Love Thy CityVille Neighbor

The term 'Love Thy Neighbor' takes on a special meaning in City Ville. Soon after you start expanding your city you'll come to realize that you just can't do it all alone. And, as you can imagine, if you need help running your city, your neighbors probably need help running theirs. So you need to start looking for the red hearts when you visit your neighbors.

City Ville, like most Zynga games, is designed to encourage interaction among the players. You play the game on Face book, which is a social networking site, so they're encouraging you to socialize. And one of best ways to do that is by visiting your neighbors' cities to help them out with little chores, like harvesting their crops or collecting their rents.

One of the most common complaints among hard-core City Ville players has always been that, when you have multiple neighbors visit your city, they're apt to all clicks on the same 5 crops or collect the same 5 rents. Well, a crop can only be harvested one time and you can only collect rent once - or you're going to have some very angry tenants! So, if you have 5 or 6 neighbors all clicking on the same crop or rent, only one neighbor counts and the rest are just wasting energy.

Fortunately, Zynga listened and created the little, red 'Get Help' hearts. Players can use these hearts to mark specific crops or rents they want harvested and when their neighbors visit they know exactly what to do. When each heart is clicked it disappears from view so it won't be clicked on again. This lets each neighbor who visits your city know exactly what you want them to do and it saves the city owner a ton of energy that would otherwise be wasted in duplicate clicks.

Now the problem is getting neighbors to click on those red hearts when they visit each city. How many times do you just open your friend's city and click on the first 5 things you see? Most people do! You need to start expanding the screen so you can see the entire city and look for those red hearts. Otherwise, you're not really helping your friend if you end up clicking on the same 5 spots that some else already clicked on. The next time you go visiting, be a good City Ville neighbor. Take a few seconds to look around and click on the red hearts first

Top 3 Tips To Upgrade Your CityVille

This summer, everyone is looking for tips to help upgrade their City Ville Beach Hotel faster. Zynga certainly has presented us with a great challenge this time around - one that might just take the entire summer to complete. But there are some folks who've already completed their upgrades and moved on to bigger and better things. If you're still trying to get past this challenge, then read on for the top 3 tips to upgrade your City Ville Beach Hotel faster.

Get those businesses placed: You're required to place 5 businesses around your hotel and these businesses need to be placed within the green circle that surrounds the hotel. Get those 5 placed as quickly as possible, even if you have to move them from another part of your city.

But don't stop at five. The businesses around your hotel are what help attract tourists to the area and a good number of those tourists will want to check in for the night. Place as many businesses as you can within that circle and place a few more just outside. Each time you upgrade your hotel, that circle of influence expands. If you already have the businesses in place you'll be one step ahead and those additional businesses will help increase the tourist traffic in the area of your hotel.

Gather up your supplies: For each upgrade you'll need a certain number of items and you'll need to get those items from your neighbors. You can see the items you'll need by clicking on the Upgrade tab inside your hotel. Don't wait until the last minute to start rounding them up. Start sending out requests right now so that when you've reached the required number of harvests you'll have everything you need to just click the button and upgrade.

Manage your energy: In order to keep the tourist traffic moving in the area of your hotel, you'll need to keep all of those businesses stocked or the tourists will go elsewhere to shop. Keeping all of those businesses stocked means harvesting plenty of crops - which mean spending extra energy. Plant long-term crops that yield higher goods and start stocking up a few silos or storage buildings - you're going to need it. And the best businesses to place around your hotel are those that use at least 130 or 140 Goods before you have to restock again.

Following these tips will help you upgrade your City Ville Beach Hotel faster and, once you do, you'll really start to see the coins come in

About Minecraft

A talented developer called Markus Person is the man behind Mine craft; the indie sandbox building game. He created Mine craft in May 2009. If you don't know what Mine craft is, then I suggest you do a video search for Mine craft Worlds, and you'll soon get an idea of what the game is about - basically you can build anything you desire by destroying and placing blocks of various different materials. Mine craft can be played online and offline, the game simulates both the day-time and night-time, during the night-time mode monsters appear, so make sure you have the safety of a fortress built to ensure you remain protected! With well over 2 million people having now bought a Mine craft account, it's clearly a great game!

Mine craft is all about construction, that's what you do throughout the game. You will find that the Mine craft world is built of lots of cubical blocks on a fixed grid pattern, representing a number of different materials, including glass, stone, dirt, water and wood. The avatar that you play as has a pickaxe, which allows him to destroy these blocks, as well as lay new ones. There are no restrictions on where your avatar can move around in the Mine craft world, but, blocks, items and objects are only allowed to be placed at their relative spots on the game grid.

