Happy Aquarium: Walrus Referee and Football Seal join the team
Zack the soccer-playing lion cub is now joined by Russ Referee and Diego the Football Fan in Happy Aquarium. Both Russ and Diego are animated critters that cost premium currency to buy. Russ taps his foot, blinks his eyes, and blows his whistle. While Diego is more like Zack, and carries a hot pink soccer ball on his head with which he performs tricks in the tank.
Russ is also a Limited Edition character, so if you've got 24 Pearls or 20 Facebook Credits (the equivalent of $2 USD), you should grab him ASAP, cause he won't be sticking around the shop forever. You can find him under "Specials!" star tab, under the subcategory "Premium", while Diego is with Zack in the "Tank Mates" tab, and goes for 48 Pearls or 40 FB Credits ($4 USD).
Given the game's recent premium currency increase for leveling up, these characters should now be easily affordable for high-level players.

Tiki Resort: Hire a cabana boy to tend your island
Ringing the icon of a hotel styled desk bell on the left side of your Tiki Resort game will allow you to summon Dan the Automator. Dan is a new game feature that promises to collect money and charms from your attractions, pick up trash, and tend your pets. He comes with a chart that'll let you to see just how much work he's done by how many things he's collected on his shift.
Tiki Resort Dan the Automator Shifts
Dan has two shifts you can set him up on. A 15 min. shift requires 25 Coconut Drink Charms, while a 3-day shift goes for 39 Facebook Credits, or roughly, $4 USD.
Coconut Drink Charms increase the walking speed of your tourists, leading them to visit more attractions, which means they'd spend more. You can buy a set of 50 at the in-game store for 149 FB Credits, which is approximately $14.90 USD. So unless you've got an attraction that generates that charm, the 15 min. shift isn't Dan's best deal for you.

Social City's Gala Raffle: Win past decor and Limited Edition buildings
Players who click the "Build" menu can now participate in Social City's new Gala Raffle to win buildings and decorations that are no longer available in gifts or up for sale at the store. This new feature seemed to have quietly rolled out last week and the response among fans is pretty positive.
Social City's Gala Raffle in the Build icon menu
One excited player described the raffle as "kinda fun, but also kinda dangerous." How? Well, the raffle is divided into three categories. The first category offers Limited Edition attractions and discontinued giftables. The second offers Limited Edition residential buildings. Both of these require City Bucks, or Social City's form of premium cash, to make your spin. The first one requires 8 City Bucks, while the second needs 5. For $4.99 USD, you can get 55 City Bucks. So this is going to cost real world money, and what you get is luck of the draw.
But the third category uses virtual coins to work. Even at 50,000 Coins per spin, it's as good as free. Right now, that raffle's offerings include premium-level Japanese style buildings and the discontinued giftable Sakura Paths.

Happy Pets: Own an Apple Tree for Free Daily Coins and XP
Under the "Goods" tab in the Happy Pets store, there's now a "Harvest" category selling an Apple Tree for 3,750 Coins. Purchasing this tree will gain players 300 XP. The tree itself promises to deliver 125 Coins and 25 XP every 24 hours.
Apples Tree can be placed in the rooms and yards, but not in the attic. If you upgrade using coins, then your tree goes "under construction" for that time period. That means you'll miss those daily bonuses. A new leaf icon on the top of your screen will let you know how many trees you're allowed to palce in an area. This amount is determined by the number of pets you're allowed to have.
A great thing about this tree is that it can be upgraded. Upgrading the Apple Tree to Tier 2 requires 7 days and 7,500 Coins. But if you do, then the tree will earn you 250 Coins and 50 XP every 24 hours. There are 4 Tiers to the tree in all. Check out the handy chart below to see the costs and benefits.
Apple Tree Level
Upgrade Cost Instant Upgrade Cost
Daily Coins & XP Harvest Upgrade Time
Tier 2 7,500 Coins 36 Facebook Credits 250 Coins & 50 XP 7 Days

Wild Ones samurai armor gives players an edge
wild ones samurai armor wild ones samurai helmet
Wild Ones members have exclusive access to the strength of the Bushido with new samurai accessories. When a pet dons all three pieces of gear: flag, armor and helmet, they receive fifteen percent less damage than usual. That is a pretty sizable damage reduction and could easily turn the tides of a high stakes battle.
wild one samurai
For example, if ordinarily an attack would have done 1,000 damage, the samurai armor set would reduce it down to 850 damage. That's pretty legitimate if you ask me.
Unfortunately though, it is only available to members as I said before, which is pretty lame. They could at least let non-members try on the Bushido goodies like you can try on other accessories in the shop. The only other way to get the armor pieces is by finding them in crates by chance. We wish you luck.
Also keep in mind that unless you are wearing all three pieces of samurai gear, the accessories are merely decorative. For the damage reduction to be in effect, you need all three.

