Restaurant City Almost Famous Week
This Thursday, Restaurant City is giving players everything they need to roll out the red carpet for a parade of Hollywood stars. And here's a twist -- all your celebrities are going to sport food monikers that are playful puns of their original names.
Restaurant City 'Almost Famous' Stars
Angelina Jelly, Bread Pot, and Julienne Morsel are obviously Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, and Julianne Moore. And boy, Johnny Dough certainly resembles Johnny Depp. But Robert Pancakes has me completely stumped. (Any takers?) All five of them count as outdoors decor though, so they'll only be available outside your restaurant.
Restaurant City Brittany Spearmint and Lady Cocoa
Indoors, we've got Brittany Spearmint and Lady Cocoa, an obvious rip on Brittany Spears and Lady Gaga. But there's one more -- Greg The Tasteful Dancer. Someone more celebrity-savvy is going to have to figure out Greg for me -- the only Greg I know is the Games.com - The Blog's über boss. Anyway, prices for this new decor set won't be announced until the set's release, which is less than two days away.

Playdom launches Pet Resort alongside Purina
Purina Pet Resort
Yesterday, Playdom quietly launched their next title, called Pet Resort. This game is a branded game with Purina (the largest manufacturer of dog and cat food in the United States) and takes elements of pet raising games like Pet Society and tycoon/resort style social games such as Tiki Resort. Pet Resort puts you in charge of taking care of the dogs and cats who visit your resort. The main mechanic of the game is filling your dog and cat food bowls to make sure your guests are well fed. Of course, like most other games there is the element of decorating - you are given a large resort and tons of decorations to purchase for it.
Pet Resort has a different art style than many of their games, and at this point it looks different enough that it could possibly have been the work of one of their recent acquisitions. It does have the familiar Playdom polished feel, however, and seems like it will be a fun game once more of my friends are playing it. It isn't immediately apparent if the game is ready for prime time, as Playdom are not yet cross-promoting the game to their other applications. It feels very feature complete however; it has snapshotting, achievements, gifting, many unlockable items going up to level 40+, and allows you to buy Pet Resort Cash.

Kingdoms of Camelot hoists flags in the shop
Kingdoms of Camelot flags
We don't talk a lot about Kingdoms of Camelot here on the blog, but it isn't because it isn't popular.

In Kingdoms of Camelot, players have a Court that they can decorate any way they wish, and now there is the option to purchase flags. These flags will also display by your name in chat, so it is a good way to indicate where you're from when talking to complete strangers in the game. Each of the flags costs around 20 gems (or around $2.00 each) aside from a couple which are on sale for half price. Here is the list of new flags in Kingdoms of Camelot:

Wild Ones' Platypus washes away the competition [video]
How many egg-laying mammals do you know? Perhaps you know a few: the platypus and echidna for example. Now, how many egg laying mammals do you know that can fire nuclear missiles, toss cows, and summon tidal waves on command? I only know of one, and that's Wild Ones' new battle-ready, members-only Platypus.
Continue reading to see the Platypus' special ability in action and to find out how you can get this bizarre fighter.
The Platypus' special ability is similar to a tidal wave. Only in real life, tidal waves always recede back out to sea after wreaking havoc on land. I think this special ability would be best described as a tidal wave mixed with a flood. The Platypus can summon a wave that fills the battle field with water, which then sits there for the remainder of the fight, drowning anyone who is foolish (or unlucky) enough to dive in.
wild ones platypus
To get your mitts on your own Platypus, you're going to need some serious funds. Not only do you need to be a Wild Ones member costing you five dollars a month, you need to complete a collection akin to the one needed for the Poison Cloud (pictured above). One commenter on the Wild Ones Facebook fanpage expressed his distress over his having to spend about $35 to finally complete the collection and receive his Platypus.
But he will certainly be rewarded, rewarded with animal-drowning flood-inducing tidal wave duck-billed powers that is. Head to Wild Ones to check it all out for yourself.

Google pays $182 million for SuperPoke Pets! creator Slide
Slide, the social gaming company behind SuperPoke Pets! (and the whole throwing sheep trend in the early days of Facebook) has purportedly been snapped up by Google for $182 million. The official announcement is expected to be made on Friday.
spp pets slide
For anyone who has been questioning whether Google's recent investment in Zynga means the search giant is making a play for the social gaming space, it's safe to say the answer is a definite 'yes.' Rumors say that Google is planning to launch a Facebook competitor called 'Google Me' and, well, looks like they'll have plenty of social games in tow.
Slide's roster of games includes SuperPoke Pets!, SPP Ranch, Top Fish, SuperPocus Academy of Magic and apps include Fun Space, Top Friends and, the Facebook classic, SuperPoke! Wonder what the Google overlords have in store for these games, as in, how many of these will stick around and which ones -- if any -- will get shut down? In the Wild West of social gaming -- all these acquistions and mergers don't necessarily bode well for less popular games (remember Ponzi Inc?) and the people who have sunk time (and money) into them.

FrontierVille Hay Fever seizes the wild west with poopcarts and more
frontierville hay fever items
FrontierVille has unloaded a batch of new farm related tech with their new Hay Fever item update. In addition to the infamous Double Rainbow written about earlier, thirteen awesome items (some more awesome than others) were released.
These decorations, while lacking in function, certainly deliver in the form department. The three different colored poopcarts are quite exquisite. Not to mention, I know how badly some readers have desperately wanted their very own sleeping bear on a cart decoration for months! And rightly so I might add.
Continue reading to see all the new goods including the graceful yet poignant Bear Cart and Poopcarts.
So maybe you're looking to make your FrontierVille Facebook frontier town more realistic. Farms in real life are covered with manure (poop) of all shapes and sizes. Personally, I don't think three colors of poop is quite enough to portray the nuances of realistic manure. Another staple of every farm is hay. The Hay Fever items deliver in this department as well with the Hay Cart, which allows you to boast sneakily to all your friends your farm is a healthy and thriving one. Or if you're trying to depict the struggle of life in the west, the Empty Hay Cart may be more appropriate (for best results, use shanty decor on your buildings).
Also available are the elegant Buggys and the farming equipment. Needless to say there is something for everyone in the Hay Fever update.

Treasure Isle teases Ape of the Ages map
Treasure Isle is up to more monkey business -- teasing a new map called Ape of the Ages, which sounds like it will require several of those green and yellow wrenches shown in the picture above to enter.
From the Facebook fan page:
"Coming soon to an island near you: Apes of the Ages Map. Check out how the primate is holding a monkey wrench. You might need one too or a few. What will it help unlock? Stay tuned."
Treasure Isle recently released another primate-themed island called Monkey Palace, where the goal is to find the treasure on every level with the fewest digs possible. We say this is a winner simply because it has monkeys -- lots of 'em. Who doesn't love monkeys?