Although Mine craft is still in beta development, you can still purchase a copy for $25, but, if you don't have $25 to spare, you can actually get yourself a free Mine craft account in exchange for filling out a couple of short surveys from different websites. It doesn't take too long to do (you could do it in 30 minutes).

As with most games these days, Mine craft has a multiplayer version and a single player version.

Mine craft is a game that any gamer should consider. If you haven't got a Mine craft account yet, then get one, it's worth it, if you don't have the spare funds then get a free Mine craft account from a site like the one I mentioned earlier, just complete a few short surveys and you get your free Mine craft account. The game is this popular for a reason! Explore your creative side, build your own world, your imagination is the only limitation.

Now, many people have asked me how these websites are able to give mine craft accounts away for free, and the answer is simple really - they're not. They get paid for the surveys you complete, and then they use this money to purchase your Mine craft account, so you get a free account, and they earn a few bucks too. Simple!

After you've earned your free Mine craft account, if you find that you like the idea of completing surveys for free stuff, then keep earning! That same website allows you to exchange your points to redeem vouchers to spend at online shops, as well as free steam games, vouchers to eBay, Argos, Amazon, all for free. Sure, it might take half an hour of your time to complete enough surveys to earn your free game, but I would bet my last dollar that you will play that game for a lot longer than 30 minutes!

On a final note... make that search for "Mine craft worlds", after checking out a few videos you're bound to want in, and you know where to go to get your free account!

Triple Triad

Triple Triad is a card game that originates from the PlayStation game Final Fantasy 8. It is a game that involves strategy, planning, and a little bit of luck. A different combination of rules can be implemented to make the game quite a bit different depending on the set of rules. Since the game can range from very complex to quite simple, it attracts people from all kinds of ages.

The goal of the game is to have more cards at the end than your opponent. You play on a three by three board and each opponent has five cards. Depending on the rules that you're playing with, you can take your opponents cards in a variety of different ways. Each card has four numbers on it. There is a top number, bottom number, left number, and right number. The base rule, known as the power rule, means that if you place down a card and your corresponding number is higher than theirs, you would temporarily take that card. It may seem complicated, but it's actually very quite simple once you start playing it!

I personally spent hours upon hours playing Triple Triad instead of going through the plot line in Final Fantasy 8. There are new cards that you can discover that are secretly hidden though out the game. It was a ton of fun seeing just how many cards I could collect. In the game, it would also allow you to change the cards into something useful, such as healing potions or special magical powers. But in reality, the game was so much fun, I simply played it because I thought it was challenging. Trying to beat the AI opponent was quite the challenge at times, and you continually altered your strategy.

At times, I'd have my brothers and sisters all watching me play Triple Triad, giving me suggestions on which move to try next, and although it would sometimes get a little heated, we would all celebrate together after each victory. It's also a lot of fun to compare your own strategy with the strategy of friends. Different minds definitely have a variety of ways of winning. A lot of the game uses math, so those who are good with numbers will be especially good at this game. But there is also a lot of creativity involved, and if you don't look several moves ahead, you'll find yourself on the defeated end quite often.

WoW Has Made the Game Even More Fun

With the new Cataclysm expansion by World of War craft a new profession has been added, Archeology. By adding archeology Wow has enabled the players to uncover clues and pieces of the World of War craft’s intricately conceived and orchestrated history, improving the overall game play experience. Other secondary professions allow the player to gain buffs or enhance other skills. Archeology does not typically result in a buff or a skill enhancement. However, once a high level has been reached there is an opportunity to unearth rare and powerful items. While not terribly expensive it is time consuming to reach a high level in the Wow professions.

Like most Wow professions Archeology is first learned in the capital from a profession trainer. Archeology must be learned in major cities. Unlike other Wow professions there are no trainers in the sticks. This can certainly put some wear and tear on ye olden hearthstone as a player will have to use it every time they want to improve their skill or purchase supplies. In archeology, War craft only requires that the player purchase a few supplies like a shovel to start. To begin with only a few archeology Wow sites will be available to the player, but this will increase as greater levels are attained. This profession is level adjusted. If the player goes to an area before they reach the proper level they will not be able to see any new sites until the proper level is reached.

The Wow Archeology map will not show up on the mini map. It can only be seen on the continent map. The player will have to go to the general area indicated on the continent map and then use the survey skill they have previously learned to find the appropriate spot to begin digging. A red indicator means the player is still too far away. Yellow means they are getting closer. Green means it's time to stick the shovel in the dirt and get to digging. Each dig will gain the player a profession point. There are up to three points to be gained from each site.

Man players choose to use an archeology add-on. These are fairly common in other Wow professions and archeology is no different. The archeology assistant is one such add-on that will provide a list of dig sites, the level they must be completed in, and how to get there. Archly is another add-on that provides a similar list. With archeology Wow has introduced a unique and fun aspect to the game.
