PetVille 10,000 Pet Cash Winner

With all the speculation of the PetVille pet cash offer for where all users had to do was click on a link and enter the drawing. Since the winner was supposed to be announced on April fool's day and the contest was launched just a few days before April fool's day. There was a lot of speculation that this might just be an April fool's joke played by PetVille.

People writing about it really wondered if they would give away 10,000 in Pet Cash. The PetVille pet cash giveaway was considered by many people as just a big joke but apparently it did not turn out to be so. There is a winner and the winner and his Pet are the recipients of 10,000 in Pet Cash.

For those of you who are not familiar with PetVille. Pet Cash is what is used to buy either PetVille Coins or PetVille Cash. Some items are sold on PetVille for real cash making this one of the richest social games on the web right now.

The happy winner of that Pet Cash  is Pawal S and his pet Puszek.

Facebook Games 'Farmville' makes it's way to MSN Games.

Popular social gaming company Zynga has now moved their game to other platform's as well. Without relying too much on Facebook alone you can now play farmville on MSN. They have also launched their stand alone website for the game located at www.Farmville.com

Unfortunately it looks like you'll need either IE or Firefox to get this working (sorry, no Chrome or Safari). Which is just stupid, given that FarmVille works fine on just about every browser out there when you play it on Facebook. We've asked Zynga why this is ? it almost certainly has something to do with the way MSN Games is set up.

All you need to do to play the game on MSN is to head over to the Farmville page on MSN game zone and start. You do not nee Facebook connect either just start playing and it works fine.

Zynga also runs the No. 2 game on Facebook, "Café World." In total, the company has more than 230 million monthly users on Facebook, according to Inside Network. MSN Games users will play "FarmVille" through Facebook Connect, a service that links Web sites.

In 2007, Microsoft paid $240 million for a stake in Facebook, which at the time valued the Palo Alto, California- based company at $15 billion.

Microsoft dropped 79 cents to $27.84 at 4 p.m. New York time in Nasdaq Stock Market trading. The shares climbed 57 percent last year.

A message from Sid Meier!

Hello Civ Fans!

I wanted to let you know we’ll soon be looking for beta testers to help us develop a unique new way to play Civilization. Ever since we finished Civilization® Revolution™ last year, I’ve been looking at ways of expanding the Civ gameplay experience to include solo, competitive and cooperative play to take advantage of the uniqueness of social networks. We’re calling this project Civilization® Network™ and the full game will be available next year on Facebook. Civilization Network will allow you to join together with your friends to create the world’s most powerful, richest, smartest, or just plain coolest civilization. You can coordinate your strategy to win great battles, share your technology to jump ahead of your rivals, lobby your family and friends to form your own government and win vital elections, manage and grow your cities to maximize production and happiness, spy on your enemies, and work with your friends to create the great Wonders of the World. The game will offer everything you enjoy in Civ in a fully persistent environment - you can play as much as you like, whenever you like, and it’ll be free to play.

We’ll offer a closed beta of the game soon, so stay tuned for details on how you can sign-up to participate. The full game will launch in 2010. For more information about Civilization Network, including development updates and behind-the-scenes posts from me and the Firaxis team, join our Facebook fanpage here.

Thanks and Stay Civilized!

Some of the popular games are Mafia Wars, Farmville and Petville. People are willing to pay real currency for virtual points and the revenue to be generated from virtual gaming in the future could be upwards of 10 billion USD.

Social games are not restricted to any one country and come from all countries of the world. And what keeps people coming back to virtual games is the ability to play against their friends who could be scattered across the globe.

Facebook does have a list or directory of these games that is easily accessible to all.
