Facebook is down: FarmVille & FrontierVille down, sorry social gamers!
If you're experiencing the same issues we are, Facebook is currently down completely. That's right--kaput. We're unsure as to why exactly the website is down, but we're on to one possible lead. Users have reported that their profiles have been forcibly switched to the new Facebook profile on the fly, which could have caused the crash.
And that means all of your favorite social games, including FarmVille and FrontierVille, are also down. Stay tuned for updates and hopefully an explanation as to why Facebook bit the dust.
Update: Facebook is back for us here at Games.com as well as FarmVille and FrontierVille. However, search is still unavailable. Keep your eyes peeled for more updates.
Update #2: Facebook seems to be up and running for everyone, which includes all applications and search. Enjoy your return to [insert name of social game here]. According to All Facebook, the downtime was intentional to fix some glitches related to launching several of the website's brand new features at once.

Rumor Alert: Is Mafia Wars 2 Zynga's next big Facebook game?
Mafia Wars 2 revealed! Check out the trailer here!
Is the above image an extremely early look at the sequel to Mafia Wars? Well, according to TopMafia user Bossy Don, who claims to have anonymous sources in Zynga, yes, it is. Found in a recent Zynga survey, the game will reportedly be titled "Mafia Wars 2: Shadow Nation" and will be far different from the current Mafia Wars in almost every way. Actually, this game looks familiar.
In fact, it looks just like the recent Crime City, a flash-based game that plays a lot like the original Grand Theft Auto games. You know, before they made the move to 3D and became insanely successful? Well, if the comments attached to the original photo are any indication, Mafia Wars fans aren't terribly happy with this new style change. While we're not going to judge too much from a single image, all we hope for is for Zynga to not take ideas from games like Crime City wholesale. Though, that does seem to be Zynga's M.O. these days.

Robot Unicorn Attack: Heavy Metal sets Facebook on fire
Robot Unicorn Attack now comes in two flavors on Facebook, and by flavors, I don't mean unicorn SPAM. But since the original's September debut, Adult Swim Games has also launched a Heavy Metal and a Christmas version (iPhone only so far) on its site. But today, finally, Robot Unicorn Attack: Heavy Metal has been unleashed upon Facebook.
Robot Unicorn Attack Heavy Metal action
While the original Robot Unicorn Attack is a mellow, rainbow-splashed, galloping breeze of pretty pink and purple hues swaddled by a song from an 80s synthpop duo -- the Heavy Metal version is its demonic counterpart, where you blaze across as a fiery red-eyed beast, over a desolate landscape of bone-encrusted bridges, to the song "Battlefield" by a German 80s metal band, Blind Guardian. Though it's not as catchy as Erasure's "Always", the lyrics definitely fit the feel of the revamped game:
It cannot be seen
But there's blood on the green.
Only god knows I'm innocent.
Take me, take me home.
A dark seed reigns in me like the storm rules over the sea.
I challenge thee, do not cross the bridge alone.
Supposedly, the band was inspired by the old Scandinavian legend, Das Hildebrandslied. But in any case, everything else about the Heavy Metal installment plays the same as the original. The keyboard keys 'Z' and 'X' still mean 'Jump' and 'Dash', and the game remains ridiculously popular.

FrontierVille: You can now sell directly from your Inventory, menus now hold your place
Two very appreciated technical adjustments launched in FrontierVille this week, and both of them can be seen in action via your in-game Inventory.
First and foremost, you can now sell items directly from your inventory. Yes, that's right, one feature that users have been clamoring for since the game first launched has finally been added. No longer will you have to open your inventory and manually drag item after item out onto your Homestead, only to sell them in an extra step - you can now click on the small pile of coins next to those items that can be sold, to see a small menu pop up that will confirm that you do in fact want to sell the item.
Via this menu (as seen above), you can choose how many of that particular item you'd like to sell (in cases where you own more than one), and you'll see how many coins you'll receive in return upon selling that quantity. Simply click on the "'Sell" button and voila! Your items will automatically be sold from your inventory, and your coin total will rise accordingly.
While this new convenience is admittedly pretty fantastic, it still doesn't address the issue of leftover quest items, as those items remain "un-sellable" as of this writing. We'll be sure to let you know if that changes.
In the meantime though, another addition to the inventory has also been made, as the game will now automatically keep your position in your Inventory if you use or place an item from your inventory onto your Homestead, or simply close the menu. That is, during the same gameplay session (leaving the game resets this) every time you open up your Inventory window, your position in scrolling through items will be saved. If you have a lot of trees that are on the third page of your inventory, you will be sent directly back to the third page after you place each tree, saving you the hassle of having to scroll through page after page in your inventory just to get back to where you were.
While the place-holding in FrontierVille is very appreciated, we have to say that the ability to sell items directly from your inventory has to be one of the best technical adjustments Zynga has made to the game since launch.

FarmVille Holiday Tree, Gifting events end tomorrow
If you've yet to finish that Holiday Tree in FarmVille, you better gift and beg your fingers off today, because tomorrow it will all be gone. FarmVille Freak reports that on Jan. 6 Holiday Gifts will be removed from the Free Gifts page. Furthermore, the "Ask for Parts" button within the Holiday Tree menu will be disabled and the Holiday Tree itself will disappear from the Market tomorrow.
Well, it was fun (for most) while it lasted. Hey, at least the New Year's events will still be around for a bit. But then it's back to the doldrums of being between holidays. Unless Zynga thinks some stuff up for Valentines Day, Easter/Passover and more. Who are we kidding? I can almost bet that they will (but no promises), so sit tight farmers.
