YoVille: No more angry pets
Remember all the angry and upset pet faces that haunted you while playing YoVille? Well, you don't have to worry about them anymore. The " Feed" option has been removed from the pet interaction menu. You will still be able to play with your pets, but you don't have to feed them anymore.
No need to spend more coins on pet food. What do you think?

Wild Ones' terrifying Minigun is released for paying members
A new weapon is available to Wild Ones members: the Minigun. The Minigun can deal a huge amount of damage to multiple players in just one turn. In addition, like the laser weapons, the Minigun fires in a perfectly straight line, making it hard to miss your targets. Also, unlike other weapons, the player can change direction while firing allowing for multikills and heavier damage. The gun has a significant blow back effect, throwing the victims backwards as well as damaging them.
Unfortunately, as of late, all the cool new items in Wild Ones have been for members only, and just as expected the Minigun will only be purchasable for those paying the monthly fee.
Continue reading to see a video of the Minigun in action.

Farmville for iPhone hits New Zealand app Store
UPDATE (Midnight 6/23): FarmVille for iPhone is now available for download in the US iTunes store. See the announcement and our initial impressions of the portable version of the Facebook farming juggernaut.
Since Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference revealed the existence of an iPhone version of Farmville last month, we've been working hard to find out an exact date for the popular Facebook game's first official mobile release. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to pin down anything more concrete than the "late June" announced by Zynga CEO Mark Pincus at the show.
Well, apparently we can stop asking, because Zynga's official Farmville app is currently available on the New Zealand iTunes App Store. Why does New Zealand, of all places, get it first? Well, as of this writing, it's already June 24 in the land of the Kiwis, whereas it's still June 23 for most of the rest of the world.
Pocket Gamer UK says the New Zealand release implies that the game will hit the UK in the early morning hours and, presumably, other regions as morning comes around for them. Of course, if you create a new dummy New Zealand iTunes account you won't have to wait at all. But you didn't hear it from us *cough*

EA signs deal with Live Gamer; doubles down on microtransactions
Paying nickels and dimes to buy additional content in games isn't going away anytime soon, and, in fact, it looks like EA may be doubling down on microtransactions by announcing a new partnership with Live Gamer, which will run all of EA's "microtransaction projects" and will help "accelerate the company's online gaming strategy."
The press release doesn't mention any specific games, but just off the top of my head, this deal seems particularly relevant to EA's social gaming arm, Playfish, responsible for Pet Society and FIFA Superstars on Facebook, as well as its casual gaming portal Pogo, which has had microtransactions for a while now. EA has also started to integrate more microtransactions in its blockbuster console games as well: Madden NFL Football debuted microtransactions in the 2010 edition, Dragon Age and Dead Space (among other EA console games) also rolled out additional downloadable content.
A recent study says microtransactions will grow to $7 billion globally by 2015, so it's no surprise that Live Gamer's picking up new clients, which includes THQ and Real Networks' GameHouse. I'm sure we'll be hearing similar news from other traditional game publishers in the near future -- the success of selling virtual goods has everyone seeing dollar signs.
