FarmVille is another wonderful online game by Zynga that you can play through your social networking sites.  This game is constantly being upgraded and improved as well.  Right now there is a special event going on to commemorate St Patrick’s Day; it has to do with a “Pot of Gold” that you’ll need to pick up from your gift box and place someone on your farm.  Then you can use this “Pot of Gold” to collect all the gold you receive from all your friends.  As of yet, I haven’t placed my “Pot of Gold” out yet.

Another new item that’s been added to FarmVille is the ability for you to go to your gift box, and hit the icon “Make a Wish” so that you can tell your friends which gifts you’re hoping to receive.  It’s really a rather ingenious way to get what you want from the limited “Pot of Gold” game that’s going on right now.  You can opt for a gold bar, gold nuggets, gold bear, gold coin, a gold chain, or a green plume as well as a number of other items you can choose from that isn’t related to this on-going promo.  Who ever thought they’d come up with that idea?  Personally, I used to just ask my friends what items they were interested in, and then I’d tell them what I needed.  Who knew?

Vampire Wars is one of the most awesome online games put out by Zynga.  For those of you interested in playing this online game you can locate it on MySpace or FaceBook; these are two wonderful social networking websites that offer a wide variety of online games by Zynga.  One of the things I find particularly awesome about this game is that the creator of this game is always thinking of new ways to expand your fun while in the game.  Whether it’s by initiating new mission challenges that you need to complete in order to earn special abilities or a simple Avatar limited clothing challenge that enables you to earn unique gear for your avatar while also earning a unique special ability.  Generally these special types of events are time specific.

Right now the current challenge is called 'Undead Legends', and you r goal is to locate a total of 12 individual items for your avatar.  The Limited Edition Avatar sets are from the Hollywood glamour era of James Dean and Marilyn Monroe so they are aptly named the Dean Set and the Monroe Set.  Included in the Dean Set is a pair of shoes, a tie, a shirt, jeans, jacket, and hair.  Then for the Monroe set you have heels, gloves, a necklace, coat, dress, and hair.  So far all I have are the shoes for both sets.  But you need to get started soon because there are only 8 days and a little over 7 hours to accumulate all twelve pieces. 

If you’re able to complete both sets in a timely manner, you’ll earn an Epic Ability – The Epic Circle of Warding.  It’s a defensive ability worth 50 attack and 150 defense points. 

Why does the name Perez Hilton strike a cord of fear into all the rich and famous celebrities’ world wide? Well, it just might have something to do with his infamous website where he blogs about a variety of different celebrities while delving into areas of their lives that they’d rather keep personal.  Generally, his blogs aren’t very favorable ones either; you might want to say he’s more of a “Celebrity Gossip”.

There is a wonderful version of Word Craft located at the following website http://www.greatdaygames.com/games/britannica-trivia.aspx.  In this version of Word Craft the letters come bubbling up out of a witches’ cauldron, and there’s a 5:00 minute time frame involved with as well.  So if you’re looking to beat the other on line gamers playing you need to pay attention to the clock, and just how fast the letters are bubbling up.  If the letters reach the top of the screen it will automatically kick you into the bonus speed round no matter how much time’s left on the clock. 

Then another unique aspect of this version of Word Craft is that they actually combine two different word games into one.  Not only do you have the opportunity to spell out words of your own choosing, but you get to try to spell the magic word that is related to the theme for each level.  If you manage to do this you’ll be rewarded with bonus points.  This can help you jump up to the next level faster.  You level up by reaching a certain score each time.  So far I’ve only managed to reach level three.  I just can’t seem to break into level four. But I’m not giving up yet.  Why not join me online sometime?  My user name is Vampiress44.  Hope to see you there.
