PetVille keeps making it easier and easier to clean house -- both your own and your neighbor's. First, the game decreased the rooms and pieces of trash per house, now you can find extra Clean Bombs while poking around your neighbor's houses. If you're not the know about Clean Bombs, they're white bombs that you can use to clean your or a neighbor's pad in one fell swoop, a godsend if you want to get points and coins, but are tired of clicking on seemingly endless amounts of half-eaten cheese and empty potato chip bags. If we could only teach our pets how to clean up after themselves, then we'd be onto something (then again, that wouldn't leave us much else to do in the game).

FrontierVille Cheats and Tips: How to Earn Coins Guide
frontierville how to earn coins
If your FrontierVille frontier town is going to the shining pinnacle of western civilization, you're going to need lots of Coins. Although you need energy to do most everything in the game, Coins are just as crucial in building a successful frontier town in the wild west. Fortunately, we already covered energy and marriage with our FrontierVille Cheats and Tips: Energy Guide and FrontierVille Cheats and Tips: How to Get Married. Today we're here to bring you the FrontierVille Cheats and Tips: How to Earn Coins Guide.
frontierville coinsEarly on, FrontierVille Coins don't play a large role and you may find yourself with an abundance during the first levels. However, it's a smart idea to save up because soon you'll be ready to get married and start decorating or building your town: all requiring thousands of Coins. We warn you, there's no simple way to quickly amass a fortune. Collecting Coins takes time and effort. Nonetheless, our FrontierVille Cheats and Tips series is here to make it a bit easier for you with our coins guide. We take up the questions: How do I earn Coins? How can I get more Coins? or How can I receive free Coins? The answers to all these and more coming up after the break.
Continue reading to see the complete FrontierVille Cheats and Tips: How to earn Coins Guide.
Similar to energy, FrontierVille doesn't let you abuse the Coins system. Though there are no real Coin cheats or hacks allowing you to gain an unfair advantage, there are definitely methods that earn you more coins than others. Here are the various ways to earn Coins in FrontierVille:
Harvesting Crops
Growing and harvesting crops is the most efficient way to earn Coins in FrontierVille. Different crops will cost you different amounts of Coins to plant and will yield different rewards for harvesting. Usually the longer the time it takes a crop to grow, the more coins it will yield. However, if quick growing crops are planted and harvested repeatedly in a timely manner, more money can be earned.
It is important to take into account the amount of energy you have. One crop can be harvested with one point of energy. You don't want to be caught without any energy and lots of ripe crops, or your harvest might whither by the time you recover your energy. Nonetheless, you want to have crops growing pretty consistently since they (along with animals) will be your largest cash flow.
To earn coins quicker, try placing a "Tend This" sign next to your crops for your neighbors. Crops watered by your neighbors grow faster therefore delivering your precious Coins even quicker.
frontierville neighbor help
Using Neighbors
Neighbors are a great resource for getting extra coins. Everyday you can hire two neighbors to help on your farm for 50 Coins apiece. Even better: sometimes neighbors will appear on your land claim willing to help for free. Neighbors will net you Coins by doing work that would have normally cost you precious energy. Sounds like a good deal to us.
frontierville collections
Completing Collections
Harvesting crops, trees, animals, and doing most other actions in FrontierVille will occasionally reward you with collectible items. Once you collect one of each item in the set of five, these collection items can be traded in for rewards which often include Coins. For example, harvest enough tomatoes to collect all five items in the Tomato Collection (pictured above), and you'll receive 300 easy Coins.
Clearing Brush
Doing simple actions like clearing grass, boulders and skulls will also net you some easy bonus coins. Though, clearing brush usually only yields one Coin making it one of the slowest ways of collecting money. Either way, we have to beat the wilderness back out of our frontier town and we're glad we get some extra Coins for doing it.
Tending Animals
Like crops, harvesting or feeding animals will yield you Coins. In FrontierVille, animals are a strong investment since they continually get hungry and continually deliver even more coins. To see a complete list of all the animals and their Coin attributes check out our FrontierVille Cheats & Tips: Animal cheatsheet with all values.
frontierville goals
Completing Goalsfrontierville snake clobbering
Completing the tasks assigned to you in FrontierVille will grant you extra experience, and more importantly: Coins. As pictured above, many tasks and goals will give you handsome rewards for doing menial tasks. For example, decorating my FrontierVille town with a few hay bales earned me an easy 300 Coins. Make sure to do those tasks.
Selling Items
This is a pretty straightforward but often forgotten tip. If you have an item on your farm you don't want or need, sell it! That's easy money just going to waste on your farm. As soon as I completed the goal above, I sold those useless hay bales back for an extra few bucks.
Clobbering Animals
Doing a little clobbering now and then will earn you some serious Coins. Clobbering snakes or scaring bears will earn you a decent reward with each energy point used. However, the final blow will often release a jackpot of goodies (experience and coins) so make sure to beat up on those baddies.
Daily Bonus
When first signing in to FrontierVille, pay attention to the daily bonus. The bonus will often be food or Coins so don't miss this simple way to make money.
frontierville neighbors
Visiting/Helping Neighbors
Finally, never underestimate those neighbors! Not only can you hire them to work on your own farm, but merely visiting them will earn you some money (pictured above). Tending to five things on your neighbors' farms will also get you some coins.
Earning FrontierVille Coins won't be easy, but we hope perhaps our FrontierVille Cheats and Tips: How to earn Coins Guide has helped you or reminded you of all the various ways to pinch pennies. The more effective way to collect Coins in FrontierVille is to get out there and play without forgetting all the ways to earn cash we listed above.

