Well, it's about time. After going live on the Canadian App Store weeks ago, CityVille Hometown is finally here in the US and globally for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.
The game marks a list of firsts for Zynga in that it's the company's first game to release on all iOS platforms simultaneously, not to mention its first mobile game to release in five languages.
The game allows players to import their existing Facebook and CityVille friends into a new, but separate mobile experience in the franchise. (Note: This is not a mobile extension of your CityVille web game, but a brand new one.)
However, the game will allow CityVille Hometown players to exchange gifts and resources to one another to lend a helping hand. And don't worry, you can visit their towns, too. For lucky iPhone 4 users out there, the game has fancy Retina Display graphics to boot. See for yourself in the trailer below.

MapleStory Cygnus Knights Edition for iOS proves being adorable ain't cheap
Hey people, $5 is a lot of dough when it comes to the App Store. Especially when Nexon Mobile's MapleStory Cygnus Knights Edition for iOS devices features micro-transactions, too. At any rate, the next edition of the Korean MMO (massively multiplayer online game) developer's flagship franchises come hot off the heels of its Facebook game, MapleStory Adventures.
MapleStory Cygnus Knights Edition puts players into the cute little shoes of either the Soul Master, a melee fighter with shiny armor, or the Flame Wizard, a wizard with ... flames. Your job is to guide these two warriors through level after lovely level of bashing baddies, learning new flashy abilities and finding rare loot. Judging from images of the game, it looks like fans of the original MapleStory will feel right at home.
The game also features several mini games as well as (briefly) social features like the Mailbox and Ad Board systems, which allows you to exchange messages with in-game friends, post notes to other players in real time.
Speaking of real time, Nexon also plans to add real-time multiplayer to the mini games in MapleStory Cygnus Knights Edition, complete with Facebook and Twitter integration. (And did we mention that we could eat those cheeky little warriors up?)
MapleStory iOS
The game is available now in the Apple App Store for the premium price of $5, which might be a bit of a barrier to entry considering it also includes micro-transactions for Candies, the game's primary currency. At any rate, if you're a fan of the MapleStory franchise--which is only getting bigger every day--you kind of owe to yourself, no?

CityVille Level Up Giveaway: 'Like' CityVille, win a 32GB Apple iPad
While CityVille has close to 100 million players, but unfortunately not even close to the same amount "Like" the game on Facebook. So, starting now Zynga is going to do everything in its power to give that number a nice boost. And it needs your help. Just head over to your CityVille game and "Like" the game using the button above the game screen. You can also visit the CityVile fan page and "Like" the game there.
At several milestones along the way to the coveted 10 million fan mark, Zynga will be giving away a variety of prizes in what it's officially calling the CityVille Level Up Giveaway. Check them out:
7 million Fans (25 people will win 50 City Cash)
8 million Fans (25 people will win 100 City Cash)
9 million Fans (25 people will win 500 City Cash)
10 million Fans (5 people will win 1,000 City Cash and an iPad 32GB with Wi-Fi)
If the game reaches 10 million Fans, then five players will receive 1,000 City Cash and one of the most advanced iPad models out there. Now, that's a lot of prizes, but there's a small problem. If the iPads aren't being given away until the end of the contest, who is going to want to vote early on? (You didn't hear that from us.) While the contest doesn't end until the 10 million fan goal is met, be sure to "Like" the page to guarantee your spot in at least one of the drawings. If you've already "Liked" the game, then sit tight and continue playing as you've already been entered. Isn't it great liking things before they're cool?

