Tonight's FarmVille update (released early due to the upcoming Memorial Day holiday) saw the launch of the limited edition Ireland item theme. With this release, we see the launch of seven new buildings and decorations in the game's store. The two new buildings are the Irish Farmhouse and the Irish Cottage. The Irish Farmhouse - the more visually impressive of the two items - goes for 30 Farm Cash, while the Irish Cottage costs 300,000 coins.
Both of these buildings will reward you with 3,000 experience points for purchasing them, so keep that in mind if you're very close to leveling up and simply don't want to wait to earn those points the old-fashioned way.
Meet us behind the break for a look at the other new items released this afternoon.
For the new decorations, there are two that go for Farm Cash, while the other three cost standard coins. The two Farm Cash items are the Irish Girl Gnome and the Irish Falls (a waterfall item with some lovely rocks surrounding it). The Irish Girl Gnome has the standard gnome price tag of 15 Farm Cash, while the Irish Falls costs 22 Farm Cash.
If you're more in the mood to spend coins, you can pick up a Mossy Bridge for 250,000 coins, a Red Valerian plant for 10,000 coins, or a Foxglove Flowerbed (a bundle of flowers in a dark brown crate) for 7,000 coins.
All of these items will expire from the store in 17 days, with the extra three days allowing those users that didn't expect a Friday update to still have plenty of time to purchase them once things presumably go back to normal next week.
Will you purchase any of these Irish decorations or buildings in FarmVille? Are you tired of the European themes in the game? What other countries would you like to see represented through item themes?

FarmVille Fairy Garden Items: Star Flower Trees, Fairy Cat, Garden Gate and more
The lovely Fairy Garden item theme in FarmVille has grown by quite a bit this evening, as new trees, animals, decorations and more have been launched in the game's store. There are even avatar clothing items here, if you have a few Farm Cash to spend sprucing up your character's clothing. Either way, we won't waste any more time with introductions; let's get straight to our look at these new items!
Trees
Star Flower Tree - 7 Farm Cash
Big Star Flower Tree - 15 Farm Cash
Both of these trees earn their first star of mastery after 75 harvests, and will be ready to harvest every two days (so, they have the same stats as most other recently released trees).
Animals
Fairy Cat - 18 Farm Cash
Fairy Unicorn - 31 Farm Cash
Hold onto something, farmers. Considering how popular Unicorns have been in FarmVille in the past, and how popular fairies are generally, I can definitely see this Fairy Unicorn flying up to the top of the Best Sellers chart in the store, even with its higher-than-normal price tag of 31 Farm Cash. I must admit the Unicorn is very lovely, but whether or not you're willing to pay 31 Farm Cash for a single animal will really be up to you.
Buildings
Green Cottage - 25 Farm Cash
Mossy Den - 15 Farm Cash
As of this writing, these buildings aren't marked as limited edition, but don't let that fool you - they won't be around for long.
Decorations
Ivy Curve Wall - 8,000 coins
Fairy Roses - 10,000 coins
Fairy Garden - 10 Farm Cash
Garden Gate - 30,000 coins
Flowery Fountain - 15 Farm Cash
If the names don't give it away, the Ivy Curve Wall and Garden Gate form a new kind of fencing for this theme, if the plain Wooden Gates and Fences released previously don't do it for you. Unfortunately, the supply of coin-only items here is rather small, but hopefully we'll see a positive change in that area in the future.
Avatar Clothing Items
Ivy Leaves Crown - 2 Farm Cash
Flower Hat - 5 Farm Cash
Tree Fairy Dress - 10 Farm Cash
With the release of this large set of new Fairy Garden items, we have also seen many of the theme's items reach the two day time limit for availability in the store. For these newest items, you'll have two weeks to purchase them, but don't waste too much time or you may miss out on them entirely! We'll make sure to let you know if more Fairy Garden themed items are released in the future, so keep checking back.
What do you think of the Fairy Unicorn? Do you think a Unicorn is worth 31 Farm Cash? Will you purchase any of these buildings or avatar clothing items?