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.
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
Gallery: FarmVille iPhone App
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.

Limited time Nautilus arrives to the FishVille store
It's hardly news that FishVille has released a new limited time item in the store, because not a week goes down where they don't - but we think this one is relatively unique. The Nautilus is a marine creature that is considered a "living fossil" because it has hardly changed in millions of years. They have tentacles, a head, and gills, and can live up to 20 years.
The Nautilus in FishVille is available for only about 5 1/2 days, and costs 14 Sand Dollars. We think it's great to have something else in our aquariums other than fish, so this unique cephalopod will make a great companion for your fish and lobsters.

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).

Help the gulf in YoVille with new Charity Pets
YoVille gulf oil spill charity pets
Zynga is all about charity efforts, and today a brand new way to help the Gulf oil spill relief efforts has surfaced in YoVille. Each week for the next four weeks, a new Charity Pet will be released. So far, we're being told that a Pelican, Sea Turtle and an Otter will be released. The fourth pet is still a mystery at this time. This week's pet is the Pelican, which is available for 30 Yo Cash. Half of the proceeds from each Charity Pet will go to the Audubon to help with the wildlife affected by the BP oil spill.
To access the new Charity Pets, click the "Help the Gulf" button in the top right of your game screen. You will then be given the option to either purchase the pet, or rally your friends. If you choose to rally your friends, you will post a wall post prompting your friends to help out. For every 10 friends that click on your wall post, you will receive a balloon accessory for your avatar.
Were you wanting to donate to help with disaster cleanup? Now is your opportunity to donate and get something in YoVille in return. Check it out by logging into YoVille today.

Treasure Isle teases about new Monkey Palace
The folks at Zynga who are in charge of Treasure Isle are a big fan of teasing players, giving us just enough information to get us excited about new features without fully spilling the beans. Today, we have learned that a new Monkey Palace will be coming soon. What do we know about it so far? According to the Treasure Isle Digger's Anonymous page (which is an official Zynga-managed Treasure Isle fan page), the monkey "might want to trade with you".
What could this mean? We have a few theories. One neat idea would be a player economy, where players can buy and sell things with each other in a player auction sort of interface. Another possibility is that the Treasure Palace monkey will provide unique limited items that can only be purchased when the monkey is around. Perhaps you can trade things in to the monkey in exchange for Island Cash or new items.

FrontierVille boosts coming soon, but they'll cost 'ya
FrontierVille players report that a series of Boosts have started showing up in their in-game Market -- and that they cost a boatload of Horseshoes -- 320 Horseshoes (roughly $30 in real-life cash) for the Fruit Ready boost, the most expensive of the lot.
These boosts haven't shown up in everyone's Market yet, so not sure if these are just in the testing phase or will be rolling out slowly over this week, but here's the list of boosts that have shown up so far:
Fruit Ready Boost
320 Horseshoes
Animal Ready Boost
400 Horseshoes
Fruit Harvest Boost
144 Horseshoes
Unwither Crop
80 Horseshoes
Wither Protection Boost
40 Horseshoes
We've seen Unwither protection show up in FarmVille for 200 Farm Cash (roughly $45), and it proved to be quite popular. It'd be hard to image that wouldn't be the case with these boosts in FrontierVIlle.

