Take Me to the River: FarmVille 2 to debut The Appaloosa River in a live broadcast, featuring me!

When FarmVille 2 hit the web last fall, it changed the world of FarmVille forever. Now that the game is approaching its first anniversary, they’re ready to change things again – and this time, you’re going to get a little wet.

As the first major expansion to FarmVille 2, The Appaloosa River will introduce new farming skills, new crops, and new game mechanics that will give players all new ways to enjoy their favorite farming game.

The Appaloosa River will go into early access on August 29, with general access beginning on September 3.

Ratchet and Clank make mobile endless running debut in ‘Before the Nexus’
By Joe Jasko
Coming from a background in home console gaming, it's always so exciting to me whenever some of my favorite video game franchises cross paths with the world of mobile gaming that we know so well over here at Gamezebo. Well Insomniac Games has surprised everyone today by announcing the very first Ratchet and Clank game for mobile devices to be called Before the Nexus, Pocket Gamer is reporting. The news corresponds with the upcoming launch of Insomniac's Ratchet and Clank: Into the Nexus, which is said to mark a return to the loveable duo's platforming console roots in just a few short days.At its core, Before the Nexus can be described as an endless runner game, although the "running" aspect of the gameplay actually takes place on the winding grind rails that seasoned Ratchet and Clank veterans should know all too well from the series of console games. In a statement about the upcoming game on Sony's official PlayStation blog, Senior Producer Greg Phillips expanded upon the endless running gameplay of Before the Nexus by saying "You can hop between grind rails while avoiding hazards to collect bolts which can be used to upgrade your weapons and armor.""So let's see: we've got grind rails, lots and lots of bolts, and quirky R&C weapons? That sounds like an explosive and fun-filled time to me! Billed as a companion app of sorts to the upcoming PlayStation 3 exclusive Ratchet and Clank: Into the Nexus, players will even be able to transfer their precious earned Raritanium from the mobile game right into the big console adventure through the PlayStation Network, as just another added incentive to get those grind boots out and polished in your down time.