The Top 10 Free iOS and Android Games -- July 2011
The second glorious month of summer will soon come to close. After wiping that single tear from your cheek, remember that with a new month comes a list of (mostly) new free games to try on your Android or iOS device.
Look, we know you're putting off that summer reading (or helping the tikes with their book reports), until the last week in August. So, at least do it in style. Click each title to head over to its download page:
Top 10 Free iOS Games:
1. Stickman BMX Free
In this second outing by Traction Games, players must guide likely the most extreme-looking stick man, named simply Stickson, through 60 plus BMX courses filled with hidden paths. Players can pull off a litany of tricks, but with spike pits and Death himself awaiting your treads, expect to crash ... a lot.
2. Prize Claw
Long gone are the days of dropping $10 worth of quarters for that awesome Homer Simpson doll. Game Circus LLC brings the grab machine right into your iPhone, allowing you to collect over 60 prizes across a bunch of different grab machines. A grab machine that you can play sans quarters? Count us in.
Futura Head in a Jar
3. Nuts!
You can probably already guess what this gem is all about. Limbic Software puts you into the role of a bushy-tailed squirrel as it climbs trees in search of coins (not nuts...?). Climb as high as you can, avoiding obstacles like icy zones and power-ups like the fireball.
4.Doodle God
No, this is nothing like Doodle Jump, thank heaven. This game allows players to play out God's role in creation as you mold four basic elements together with your fingers into (almost) everything in existence. Along the way, you'll come across a litany of poignant or hilarious sayings and create over 100 advanced combinations.
5. Pokerist
Wha? Where's Zynga Poker? Anyway, this mobile poker simulator for Pokerist.com features standard and VIP tables with each player's face displayed. Alright, I'm not afraid to admit it: I'm terrible at poker. But hey, don't let that discourage you. Poker fans, why not give it a shot? It has Facebook Connect and in-game chat, too.
6.Futurama Head in a Jar
Fine, this (pictured above) isn't a full-blown game like the rest on this list, but it has avatar creation! While that's pretty much all it is, MTV Networks has made a game that lets you create heads in jars--just like in the show--and share them with their friends via Facebook. And who doesn't love Futurama? At least it's funnier than the Simpsons. (Flame away in the comments.)
7.Rollercoaster Builder Travel
Man, if Super Mario World was titled this literally, it would be "Man Jumps on Turtles." The game is about as bare-bones as the name, tasking players with creating roller coasters that will reach the end of the linear level unharmed, collecting as many coins as possible along the way--because roller coasters just got to have coins.
Zenonia 3
8.Texas Hold'em Poker Pro
(Another poker game? Ugh, what to say...) Oh, sorry. Well, this game allows players to invite new and old friends to their tables, send them gifts and chat with them using status bars. Oh, and it has Facebook Connect and integrated music options, too.
9. CataGugl
The successor to Smack that Gugl by Yann Le Coroller, this version has players catapulting the Gugl rather than smacking it, hence the name. The game also has voice acting and original music, as well as leader boards. Though, we're kinda lost on why Coroller didn't go with "Throw that Gugl"--would have been genius.
10. Zenonia 3
Legend of Zelda fans: This is your new ish for August. Released by Gamevil, Zenonia throws players into an isometric roleplaying action adventure spanning 136 quests and hundreds of maps. Players can choose from four unique classes, and go toe-to-toe with their friends in three player vs. player modes.
Top 10 Free Android Games:
1. Angry Birds
Again?! Seriously, no one can top these wingless birds? They need a slingshot to travel for Pete's sake! And I'm tired of this naming convention trend it started. If I see one more game titled using only a cute adjective and some type of woodland creature, I'll write angry letters! Watch yourselves.
2. Angry Birds Rio
... No words can express the rage.
Burn the Rope
3. Words with Friends Free
Well, at least it's an intellectual game. Run by Zynga since its acquisition of Newtoy (now Zynga with Friends), the game is a turn-based game of Scrabble with anyone around the world. Between that and the added chat features--but minus the ads--what else could you want in a word game?
4. Burn the Rope
This popular game (pictured above) by Big Blue Bubble pits you in the scorching-hot shoes as the most adorable flame we've ever seen. Your goal? Tilt your phone to keep the fire going on a series of increasingly more complex ropes and knots to score the most points. This'll put that gyroscope to good use.
5. Angry Birds Seasons
Look, I'm tired of this. You all know what Angry Birds is--it's the Mickey Mouse of mobile gaming. I'm not going to tell you anything you didn't already know about this game, so just go and play it already. We'll see you back here for winter break.
Drag Racing6. Drag Racing
Another returning champ that bumps up another spot, Creative Mobile's racing game allows players to drive and tune up over 50 cars ripped from the real world. Blast past players with nitrous online in a Veryon SS, or tune an Integra to perfection for the Pro League.
7. Blast Monkeys
These poor monkeys return (and hop up two spots) to be shot to their peril through a cannon in hopes of--what else?--bananas. Yobonja allows players to shoot Moki the monkey through a number of puzzles to grab all the bananas. And don't forget those hidden ones.
8.Fruit Slice
Wait ... that sounds familiar. Halfbrick, creator of Fruit Ninja, better be on the phone with somebody, because this game spared nothing in its source of inspiration. We're sure this one is appealing due to the lack of a price and all, but trust us: If slicing fruit for hours is your shtick, go with the real deal.
9. Aliens Invasion
In this side-scrolling shooter, players survive wave after wave of aliens that look strikingly similar to those in that famous 80s movie with Sigourney Weaver. iTreeGamer included 12 different guns to puts the intergalactic bugs down with, and three different difficulty levels.
10. Racing Moto
This DroidHen game (pictured right) is a take on the classic Spy Hunter style of racing games. Players control a biker that must avoid other vehicles as it passes them by tilting the phone and tapping the screen to accelerate. The game will take players through several environments as they boost their scores.
