Do You Really Need a Guide For FarmVille?

Friday, May 21st, 2010

I consider myself to be relatively well educated in the latest generation of social networking site games like Mafia Wars, Vampire Wars, and such. That's why when I started to see these FarmVille guides popping up all over the place I was kind of surprised. I mean, I can see why people might need some tips to get going in games like Mafia Wars, but FarmVille?

At this point though I hadn't actually played the game, but I didn't really think it could be all that complicated. I figured I should give it a shot though, just so that I could say I knew what I was talking about. And I was in for a rather big surprise. In no time, I was out of money and had no crops to plant. I have to admit, there way more to this game than I had anticipated. (more...)

How to Level Up Quickly in Farmville

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

There are more and more people joining the ranks of FarmVille every day. No one can get enough of this game and there are plenty of reasons why. In FarmVille, you can get away from the noise and stress of everyday life. Just relax, plant some seeds, harvest some crops – not a bad way to spend an evening. And as you do this, you'll naturally advance in levels over time.

There may come a time, though, when you want to get a little more out of the game. Every time you move up a level, you unlock new seeds, decorations, and other discretionary items. This means that in order to get the most out of your FarmVille experience, you'll have to level up quickly to unlock as many items and bonuses as you can. (more...)

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

Social city is a game on facebook was you are the mayor of a city. You buy and build stuff from basketball courts to megacorp towers.

The factory’s get you money so that’s why you should get as much as possible. The higher level you go up the more factories’ you can buy. There is a contract were you pick something such as stuffed teddies or motor bikes and the in the time that you have to wait it will start making them. When they’re ready you get money from them and start all over again. (more...)

Restaurant City – Sleeping Bears, Penguins, Fires and more

Sunday, November 8th, 2009

I love the new changes to Restaurant City this week and they allow you to collect more coins with these changes too which is always good.

You will notice now that when you visit your friends restaurants you will find something strange and something that you will earn money for if you fix it.  There are sleeping bears, penguins, skunks, fires, mushrooms taking over the garden, water leaks and more.

These add for a bit of fun as well as the ability to gain coins is great.

Restaurant City – Goodbye Halloween

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

This week saw the end of the Halloween decorations and foods, although if you have learned the halloween dishes you can still keep leveling them up.  I managed to get all four learned so I will be able to keep going and leveling them all up.

This week there are a few new decorations including an 'orange' table (literally looks like a slice of orange, not just orange in color) and an orange chair.  A Kiwi fruit table and a green chair to match.  There are also a few other bits and pieces including for outside a seal with a ball.

My Mum has reached level 32 on Restaurant City which is the highest level you can reach.  So she can't really do much more other than level up foods and buy furniture and decorations.  I'm not sure if they will add any new levels in the future but for the moment it just goes up to level 32.

Restaurant City – Facebook – Now 9 Employees

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

Changes, changes, changes - Restaurant City on Facebook is always full of surprises.

Previously, I could be wrong but I believe the maximum number of employees you could have was 8, now it has gone up, we now have 9 employees.  I don't know if there will be anymore or if 9 is the maximum.

9 employees is good, although that is more people to feed, the cost of keeping your employees healthy can get quite high.  It gets a bit frustrating when you earn all this money and then half of it goes on giving your employees health.  Oh well, such is life, all is good.

Restaurant City – Halloween Special

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

Restaurant City on Facebook has a few more changes today. When Restaurant City is first loading you might notice the bats on the screen. It's Halloween month and Playfish have added some Halloween features.

There is a new dish in each food category and they are halloween dishes. These dishes can only be leveled up for the next 3 weeks after which time you wont be able to level them up. So if you want to get the Halloween dishes work hard over the next couple of weeks to get them up to level 10 or you wont be able to after the 3 weeks are up.

The other halloween additions are in the redecorating area where there is a Gothic Divider and a Jar of Eyes. These are also available for a limited time so grab them quick if you want them. There are also a number of decorative items for outside for the halloween theme, some of them look really cool.
