without any more loading issues or problems, but I really do hope FarmVille helps out those with withered crops somehow.

Hopefully this is resolved soon.

FarmVille Holiday Avatar Costumes: Polar Bear & Snowman

Still looking for that perfect holiday costume for your avatar in FarmVille? How about a costume that will last you through the holiday season and the rest of winter to boot? If you've said yes, then you might be interested in the two newest offerings that have been added to FarmVille this week.

The costumes are the Polar Bear and Snowman costumes. Both of these costumes are limited edition, and are part of the Winter Holiday theme of items, giving them a time limit of 17 days remaining in the game's store. They are both premium, costing 10 Farm Cash each. For purchasing either costume, you'll gain 350 experience points as a reward.

If you've spent most of your Farm Cash on other items this holiday season, remember that Zynga has offered compensation to those users affected by the many glitches in the Snowman event, which we told you about earlier this week, so you may have 20 free Farm Cash on hand and not even know it. Conveniently enough, that's just what these costumes would cost to add to your wardrobe. Whether or not you do in fact purchase them, though, is of course up to you.

FarmVille Sneak Peek: Valentine's Basket gift event to spread the love

Valentine's Basket
They're at it again. FarmVille Freak discovered yet another unreleased image of a feature yet to see the light of the FarmVille live servers. If the Cupid's Castle wasn't enough, players will soon have to fill a Valentine's Basket with delicious chocolate hearts. We imagine this will be a freely giftable item just like those before it. The Holiday Tree is still fresh in your memory, no?

Players will likely receive special rewards at certain milestones for collecting up to 150 Valentine's gifts. After amassing 150 of the treats, players will be rewarded with a special bonus item, but can continue to collect gifts beyond the limit. Also, FarmVille Freak reports that Cupid's Castle can now be harvested for these gifts as well. Of course, this could just as easily not be released, but why would Zynga let us all down like that?

Check out the rest of our Valentine's Day coverage right here.

What items do you think we will be rewarded from the Valentine's Basket? Why would Zynga allow players to pass the limit of 150 gifts?

CityVille's FarmVille Promo Quest: Everything you need to know

For some time now, we've known that Zynga would be launching a cross-promotion between their two biggest games, FarmVille and CityVille. However, the details have been shaky at best concerning this new promotion, as some users have reported seeing a CityVille branded item being available in the FarmVille marketplace, that will supposedly launch a specific quest for you in CityVille, but the users spotting this were very few in number, and the information has been unreliable at best.

Now, though, we have some very concrete details about this new quest, as you can actually activate it on your farm (or rather, in your city). Click on this link to activate the FarmVille Promo quest in CityVille.

Upon entering CityVille (using the link above), you'll be greeted by the pop-up pictured at the top of this post. It tells entirely new CityVille players that you'll first need to complete the entire tutorial, along with naming your city in order to be eligible for the FarmVille quest. If you've never played CityVille, you'll earn a free item - the Farmgineers [pictured] - back in FarmVille for completing this quest, so it definitely is worth it.

Meet us behind the break for complete details as to how to complete this simple goal and claim your reward.
Once you activate this quest in your city, you'll see the large FV logo resting alongside the left portion of the CityVille gameplay window, in line with the other active quests on your account. This quest is fairly simple, so long as you have a few active neighbors playing CityVille (or a few active farmers that have also started playing CityVille just to complete this quest), as it only requires you to complete one task:

Ask friends to help find Rare Seedlings for Rita

As you might have guessed, finding these rare seeds is a process that requires you to click on the "Ask your Friends" button in the quest window and then post a general news item to your feed asking your friends for help. You can also skip this step and simply pay 8 City Cash to finish the mission instantly.

Once you complete this quest, you'll see another FarmVille logo appear in the quest line. Clicking on this window brings up a pop-up with a link to click on to claim your reward back in FarmVille. Click on this button and voila - you are told by Zynga that you've successfully earned the Farmgineers item for completing the mission. The Farmgineers can be found in your Gift Box, and then used as any other decorative item in the game can be used.

FarmVille Valentine's Sneak Peek: Valentine Teddy, Heart Rabbit, Love Shack & More

The unreleased items just keep coming today, as we've uncovered another batch of Valentine's Day items that will most likely be coming to FarmVille in the near future. There are at least nine more items that will likely be released in the game's Valentine's Day theme is all said and done, if these newest leaked images are to be believed.

Starting from left to right in the above post, we have a Venus Gnome (Venus as in the Roman goddess of Love, not the planet), a Heart Rabbit, Rose Vase, Flowers Ram, Romantic Gazebo, Romantic Coach, Love Shack, Valentine Teddy Bear and Valentine Snowman.

As of right now, it's unclear as to how all of these will eventually make their presence known in the game. Some of these items could be those found to purchase in the store, while others could be Mystery Game prizes, or even prizes in the upcoming Valentine's Day collection event, that we've been keeping track of as well.