Trident White Puzzle Smash: Not bad, for a Facebook advergame
Ever since the Facebook gaming revolution started, companies have been salivating over the prospect of creating a social game that will engage users for five minutes or more, all while bombarding them with all-too-obvious product placement. The old Burger King games for Xbox 360 showed us how this can be a not-so-terrible experience, but the slew of Facebook advergames have been anywhere from dull to downright abysmal.
Now Trident is giving the Facebook advergame thing a go -- and I have to admit -- it's not terrible. The game, called Trident White Puzzle Smash, is a Tetris clone, where you match like-colored blocks which fall from the top of the screen and then destroy them by using White-out smashers and Color Cleaners. (Just like Trident White gets rids of color on your teeth -- get it?). The game is controlled using the arrow keys and the space bar, and as time moves on, the blocks start falling faster, until they stack up to the top of the screen, and it's game over.
Trident's Puzzle Smash includes some light social gaming elements, and I emphasize the word light. You get bonus points for adding friends to your game roster, and there's a living leaderboard at the bottom of the page. You can also post your score on your Facebook Wall for bragging rights (or in my case, to open myself up to mockery).
trident white facebook wall post
Funtank President and Co-Founder Scott Tannen says his company has worked closely with Trident White "on a number of branding initiatives" and that the game "is a true stand-alone social application that we think is really an example of 'Advergaming 2.0.'"
If Advergaming 2.0 means games that are not broken and mildly fun to play, I'd say Tannen and crew are onto something. Trident's Puzzle Smash is far from revolutionary, but once you start playing, you're likely to keep going ... until you realize you've been sucked in by an interactive ad for gum. Now pass me a piece of Trident White.

Treasure Isle new island expansions are Large and Grand
Treasure Isle released two new island expansions for those players who just seem to be continually running out of space. With all the animals, decorations, buildings and items amassed on the travels of a fearless treasure hunter, sometimes there just isn't enough room. We're seen some pretty ridiculous Treasure Isle collections and we can say there are definitely people who have been desperate to secure a bigger island.
Continue reading to find out about pricing.
treasure isle expansions
Bigger is better. Who can argue with that? Trucks, food, and now Treasure Isle islands all embrace the American way.
There are two island expansions. The first, large island, is available for 65,000 coins or 30 Island Cash. Even more gargantuan is the grand island for 80,000 coins or 35 Island Cash. Remember, you can't buy the giant island until you own the large one. So head over to Treasure Isle and expand!

FrontierVille blooms with new colorful flowers
Life in the Wild West is starting to look more civilized every day. Among the thorns, weeds and wildflowers, virtual pioneers can now outfit their property with colorful flowers -- both in pots and the free-growing variety.
frontierville flower pot,
I personally prefer the free-standing flowers over the uber-coloful ones in the pot, but either way, it's nice to get new decor for our newly tamed piece of land.

Mafia Wars big bang: Less than 100K visits before armored truck goes boom
Update (11 p.m.): Mafia Wars will be blowing up an armored truck on Thursday, August 19th at 6:00 pm PST.
Update: The 10 million mark has been reached (!), but still no announcement as to when the truck will be blown up. Stay tuned.
We'll soon see if the Mafia Wars marketing team makes good on the promise -- that after 10 million players logged into play Mafia Wars Las Vegas -- they would drive an armored truck into the Nevada desert, pack it full of dynamite and blow it up.
Right now, the player count is less than 100K away from 10 million -- and it took a little over two weeks to hit this target. That means we can expect the big kaboom to happen relatively soon, and, you'll be able watch it all go down on mafiawars.com.

Happy Pets new Random Cat and the Price of Being Unique
Happy Pets Random Cat notice
Happy Pets Random Cat is unpleasedWow, 150 Facebook Credits for a Random Cat is akin to $15 USD! Can anyone be that determined to own the most unique kitty on Happy Pets? And just to make it clear, the Random Cat isn't as random as you forking over the $15 for whatever appears. You get to click the randomizer as many times as you want until you settle on a kitty that doesn't look like a glop of colorful goo and cobbled together by a mad scientist.
Right now, the jury is out on how good this option is. Because for 150 FB Credits, you can just get a cat with features you do like, and perform your own mix-and-match for free, which is what the game is set up for anyway.
I think Crowdstar would've made more people happy and still made some money if they put the Crowdstar Cat up for sale, instead of re-releasing for free it to promote their Gamebar. (Not that I'm complaining about that! Cause I'm glad I got a second chance at it.) it might even be better if they gave this option for horses or dinosaurs. They're so new, there's currently a dearth of designs for those animals.

