FarmVille Birthday Mystery Box comes to life with sheep as prizes

While FarmVille may have tons of adorable, collectible animals, I have to say I'm probably the biggest fan of the Sheep, with all of their variety and wild colors we've seen released in the past. Imagine my excitement then when discovering that tonight's Birthday Mystery Box released in the game contains a set of limited edition Sheep!

This Mystery Box, like the others released this week, will only be available in the game for a single day, and you'll need to pay 20 Farm Cash to add a random Sheep from the box to your land. Here's what you can hope to find inside:

Lantern Sheep
Orange Ewe
Pastel Purple Ewe
Valentine Sheep
Welsh Mountain Sheep
Yellow Ewe

Remember, unfortunately this Birthday Mystery Box doesn't count as a Mystery Game, so you won't be able to use any saved darts to play - you will actually have to pay the 20 Farm Cash. Still, if you want to add a new color to your Sheep Breeding possibilities, or just want to add a new member to your farm family, do so fast before this box expires, taking the Sheep along with it!

Will you purchase a Sheep-filled Birthday Mystery Box, or will you save your Farm Cash for this weekend's Mystery Game?

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!

    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?