FarmVille: Provencal Gate, Egg Fence and Franken Bride come back for Farmer Appreciation Week
Ok, forget a "week." This Farmer Appreciation Event in FarmVille has now carried on for longer than that, with three additional re-released (formerly limited edition) items being available in the store for the next few hours. Granted, we're not complaining that Zynga is continuing to spoil players, but with these additional items being released, I suppose I'm just disappointed that the double mastery has finally been turned off.
As it stands, these three items don't really share a theme, but if you're into Halloween (or Easter), you'll want to pay special attention to this trio. Here's a look at the three:
Provencal Gate
Originally Seen: French Chateau Event 2010
Cost: 10,000 coins (formerly 2,500 coins)
XP Gained: 100
Sells for 500 coins
Egg Fence
Originally Seen: Easter Event 2010
Cost: 7,000 coins (formerly 700 coins)
XP Gained: 70
Sells for: 350 coins
Franken Bride (Gnome)
Originally Seen: Halloween Event 2010
Cost: 150,000 coins (formerly 100,000 coins)
XP Gained: 1,500
Sells for: 7,500
To be clear, the stats for the two fences are for individually pieces of each kind of fence. If you want to purchase an entire series of fence items in bulk, your total cost will raise accordingly. Also, these prices are more expensive than when we originally saw these items released, but when you consider the fact that Zynga didn't have to give us this second chance, I'm willing to look beyond a price hike.
As is stands, I'd truly be shocked if we saw additional Farmer Appreciation Week items released in the game, but then again, I'm surprised to see this trio. We'll just leave it with this: If more items are released, we'll be sure to let you know. For now, make sure to purchase any of these items that interest you while you can - they'll only be around until tonight.
What do you think of this trio of re-released items? Will you take your second chance to purchase any of them, or do you already have everything from previous releases?

FarmVille Halloween Items: Cookie Tree, Pumpkin Snowman, Mad Scientist Lab and more
With tonight's FarmVille update, we not only see the release of the new Count Duckula's Castle - a collection event for Tickets as part of the yet-to-be-released "Halloween Ticket Basket," but we also see new items being added to the game's limited edition Halloween item theme. We see some re-released items joining new offerings in this particular update, so let's take a look at everything that's available!
Trees:
Caramel Apple Tree - 5 Farm Cash
Big Caramel Apple Tree - 10 Farm Cash
Halloween Cookie Tree - 8 Farm Cash
Big Halloween Cookie Tree - 14 Farm Cash
If the Caramel Apple Trees look familiar, they should, as they've been available in the game before. This explains their cheaper prices, while the new Halloween Cookie trees come with the now higher pricing for both. Even though some of these trees are re-releases, however, they all share the same mastery stats. All four can be mastered at 75, 150 and 225 harvests for each level, individually for each tree. Remember, there's no reason to purchase the bigger version of each tree either, as the can be earned for free from Mystery Seedlings.
Animals:
Glow Skeleton (Horse) - 26 Farm Cash
Skeleton Sheep - 20 Farm Cash
Ghost Goat - 16 Farm Cash
We knew all three of these items were coming to the game shortly, and luckily, our wait hasn't been very long. What has changed, however, is the Skeleton Horse's name. All three of these animals can be mastered, as you'd expect, while the Glow Skeleton can also produce a matching foal.
Buildings:
Haunted Tree House - 30 Farm Cash
Unfortunately, there are no coin buildings available to go along with this one, but this particular building has some fun details, including a "Spooky Bush" that sits outside the Tree House. If you'll recall, this Spooky Bush was released as a stand-alone item in past Halloween events.
Decorations:
Mad Scientist Lab - 20 Farm Cash
Nightmare Owl - 18 Farm Cash
Pumpkin Fence - 5,000 coins
Creepy Tree - 500,000 coins
Pumpkin Snowman - 20,000 coins
Even though the Creepy Tree is rather expensive, it comes with a glowing, evil face in the trunk, so I'll probably be able to personally justify a purchase of one on at least one of my farms. As for the Pumpkin Fence, this is a re-release, so if you have an area you'd like to separate, but didn't save enough Fence pieces from last year, now's your chance to fill in the holes.
Avatar Costumes:
Pumpkin - 20 Farm Cash
Pirate Male - 10 Farm Cash
Pirate Female - 10 Farm Cash
With this trio, you have two options for fairly generic pirate costumes. The girl's version is black and pink with what looks to be some sort of corset as a top, while the male version is black with accents of red, white and brown. As for the Pumpkin, this one comes with a hat, so if you already have a clever hat, know that you'll need to remove it to get the most out of this (admittedly expensive) costume.
All of these items look to be available in the game's store for the next two weeks. And with this week's release, you'll have a chance of earning a Pirate Gnome if you purchase enough of them. We'll let you know when additional items are released in the Halloween theme before the holiday proper, so keep checking back with us.

