FarmVille Unicorn Island - Everything you need to know


Over the weekend, we discovered a set of Unicorn Island animals and building materials that had mysteriously appeared in the FarmVille marketplace, and tonight they have in fact been given a purpose. That's right, Unicorn Island is now current to build on your farm(s)! While the Unicorn Island could appear quite daunting, it can ultimately be thinking of as a general animal storage habitat, like to the Dino Lab. That is, you will require to collect building materials to construct the Unicorn Island, which may then be used to store unicorns in your game.

The first stage of Unicorn Island needs 30 building materials 10 Enchanted Blossoms, 10 Rainbow Clovers and 10 Hearts of Gold. These items are earned by asking your friends to send them to you, or by purchasing them with Farm Cash. You can also claim these items for free on the wall posts shared by your friends as they also work on completing their many own Unicorn Islands.

When you have completed the construction of your Unicorn Island, you will be able to store 20 unicorns inside it. You will be able to harvest Unicorn Island once per day to gain mastery points and coins relating to the animals stored within, but the main draw is the {ability|skill} to collect gems. Similar to the DNA of the Dino Lab feature, these gems can be combined to receive new kinds of unicorns in your game! Different types of unicorns produce different colors of gems, so it is worth keeping all of the unicorns you could create,  even if they are duplicates.

There are multiple unicorns and gem combinations available within Unicorn Island, and here's a complete look at the different formulas, straight from Zynga.

Mobage's Marvel - War of Heroes coming this fall to iOS and Android








Late last week, DeNA / Mobage and Hasbro announced a partnership that will see Transformers Battle being released on iOS and Android devices later this fall, but that is not the only mobile card-battle game that DeNA and Mobage have up their collective sleeves. Announced just this morning is Marvel: War of Heroes from the people at Mobage and Marvel Entertainment. Marvel: War of Heroes will be similar to Transformers Battle in that players will be able to gather hundreds of cards with varying rarities and then get them to battle against real and computer controlled opponents.

There'll be hundreds of cards available at launch, containing both heroes and villains inside the Marvel universe, and that choice will be expanded after the game's initial release. Also, players will be given unique incentives to combine specific characters based on real combinations that have happened in the various Marvel universe storylines. For instance, a unique power will apparently unlock when players combine the forces of Black Widow and Captain America.

With character art drawn by real Marvel artists and a completely original storyline, along with world events that will continue to expand on the stock gameplay experience, Marvel fans should have no problem finding fun in War of Heroes. In addition, fans that are excited for launch may head to a new website for the game where they can register to earn a unique, exclusive rare card when the game in fact launches. Click here to do just that, and remain tuned for more on Marvel: War of Heroes as we get closer to launch this fall!

FarmVille Mystery Game (08/05/12) - Australian animals come to the farm






In keeping with the new Australian item theme that has launched in FarmVille's marketplace, farmers can now earn in fact more Australian themed animals for their farm(s) by playing this week's Mystery Game. This week's theme offers six (technically seven) new animals at a price of SİXTEEN Farm Cash per dart thrown at the board. Here's this week's lineup of prizes, according to FarmVille Freak.

Bridled Wallaby
Echidna
Male Ostrich
Spotted Cucus
Waler Horse
White Belly Sea Eagle

If you can win one of every of the above 6 animals, you will take a unique seventh prize, the Rose Cockatoo, at no additional cost. Remember, this item is not really "free," unless you have earned all 6 of the above prizes with free Mystery Game Darts, and it could end up being quite expensive if you are really paying to play. What's more, you will probably end up with duplicates of the first 6 prizes as you try to earn one of each. We wish you the best of luck if you are going after the Rose Cockatoo for your farm!

CityVille Twix Promotion - Everything you need to know




If you watch a lot of TV, you heve probably spotted the "right and left" Twix commercial for Twix candy bars. In it, we view a rivalry between the right Twix bar and the left Twix bar, and that identical rivalry has now come to our cities in CityVille. Through this new branded promotion, you may now build to different Twix factories in your town, with each costing just 5,000 coins.

These factories serve as businesses, requiring 100 Goods each to operate. You will receive just 500 coins in profits each time those Goods are used, but since you may have both running at once, the numbers are of course doubled. Via this new promotion, these businesses will be available until August 17, and if you can earn 20 points of mastery for each factory, you will receive unique decorative statues that give off an 18% bonus payout to surrounding items.

At the end of this promotion, these 2 Twix factories will both transform into 2 individual, basic candy factories, so these limited edition decorations are the only pieces that will remain. If you like having branded items within your town permanently, you will require to master both of these factories to earn these rewards. Good luck earning them in time!

What do you think of these two Twix factories in CityVille? Will you build one or both? Sound off in the comments!

Angry Birds join Intel in branded ultrabook adventure on Facebook



Never squawk at the power of Angry Birds. Rovio, Intel and moble promotion firm Jumptap have all joined forces to carry to you Angry Birds Ultrabook Adventure. A full-blown Intel-branded Facebook game powered by Rovio's acclaimed game franchise, this is a 10-level romp via the insides of one of Intel's ultrabook laptops in the same vein of Angry Birds Friends.

"Our top priority is to surprise and delight our fans," Rovio Mighty Eagle and CMO Peter Vesterbacka said in a release. "The game is a great way to experience all the fun of Angry Birds in a brand new environment, inspired by Intel's spectacular new technology."

Just like Angry Birds Friends, Angry Birds Ultrabook Adventure offers leaderboards on every level for players to compare their scores with that of their friends on Facebook. Of course, it would not be a branded experience without a good dose of content from the brand in question, so do not be surprised by the Intel logos everywhere and other content. This branded game marks the start of a year-long partnership among the 3 companies, so wait plenty more where this came from.

CityVille Jumbo Port: Everything you need to know



Your waterfront in CityVille is likely a pretty crowded place, filled with docks and ports for all sorts of boats, both for earning Goods or for bringing in tourists, but you may now luckily save very a bit of space by building a Jumbo Port, a bigger structure that serves as multiple Cruise / City Ports in one! Once you have reached Level 20, you can build one of these Jumbo Cruise Ports, which can be upgraded to eventually hold the equivalent 25 Cruise Ships. Here's a complete look at its construction.

For the beginning Jumbo Cruise Port, you will require to spend five energy to complete its base, and must then ask your friends for building materials to finish it off:

    4 Green Hawaiian Shirts
    4 Blue Hawaiian Shirts
    4 Yellow Hawaiian Shirts
    4 Red Hawaiian Shirts
    4 Orange Hawaiian Shirts


These items are earned via a combination of general news posts and individual demands sent out to friends. When you have gathered all of these materials, you will have a Jumbo Port that can hold just four ships. You can send these ships to five different locations, ranging in price from 5000 Goods to 125 City Cash, and can then start upgrading the Jumbo Port to hold even more Cruise Ships and tourists. The upgrades are earned by simply collecting more and more Hawaiian Shirts, in larger quantities each time.

Here's the breakdown of how many ships a Jumbo Port will hold, based on level.

    Level 1: 4 Ships
    Level 2: 10 Ships
    Level 3: 16 Ships
    Level 4: 20 Ships
    Level 5: 25 Ships


Hopefully, this Jumbo Port will offer you city enough productivity to save on waterfront space, allowing you to take advantage of any other features that utilize that space in the future. Good luck on upgrading this Jumbo Port to its highest level, a task that is much easier said than done!


What do you think of the Jumbo Port in CityVille? Will you delete your older Cruise Ports in favor of just having this one building? Sound off in the comments!