Mafia Wars: MADE event postponed until early 2011, lower ticket prices incoming
Zynga made an announcement today on the Mafia Wars Blog that, unfortunately, the Mafia Wars: MADE event in Las Vegas will be postponed from October 15 and 16 until early 2011. The post blames the delay on an "overwhelming response to the event" and admits that Zynga needs more time to plan the convention.
The Mafia Wars team also mentioned that this postponement will lead to lower ticket pricing and potentially a new location, most likely to accommodate more attendees. Just how much lower will Zynga be willing to go than $269.99 (for standard fare) is uncertain, but we're cautiously optimistic. An official announcement will be made within the week on the new dates for the event and you can bet your Armory that we'll be on it.

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.

Hello Facefolks, it's Mr. Cheats here with the down-low on the things you shouldn't know. Today's links discovered by the professionals at The Facegamer, are for the Cafe World Anniversary 50% Lightning Stove.
The Lightning Super Stove makes all of your cooking 50% faster, cutting cook times in half! In addition, it removes the need to do any ingredient sub-steps, therefore making cooking a quicker and more enjoyable experience. Our only complaint is that since you can only construct one, it throws off our simultaneous cook times.
To build the Cafe World Lightning Stove, all you need is a little help from your friends and the gifting links below. Use the Cafe World 50 percent faster Lightning Stove gifting links to send out the various parts necessary to build the stove, by clicking the corresponding images below and selecting the friends you wish to send parts to. Once you send out the parts, send your friends to this page so they can return the favor with ease! To complete the Cafe World Anniversary Lightning Stove you will need Golden Science Books, Golden Tesla Coils, Golden Flux Switches, and Golden Vacuum Tubes.

FarmVille-creator Zynga wants a 'dog activated world'
Zynga wants to be everywhere
Zynga CEO Mark Pincus revealed an interesting, if vague, fact about the company's mission for the future at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco yesterday. Pincus wants Zynga at your beck and call on every device and platform you're on. While the topic of the conference was titled "Points of Control," the CEO said, "The future is not about points of control (where companies control what users see). It's about user control. Users will have services that they feel will be basic, like a dial tone. It's always there. It's annoying if it's not there," VentureBeat reports.
In other words, it appears he wants Zynga to become as ubiquitous as, say, Facebook itself. And with a pool of 320 million users and up to three million logged in at any point, Pincus might be onto something. If he has his way, Zynga will serve a very specific purpose in the future.
"It's for when you don't have time to watch movies or TV or console video games," Pincus said yesterday. And how he hopes to accomplish this goal of instant-on, goal-driven gaming while increasing Zynga's 300 million plus users is by focusing on the hooks that draw players in, what Pincus calls "bold beats," according to VentureBeat. If Zynga improves upon these hooks, making them more meaningful to players, playing Zynga games could become second nature.
Also mentioned in his talk was that there are 400 employees focused on new intellectual property, which means brand new games are, in fact, on the way. Pincus also bragged about FrontierVille's 650 thousand same-sex marriages claiming, "That's amazing, that's probably more than any country in the whole world," according to TechCrunch. With sky high claims like these, Zynga officially has massive shoes to fill.

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?