Also, the Valentine Snowman is one item that is particularly interesting. After seeing the release of a plain, white Snowman in the middle of December, could this be a Valentine's Day version of that same feature? Another buildable snowman that we'll have to construct with pink snowballs, scarves, and the like?

Anything is possible at this point, and we'll be sure to share all of the details concerning these new items if and when they are officially released in the game, so keep checking back.

Check out the rest of our Valentine's Day coverage right here.

What do you think of this set of Valentine's Day FarmVille items? Which ones would you be willing to pay Farm Cash for, and which should remain as strictly coin items?

FarmVille Sneak Peek: St. Patrick's Day Clover Chicken and Clover Sheep

If you're looking forward to the next holiday in FarmVille, that being St. Patrick's Day, as much as this farmer, you'll want to know all about these two new St. Patrick's Day animals that we believe will be coming to the game as part of this year's celebration.

The two animals are the Clover Chicken and the Clover Sheep, with both being lovely shades of pale green, along with some clover accents in a darker green color. If green is your favorite color, you'll simply love these cute little fellas, let's put it that way.

As of right now, there's no known details as to how these animals will be released in the game, but with the Clover Rabbit being released as part of the Wishing Well feature, the likelihood that this pair will join it is rather high. Perhaps these items will be prizes in the (what we assume is) upcoming Pot of Gold feature? Or maybe they'll simply be available to purchase from the game's store for coins or Farm Cash.


Whatever the case, we'll make sure to let you know all of the details about these animals as soon as we have them, but for now, check out their animations above.

What do you think of these two St. Patrick's Day animals? Do you like holiday-themed animals, or would you appreciate more realism in FarmVille?

FarmVille Sneak Peek: Knight Gnome, Gumdrop Cluster, and More

Today has been absolutely golden for unreleased items in FarmVille, as we've come across two more items that will apparently be released shortly in the Fairy Tale limited edition item theme, along with a little visual proof that Zynga is working on a 30 x 30 land expansion in the game.

The two Fairy Tale items are the Knight Gnome and Gumdrop Cluster. While there's no guarantee that either of these items will be released officially, after the launch of the Princess Gnome just a few days ago, his arrival is all but guaranteed. We'd guess that both of these items will be released as single purchase items in the store, but it is also possible that they make their way into a new Mystery Game (rumor has it, another Mystery Game containing the Pink Unicorn is in our future).

As for the 30 x 30 Land Expansion, we don't have many details just yet, but we have started to hear rumblings about an expansion in the works, since this would be the most logical advancement in the game, after the 28 x 28 land expansion that was released late last year. Zynga hasn't officially announced that they are working on the land expansion, but we can only hope that there is some truth to the rumor.

As usual, we'll make sure to give you all of the details about these new items when they officially launch in the game, so keep checking back.

What do you think of this new set of FarmVille unreleased items?

FarmVille Leprechaun Cottage: Everything you need to know

Use our Leprechaun Cottage gifting links to finish your cottage by St. Patrick's Day.

For some time now, we've been bringing you FarmVille sneak peeks of the new St. Patrick's Day Leprechaun's Cottage / treehouse that was then just an unreleased set of images. Via tonight's FarmVille update, however, the Leprechaun's Cottage became a reality as the building is now available to build on your farm!

As we expected, this building will function in a manner comparable to that of the Haunted House or the Cupid's Castle, from the Halloween and Valentine's Day events, respectively. That is, the Cottage will start at one size, and can then be upgraded three more times, each time causing the Cottage to become larger and more elaborate, changing from a simple cottage sitting on the ground to one perched high in a tree, surrounded mostly by the treetop. The larger your Leprechaun Cottage, the more Gold you'll be able to collect from the building each day, with that Gold presumably being used in a Pot of Gold that has yet to be released. As such, a completed Leprechaun Cottage won't give off Gold just yet, but that doesn't mean you can't have a head start in building the Cottage to completion! The first stage of construction on the Leprechaun's Cottage will require just four each of Bricks, Nails, and Wooden Boards. You'll start with one ingredient for free, so you should be able to blow through this stage fairly quickly. As you move to the next stage, you'll need 16 of each item.

The final stage of the Leprechaun Cottage requires more parts still, at 30 of each of these items. As you add building materials to your Cottage, you'll be able to share free Bricks, Nails, and Wooden Boards at various stages - either when completing the collection of a particular ingredient in full, or when reaching the halfway point of an expansion, and so on.

As for collecting the building materials themselves, remember that you have quite a few ways to go about that. You can either click on the "Ask for More" button associated with any ingredient to send out individual gift requests to your friends, asking them to send you the parts you need, or you can simply purchase them outright for 1 Farm Cash each. You can also open Special Delivery Boxes to receive the ingredients you need for free, or you can initiate the sending of these items from the free gifts page, in the hopes that your friend(s) reciprocate. Finally, always remember that your friends will likely be posting tons of these ingredients for free on their wall as they build their own Cottages, so you should feel free to take advantage of that generosity.