FarmVille: Plant Black Tulips for Halloween
If you've already completed Candy Corn and Jack O Lantern mastery in FarmVille's Halloween event for this year, but still want to fill your fields with haunted, spooky crops, you're in luck! A new Black Tulip crop was released in the game this evening, and you'll have a full month to plant (and more importantly - master) it.
The Black Tulip is unlocked already, without requiring Farm Cash, so you have no excuse not to plant it, other than simply not liking the look of the crop itself. Here are the Black Tulip's stats:
Cost: 50 coins per square
XP Gained: 3 per square
Harvest Time: 1 day
Harvests for: 200 coins
While the Black Tulip does give you a ton of XP when planted across a widespread area of land, the fact that you have to wait a full day to harvest (and then plant again) does limit your "leveling up potential." Still, these crops are oddly pretty, for as dark as they are, being more of a dark, navy blue than actual black. Plus, if you're into crop mastery, this one's required to "have them all."
Again, the Black Tulips will be available to grow for the next 29 days (give or take a few hours), so you should have no problem mastering them in full, especially if you plant them across multiple farms. The first star comes at just 410 harvests, so work diligently and you'll have that exclusive mastery sign in no time!

Will you plant Black Tulips on your farms? Do you just want the mastery sign, or will you plant them because they are Halloween in theme?

CityVille Mexican theme expands with Statue of Independence, Cantina and more
As promised, here we are again with news of more Mexican Independence items that have been added to CityVille's store. You know, I honestly thought that this would be a one-time release, but leave it to Zynga to release more items even after the holiday in question has passed (this holiday being the Mexican Independence celebration). There aren't as many items here as in the original release we told you about earlier this week, but there is a new crop here, if you happen to be into that sort of thing.
Statue of Independence (Decoration)
* Costs: 36,000 coins
* Payout Bonus: 12% to surrounding businesses and residences; bonus 12% to Mexican themed items
Cantina (Business)

You'll have 12 days to do your shopping for these new items (the original section of this theme is down to a 10-day time limit), so just make sure to go shopping eventually before these items do actually expire.

CityVille says Viva Mexico! with new Mexican themed items
To celebrate Mexican Independence, Zynga has launched a full theme of Mexican themed items in CityVille this afternoon. These items range from small decorations to large landmarks, so we'll make sure to give you a complete rundown on these items to know what to expect. Keep in mind, while they do have a longer time limit than usual at anywhere from 12-14 days (the usual being a week), they will eventually vanish from the store, so do some shopping sooner, rather than later. Here's what's available:
Ice Cream Cart (Decoration)
* Costs: 5,000 coins
* Payout Bonus: 3% to surrounding businesses and homes; bonus 3% to Mexico themed items
Guerrero Residence (Home)
* Costs: 40 City Cash
* Population: 600-1200
* Rent: 296 coins every 18 hours
Sombrero Store (Business)
* Costs: 6,800 coins
* Requires: 170 Goods
* Supplies: 1,024 coins
Garcia House (Home)
* Costs: 13,500 coins
* Population: 120-240
* Rent: 18 coins every five minutes
Watch Tower (Decoration)
* Costs: 24 City Cash
* Payout Bonus: 24%; bonus 24% to Mexican themed items
Mayan Pyramid (Decoration)
* Costs: 72,000 coins
* Payout Bonus: 12%; bonus 12% to Mexican themed items
* Not Limited Edition!
Morelos Fort (Community Building)
* Costs: 70 City Cash
* Allows: 2,000 citizens added to max population cap
Hacienda de Dolores (Home)
* Costs: 65 City Cash
* Population: 1850-3650
* Rent: 451 coins every 3.1 days
House of Churros (Business)
* Costs: 40 City Cash
* Requires: 305 Goods
* Supplies: 1648 coins
On top of all of this, there's also a Mexico Mystery Crate available for 40 City Cash that contains one of four items: the Morelos Fort, Hacienda de Dolores, Guerrero Residence or House of Churros. Sure, you'd get two items from this crate at a discounted price, but remember that there's no guarantee you won't receive duplicates when purchasing more than one crate. That is, if you're going for both the Hacienda and the Fort, you may very well end up with two House of Churros instead.
Either way, we'll make sure to let you know if other items are added in this Mexican Independence celebration theme, but we wouldn't be surprised if it's a one-time-deal.
What do you think of this new theme of items? Which ones have you purchased for your town and which ones will you skip? Sound off in the comments.
