FarmVille English Countryside Sneak Peek: Decorations galore revealed

While heavy, fairly supported rumors have been circling for the past 48 hours concerning the imminent launch of the English Countryside in FarmVille, we've been told by FarmVille Community Manager Grimwell that the update will not be happening tonight. However, that doesn't mean that we can get even more excited for the upcoming expansion by looking at a slew of new content that will be available in the game.

We have an absolute treasure trove of decorative items to share with you, all of which will apparently be available (and only available) in the English Countryside expansion. Via the large picture at the top of this post, you can see there are all sorts of vehicles, statues, and various other goodies to purchase/receive through other means. From left to right in the image above, we have: Double Decker Bus, an unnamed classic vehicle, the Motorbike, Sportscar, English Balloon, English Airplane, Police Box, Wooden Bench, Venus Duck, Caesar Goat, Discus Cow, Gold Sheep Statue, Wooden Fence, Pub Sign, Potted Flowers and a Butler Gnome.

With so many vehicles / modes of transportation being in this set, it seems likely that this will be one of the collections in the upcoming English Countryside Wishing Well. Additionally, keep in mind that the names of some of these items may chance as they are officially released.

We'll make sure to give you all of the details about these decorative / English Countryside items as they become available in the game.

FarmVille Scotland Decorations Sneak Peek: Violet Fountain, Scottish Mansion, Purple Martin and more

We've come across a whole slew of unreleased items in FarmVille, which we believe will be launching in the game as early as this weekend. Most of these items appear to come in the current Scottish theme of limited edition items, and we believe that three of these nine items will be separated into this week's Mystery Game (as purple looks to be the theme).

The new items are the Purple Martin, Lavender Garden, Violet Fountain, Scottish Thistle Flowerbed, Scottish Bridge, Scottish Fence and the Scottish Gate. Remember, it's likely that the Purple Martin will be one of the many decorative bird pairs that are just that - decorative, and aren't able to earn a profit for you on your farm. As for the fencing, that will likely cost anywhere from 5,000 coins to 10,000 coins for a single piece, so you'll be able to create an entire themed area on your land using these items for relatively cheap.

We'll make sure to let you know when these items officially launch in the game and how you can add them to your farm, so keep checking back.

What do you think of these Scottish decorations? Do you think this week's Mystery Game will be purple in theme?

FarmVille GagaVille Animal Sneak Peek: Gaga Horse, Hair Sheep, Crystal Sheep

If you're a fan of purple, outlandish FarmVille animals, crystals, or just Lady Gaga in general, that you're set to love the set of items coming to GagaVille last this month. We've come across a set of unreleased animals that combine all of those things and more. There's a horse and foal, along with two sheep here that are so darn cute / outlandish that my wallet is already starting to cry from all of the Farm Cash they'll likely cost.

First and foremost, it looks like there will be a horse named after Gaga herself. The Gaga Horse will most likely be made available for Farm Cash in the store, while the Foal can presumably be bred in the same way as all others, by simply using the Horse Stable. Meanwhile, the other two animals are the Hair Sheep (whose hairstyle reminds us a lot of Elvira) and the Crystal Sheep, which really needs no explanation. The only thing I can say is that I want one - aw heck, I want 12!

The only thing that's worrying about these animals is that they will likely cost more Farm Cash than we're used to, simply due to their incredibly exclusive / cross-branding nature. Hopefully, Zynga will pleasantly surprise us and release these items for close to those prices that we're used to (say, 24-26 Farm Cash for the Gaga Horse and 12-16 Farm Cash per Sheep), but if not, don't say I didn't warn you.

What do you think of these Lady Gaga-inspired animals? Have you jumped on the hype train for all things GagaVille, or are you going to stick to your regular, "normal" farm?

FarmVille GagaVille Sneak Peek: Gem Tree, Crystal Fountain, Lady Gaga Costume and more

Heads-up little monsters! It looks like the Lady Gaga-themed "GagaVille" set of items in FarmVille is going to be a rather large one, if this recent set of unreleased images is anything to go by. There are two trees, some decorations, and even two avatar costumes that will apparently be coming to the game later this month, and we've got all of those image here for you to gaze upon until they're actually available in the store.

The two trees are the Gem Tree and Giant Gem Tree. While they are in no way realistic, they're very pretty and I can't wait to add one of each (or more) to my farm(s). As for the decorations, there's a Chrome Black Roses Flowerbed and a Crystal Fountain. Finally, to dress up your avatar, you can purchase either the Gaga Glasses, or a male or female version of the Lady Gaga Costume. The names of the two costumes may be placeholders right now, as we expect each to be given a more specific name upon their final release.

With all of these items, plus some unreleased animals, this GagaVille promotion is shaping up to be one interesting event! We'll make sure to bring you more coverage about GagaVille as we know more, so keep checking back.

What do you think of these new decorations? Will you dress your in-game avatar up as Lady Gaga?

FarmVille Sneak Peek: Sheep getting Pig levels treatment soon

Soon, you'll be able to power up your Sheep just like your Pigs in FarmVille. It's about time Zynga released the Sheep progression tree, and according to FarmVille Feed, that will be very soon. The fan site reports that Sheep progression will be essentially identical to how Pigs leveled up, and your Sheep Pen capacity will increase by 50.

However, FarmVille Feed points out that this doesn't exactly add up with the overall limit of 100 Sheep on the farm. The news has revealed some fancy new Sheep patterns as well, including the previously-released Level 30 pattern. The new Sheep Breeding progression should be here soon considering all this artwork has been made available. So, sit tight and you'll be able to power up your Sheep in no time.

Are you psyched to finally get to level up your Sheep like you did with Pigs? What do you think of the brand new patterns?

FarmVille Sneak Peek: Craftshop Mastery signs revealed

FarmVillle Craftshop Mastery signs
Now that Zynga has made some long-awaited optimizations to the brand new Craftshop in FarmVille, it's time we move on and start making the good stuff. For that extra kick in the behind, FarmVille Feed has uncovered a list of Mastery signs for the recipes, including some fresh arrivals.

There are a total of 25 recipes to master, and each one will add a nifty sign to that micro-farm of wooden idols you've cultivated over the years. The unreleased images even reveal some potentially new recipes like a Horse Statue, and even a full-blown house. Well, color us excited for the new upcoming source of bragging rights, and kind of scared for the room we'll need to make.

FarmVille Sneak Peek: Flower Mini Horses--My Little Pony hits the farm

We think Zynga is missing out on a huge marketing opportunity right here. The developer will soon release Flower Mini Horses to FarmVille, and they're almost a spitting image of my sister's My Little Pony toys that I used to break with my G.I. Joe figures as a kid. (Hey, we all gotta keep the bratty little brother persona in those tender years.)

The upcoming horse also has a Foal model, through we're curious as to why since the thing is so tiny and cute already. FarmVille Feed estimates that this new horse might be part of a currently unreleased feature, the Raffle Booth. But we have a hunch that Farm Cash will be involved ... somehow. Have your plastic at the ready.
