Richer Graphics for an amazing gaming experience, power packed easy to use ‘quick apps’ like Advanced task killer, Most used or Recent apps, upgraded gallery, email and YouTube video viewing features makes the newer Android versions all the more desirable.

FarmVille (FV) is a real-time farm simulation  game developed by Zynga, available as an application on the social networking website Facebook and through their own Zynga Farmville Website.

Farmville today has over 80 million users worldwide and the number is only increasing.

Zynga has created a game larger than life, an idea cloned from Slashkey‘s very own Farm Town. But today, FV has surpassed every other possible game across the globe on such a wide platform. The magic is the amazingly enormous regular updates in the form of holiday related celebrations, applications, freebies, gifts, social gifts and so much more.

Gameplay:
Create a Farmer (Male / Female) Avatar: Use the default 6 plots of land and start your farming.

As the game grows, your level grow, you get to buy more stuff for your farm from the MARKET like, seeds, animals, decorations,trees, buildings, expand farm etc. and earn Higher Experience points (XP) with more harvesting and plowing and increase your FV coins or cash through more levels. One can even buy actual FV cash from Zynga by paying through online funds transfer.

With more levels, more market purchases, visiting others and helping others farms, achieving more ribbons etc. the game goes on and on with levels around 70+

Farmville Harvest

Today Farmville is undoubtedly one of the most popular games in the world wherein Microsoft‘s MSN games has also launched FV to it’s website where users can login using their FB connect.

Happy Farming.The power of social gaming is here!

Grand Theft Auto – Chinatown Wars

An ultimate feast for gamers from Rockstar games.

Ratings: 9.7/10

Rockstar Games GTA Chinatown wars

The Beginning:

Huang Lee, the spoiled son of a recently murdered Triad boss, arrives by plane in Liberty City with Yu Jian, a sword that Huang’s father won in a poker game and has decided to use as an heirloom, to deliver it to the new patriarch of the family, Huang’s uncle Wu “Kenny” Lee

Few Really Superb Features and plus points:

Few of the super cool features are:

• That the game uses a fully rotatable aerial camera angled down at the action.
• It is still possible to flip cars or set them on fire. The player is unable to pilot any of the helicopters in the game, but he can still see the ones flying above him
• The game has a lengthy story, loads of optional activities, and fun multiplayer modes.
• A wannabe reporter giving in the news feeds to us
• Superb Sound Track
• Also, unlike Grand Theft Auto IV, the player can disable as many cop cars as possible to escape the police instead of leaving from a wanted zone. The catch being, the more stars a player has, the more cops they have to take out for each level.
• Chinatown Wars is the first game in the series to let you replay any mission that you’ve beaten previously in an attempt to achieve a higher score or a faster time
• Also, you can connect to the Rockstar Social Club, upload your in-game stats to the site’s leader-boards & unlock few of the action-packed bonus missions to play, of course that’s after you’ve beaten the main story.
• Superb additional feature in the missions, is the “trip skip” option that, if you choose to retry an eligible mission immediately after failing it, lets you bypass the road trip at the start of the mission and get right back into the action that killed you on your last attempt.
• In addition to local multiplayer support, Chinatown Wars offers Wi-Fi functionality

It’s undoubtedly one of the best GTA games yet.

Available for:

Phone and iPod Touch version (Fall 2009)