InstantJam taps into Rock Band and Guitar Hero lovers on Facebook
Yesterday, our sister site Joystiq reported that InstantAction has just debuted a "Rock Band-style music game" called InstantJam onto Facebook.
We last heard of InstantAction in March, where the company hoped to revolutionize online gaming by giving games the versatility and portability of YouTube videos. InstantAction's embed technology would allow people to play games without the need for logging into games portals or sites like Facebook, in a way similar to how viewers can place and load YouTube videos anywhere on the web.
At the time, the company's passenger for this flagship project was The Secret of Monkey Island™: Special Edition, which set sail on the Facebook seas for $9.99 USD back in April. But now, it seems that InstantAction is sold on developing its own online music game.
But the company isn't exactly blazing a new trail here -- similar games such as Foo Brew's JamLegend and Acclaim's RockFREE were reported closed last week. What InstantJam promises are special features, such as using songs from your computer and synching up with iTunes and Amazon to let you purchase music. You can also hook up a guitar controller to play the game instead of using a keyboard.
Facebook users can click here to check out the game, but be warned, the title is currently in closed beta, so there's a waiting list to get in. For those without Facebook, you can get a visual tour on InstantJam's official website.

Treasure Isle heats up with new Volcano Isles maps
Treasure Isle Volcano Isles map
It has been awhile since Treasure Isle released plain old regular maps, so players should be excited to see that a new set of seven volcano-themed maps have been launched today. These new maps are named the following:
Burning Phoenix - 15 Island Cash
Imp Fort
Old Gem Mine - 10 Island Cash
Phoenix Roost
Jeweled Palace
Fairy Castle - 5 Island Cash
Wrong Turn!
Players will be disappointed to see that three of the new maps require Island Cash to unlock, but that is the nature of these types of games. A post on the Treasure Isle Official Forums has explained that the new maps contain Phoenix Gates that need to be unlocked. These gates can be unlocked by digging up Phoenix Feathers in the Fire God Mountain, or buy purchasing them for 5 Island Cash each. It's interesting that gems don't seem like they will be important in these new maps, especially with the new Gem Mine that has been released.

Coronation Street social game to bring fans of British soap to Facebook
A U.K. soap opera known as "Coronation Street" has been transformed into a social game titled "Corrie Nation," according to British televsion network ATV. The game, set to launch both on Facebook and ITV.com November 1, allows fans of the show to play in a parallel version of their favorite soap opera.
Players will collect up to 60 characters to start with as well as familiar buildings from the series. Like most social games, Corrie Nation will be free-to-play, but will feature paid transactions for virtual goods (sound familiar?). ITV, the British network that has broadcast Coronation Street for 50 years, and developer Enteraction will also introduce advertising and commercial sponsorship into the game to boost revenue, according to ATV.
Kieran Roberts, Creative Director Manchester Drama, said, "We're delighted this brilliantly imaginative new game will take the show onto new platforms whilst remaining truthful to 50 years of heritage and everything viewers love about Corrie."

FrontierVille Missions menu makes it easier to keep track of to-dos
One of the reasons I consider FrontierVille my favorite game on Facebook is because there's always a stream of missions that give you things to do. Until now, however, it's been a little difficult to keep track of them all -- especially since you can have numerous missions going at one time. They would appear and disappear from the left-hand side of the screen at random, so I was always thinking things like "Where did that groundhog mission go? Did I complete it or not?"
Now that problem has been solved as Zynga flips the switch on a new Missions menu that helps you keep track of everything you need to do in-game. You can see what missions you have going by clicking on 'My Stuff' and the clicking on 'Missions.' That will pull up a page (see above) that lists all of your missions. Click on each mission to see what else you need to do to finish.
frontierville missions menu
You can alternately click on the mission icon on the left-hand side of the game (see image below) to pop the menu.

If you're so inclined, you can prioritize missions by reordering them, which will be handy if you've got more Missions in the hopper than I do.

FrontierVille Meal Deal: Sign up to get free meals via email
FrontierVille is presenting an offer we can't refuse -- a free meal delivered to our email inbox daily. This 'meal deal' is a limited time offer and here's how it worked when I signed up.
I went into the game and was notified that I had a letter, which I found sitting in the middle of my property with a giant yellow arrow above it.
I clicked on the letter and received the following pop up, which explains how this deal works. Basically, you'll get a daily email from FrontierVille that will contain a free meal (meals replenish your energy in the game). You have to accept the meals that same day or they will expire.
Not sure how long this meal deal will be around, there's no indication that this will be a long-term or short-term promotion. I also checked my email right after I signed up, and I didn't get an email for today. We'll see how it long it takes for this free meal thing to kick in. After all, I'm a sucker for free food -- real or virtual.

Happy Aquarium: Lady Baba brings her poker face to your tank
In a nod to you-know-who, Happy Aquarium has welcomed Lady Baba to the store. For either 52 Facebook Credits ($5.20 USD) or 62 Pearls, you can have your very own pop icon of the sea, but there are only about 2,600 left as of this writing!
We're calling it now: this one will last for about 37 more seconds, so don't wait. Just don't call her name. Alejandro ruined that for the rest of us.