It should be noted that if you don't like the massive size of the Leprechaun Cottage, or simply want to store it until the Pot of Gold has been released (thus giving the building an actual purpose), Zynga has built the ability to store the item in already, so you won't have to wait to do so (unlike with such buildings in the past).

All told, building the Leprechaun Cottage should at least give you something to work on for a little while, while waiting for the rest of the St. Patrick's Day theme to hit FarmVille in full. Or, it should least give you a way to clear out your excess of Special Delivery boxes, if you've been hanging onto them for such a purpose.

FarmVille: Zynga boosts News Feed collection limit to 200

After releasing a new item collection limit in FarmVille to stop those players who choose to use automatic bonus collection applications, Zynga faced a lot of heat from its userbase, with both players that use said automatic collectors, and even those that don't, stating that the limit simply wasn't fair. The general consensus was: Why punish the entire group for the acts of just a few? This was only exacerbated by the fact that a new throttle was also introduced, slowing all players (even those who were playing the game entirely on their own) in their bonus collection, so that we now have to wait a few seconds before collecting another item, for fear of being hit with the throttle for the rest of the day (which slows you down even further, potentially causing you to miss free items altogether).

At the time, the item limit was placed at 125 items per day, but due to player suggestions ("outrage" seems like a more appropriate word), Zynga has announced a change to the limit on the official FarmVille forums, to increase the number of bonuses players can claim each day. No, this doesn't get rid of the limit entirely, but we are now able to claim 200 items, rather than the original 125.
Community Manager Stumpgrinder posted:

    Based on your feedback we've made multiple adjustments to the throttling and item limit systems and we will continue to do so as we examine the data. A further adjustment we've decided to make is that we have increased the maximum number of items that can be collected from the feed on a daily basis from 125 to 200, effective immediately. With this increase we believe we have achieved a very good balance for all of our players from this point onward.

Stumpgrinder adds that if users who aren't using automated programs still feel they are being unfairly limited in their item collection, they should post their continued feedback on the forums.

It seems like it was only a matter of time before Zynga simply had to increase the limit on users, for fear of losing agitated players altogether. Whether you use an automated collection program or not, the simple idea of not being able to take advantage of all of the free items that Zynga highly encourages, or even sometimes forces you to post simply doesn't make sense. We can understand Zynga's frustration, though, and hope that they continue to take this matter seriously into the future.

FarmVille English Countryside Duke's Airship Goals: Everything you need to know

The Duke has finally arrived in FarmVille, but his landing wasn't exactly smooth. In fact, his airship is in tatters, so it's up to you to fix it and accept his offer of your very own farm in the English Countryside. This introductory set of Goals isn't terribly difficult, but to ensure you're ready to get to England as quickly as possible, join us behind the break for a detailed guide.

Duke's AirshipWhen the content becomes available to you in-game, a boy will point out something in the distance that's approaching fast. The game will then play a short cutscene displaying Duke's graceful entrance. Afterward, he'll offer you a deed to your new farm (how did these people find out about you?), but needs you to fix his airship if you're to make the trek across the pond. You'll immediately be put into placement mode, so place the airship down and begin tackling the first Goal:

1. Drop Anchor!:

    Buy 3 Crates from the Market and place them


Easy enough, right? Crates cost just 150 coins and yield 5 XP when placed. Once you purchase one Crate, you will remain in placement mode, meaning you don't have to access the Market to buy the next two Crates--just place two more. Once this Goal is complete, you'll earn a whopping 100 XP, 5 Farm Cash and 2500 coins. Zynga's being mighty generous for being on your out of the farm.

2. Cotton to It:

    Plant 50 Cotton


That's it, really. Just throw down 50 Cotton plants and, without even harvesting them, you'll have completed this Goal. However, this one will cost you 3,750 coins. Finish planting and you'll be rewarded with 100 XP, 1 Flag and another 2,500 coins.

3. Nice Supplies:

    Purchase 1 Cow from the Market


Couldn't these just be condensed into one Goal? Just buy the Cow from the Market and you will be rewarded with 250 XP, an Aviator's Cap and yet another 2,500 coins.

Duke's Airship Party
4. Bon Voyage Party:

    0-3 neighbors: Unable to travel to England
    4-14 neighbors: Depart in 4 days
    15-34 neighbors: Depart in 2 days
    35 neighbors: Depart right now


Finally, it's time to say goodbye to your old farm, but not without a send-off party. This could potentially be the biggest snag for people itching to get into FarmVille English Countryside. This Goal acts similar to the New Years party in that you'll need to add friends to your party for a meter to fill to the top. However, the time in which you'll have to wait for access to England is at stake. Add only up to three friends, and you won't even be able to go; add 4 to 14 and the wait time for your flight will be four days, and so on.