CityVille: Bug Fixes, Feed Rewards and Bonus Meter improved
If you're like me, you likely jumped straight into Zynga's newest title CityVille with great anticipation of building your own city from scratch, becoming a star mayor and earning the adoration of thousands of virtual little citizens. But if you're like me, playing the game as regularly as the staff here at Games.com - The Blog have been, you've also likely realized that no game is perfect, including Zynga's newest.
Luckily, the CityVille team looks to be jumping into the fray with full force, as the game has already undergone a fairly large game update, offering bug fixes, and some additions or improvements that should make your path to city-building that much easier (including a way to earn coins a bit faster than originally).
We have the full list of enhancements and changes behind the break, so meet us there!
First and foremost, the amount of news feed rewards has been changed, based on the category of the reward you're claiming. Instead of pulling from one overall pool of requests available for the day (like in FrontierVille), you can now claim 5 Rewards for each time of wall post. This means that you can claim 5 rewards that offer Goods, 5 rewards that offer energy, and 5 rewards that offer coins, etc. Basically, so long as your friends don't post every single thing that they come across, you should be able to now claim everything in sight without running out too quickly.
Next, the Bonus Meter (the meter that fills as you click on the reward items that appear as you complete tasks) has been altered greatly, with the pay outs for each level, and the number of clicks required to reach each level being adjusted. Zynga didn't say whether or not they adjusted this to allow quicker meter filling or slower meter filling, but after jumping into the game and collecting from our businesses this evening, we can definitely say that the meter has been altered for the better. As an example, I personally collected from just 9 businesses, and collected the bonus items that appeared without letting the Bonus Meter reset, and I received over 4,000 coins in the process!
This should definitely help users add expansions and build the more expensive buildings and decorations that are already available in the game.
As for bug fixes, the full list is posted on the official CityVille forums, and is as follows:
Pier Storage- Pier storage is now being added to the total storage.
Friends Filters - Gift/Invite page now has the appropriate friends filters
Daily Bonus - Day 5 of the daily bonus is now fixed
Negative cash/coins - City Cash and coins will no longer appear to have a negative value.
Quest Items and Inventory - Quest items will be added to inventory regardless of whether or not the inventory is full.
Blank Inventory - Inventory will no longer appear blank when it's full.
"Clear Trees" Goal - There is now an option to skip the quest for 1 City Cash.
Deleted HQ Building - If you accidentally delete your HQ building you receive another one after refresh.
One item in particular stands out to us on this list - that being the "Clear Trees" Goal update. We've heard complaints from many users that had already cleared out their entire city of trees, only to receive this quest and then be stuck, due to the fact that there town simply had no trees to cut down. While we would have preferred to see Zynga offer a better solution than forcing users to pay premium currency to move on (even if it is just 1 City Cash), I guess a solution is better than no solution.
Zynga says that this is just the first batch of upgrades and bug fixes that will hit the game in the coming days and weeks, so keep checking back with us as we bring you coverage of these game updates, as the CityVille community continues to grow.
Which of these enhancements or improvements are you most excited about seeing in CityVille? Are there any bugs or problems that you'd like Zynga to tackle next?

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.

FrontierVille Cheats and Tips: Victory Gardens
Victory Garden
Sitting in your post-Level 100 ivory tree house in FrontierVille with nothing left to do? Well, if you've already exhausted all of your resources for extra XP for the day, here's something productive that will help pass the time: Victory Gardens. Shockingly enough, Zynga didn't think of it first--you pioneers did. Creating your own Victory Garden doesn't have any rigid rules or rewards. This is purely something born of the creativity and generosity of high-level pioneers everywhere (i.e. these are the type you want to be friends with).
Find out how to cultivate your own Victory Garden and help out those more commonly known as 'noobs' after the break.
Wither Protection BoostPlainly speaking, Victory Gardens are tracks of farmland meant only for your lower-level neighbors to harvest. Making one is simple, but there are a few brief prerequisites. First, you're going to need room... a lot of it. This is because the standard Victory Garden contains five of each crop at all times for friends to harvest. In fact, some Victory Gardens even contain five of each animal for harvest, but that's only if you're feeling extra generous. If you'd like, you could even hold just say, a Victory Ranch, if you'd rather not worry about the upkeep.
Which is exactly the second requirement. In order for Victory Gardens to operate effectively they need to be stocked with crops at all times. This way, your newbie friends will always have something to harvest when they drop in for a visit. If you're rolling in dough and would rather not worry about your Victory Garden too much, you could always throw some Wither Protection Boosts on your crops. These Boosts keep any crops currently planted from withering and can be found through turning in the Peas Collection or paying up 40 Horseshoes, or $5.
While this might seem obvious, the last prerequisite is to never harvest from your own or your friends' Victory Gardens. Since tTend Herehe whole point of Victory Gardens is to help our fellow new players out, this would defeat the purpose. That being said, make sure to plant crops and animals for your own use in a spot both far away from your Victory Garden and obviously much smaller than it. Something that can help new players know where to tend and where to steer clear of are the "Tend Here" and "Hands Off" Signs. Buy these from the Market for 2 Horseshoes a piece and put them in the appropriate spots on your homestead to let players know what's OK to touch.
And that's about it. Follow these simple steps and you'll be well on your way to being the most beloved pioneer out there. Well, at least to your newbie entourage.