And yes, those days are in real time, meaning you'll have to wait another four days to enter the English Countryside expansion if you don't have more than 14 friends. Unfortunately, this is the only way to access this new content, so get into the forums, the FarmVille Facebook page or even the comments below to find more friends to colaborate with.

Once the timer reaches zero, a pop-up will appear guiding you to your new farm. Follow the instructions and you'll be in England in no time. To switch between farms, click on the small airship or home-shaped icons (depending on which farm you're currently in) on the upper righthand corner of the game screen. Now, you're ready to farm in England.

Earn 2 free FarmVille Farm Cash in Acqua for Life promotion

A second free Farm Cash promotion has been launched in FarmVille this week, with Giorgio Armani's Acqua for Life project teaming with Zynga to raise awareness about the importance of clean drinking water, especially for children.

The promotion can be found as you access all others - underneath the FarmVille gameplay window in a Sponsored Link [pictured]. This link will open a new window, where you'll see a trailer for the Acqua for Life / UNICEF Tap Project. You'll need to answer a series of survey questions to receive your Farm Cash, mostly introducing you to the fact that only $1 can provide 40 days of safe drinking water for a single child.

While the promotion ends after you've answered these survey questions, and you'll see your two free Farm Cash added automatically to your total, you can go one step further and "Like" the project's fan page. Each Like on the page sponsors $1 to the project, absolutely free. Again, you don't have to do this, but it only takes a second, and is at least for a great cause.

Have you seen this Farm Cash promotion appearing in your game? Did you Like the fan page to help the Acqua for Life campaign?

FarmVille Scam Alert: Candy Apple Tree posts are fake

Last week, we saw the launch of a new FarmVille scam offering Union Jack Mystery Eggs through wall posts. Via that post, you were supposedly allowed to receive a free Union Jack Mystery Egg, but that item hasn't even been released in FarmVille, and we warned you that the posts were fake.

It appears as though the group behind the posts haven't given up, though, as today another post started circulating, this time offering a supposed "free Candy Apple Tree." While we know that the Candy Apple Tree does exist (although it hasn't been released in the game yet), these posts claim to give one away for free. These posts are 100% fake, no matter how convincing they look, and we're here to once again help you from falling victim.

The post is like that seen above. Clicking on the link to "claim" this tree will take you to a page that does look remarkably realistic, but forces you to post the same news item to your wall. You can click on the "Skip" button all you'd like, but it refreshes, trapping you in a loop. If you accidentally click on one of these links, your best bet is to close the browser window altogether.

We'll make sure to let you know when the Candy Apple Tree does officially launch in the game, but for now, avoid these posts no matter what.

FarmVille English Countryside Sneak Peek: Sebright Chicken, Red Phone Booth, & More

Don't worry if your English Countryside is still looking a little empty in FarmVille, as Zynga is apparently planning to release even more new items in the current English Countryside limited edition theme, if these newest unreleased images are to be believed (which they should).

There's a bit of a variety in this newest set of items, as we have one animal, one building, and one decoration to show you. The animal is the Sebright Chicken, and while it will likely be able to be placed in a Chicken Coop, we wouldn't be surprised if this is one item that is locked to only being placed on your second farm in England, rather than on your Home Farm.

As for the other two items, they are the English Bed & Breakfast building, or the English B&B for short, and the Red Phone Booth. If you aren't a fan of the mysterious Blue Police Box which we believe was released as a nod to Dr. Who fans, this will be your chance to add a similar item in another color to your farm instead.

We'll make sure to let you know when these items are released in the game, along with their prices or other details about how they can be obtained so keep checking back.

Which of these three items would you most like to add to your farm, or do you want them all?

FarmVille Sneak Peek: Cricket, Polo and Equestrian items coming soon

Are any of you Cricket or Polo players/fans? Do you spend time in Equestrian activities? It looks like Zynga will be releasing a few items in FarmVille that are just for you (or anyone that decides to purchase them), as we've come across images of not only new Cricket decorations, but also a Polo outfit for your FarmVille avatar, and an equestrian fence.

The new items are (from left to right in the image above) the Cricket Garden, the Cricket Gnome, a Horse Jumping Fence, and a Polo Outfit or costume for your avatar. As of right now, we're not sure if there will be more items in each of these three sporting themes (we're fairly confident at least a cricket outfit will be released), but we can only assume that Zynga will eventually create outfits for the other two sports, or even some more decorative items for those that want to turn their farms into a sport zone.

We'll make sure to let you know when these items are released, along with whether or not they are alone.

Which of these three sports is your favorite? Will you decorate your farm to show off that you're a fan?
