Happy Aquarium Celebrates Halloween With Mummies, Ghosts and Cowfish... Oh My!

CrowdStar dove headfirst into the Halloween celebration in Happy Aquarium this week, adding a nice variety of Halloween themed TankMates and fish to the in-game store.

In terms of actual fish, you can now pick up either a Clownfish or a Cowfish. Don't be deceived by the name - this Clownfish isn't one of Nemo's relatives - it's a full-blown Clownfish down to the big red nose and bow tie! It goes for either 42 Pearls or 35 Facebook Credits (the equivalent of $3.50 US). The Cowfish, on the other hand, is exactly as it sounds, and is a cute yellow fish dressed in an ever cuter cow costume. This one is slightly cheaper, costing either 39 Pearls or 33 Facebook Credits to add to your tank.

Meanwhile, the two new Tank Mates come in the form of a Little Ghost and a Scuba Mummy. The Little Ghost costs a whopping 10,000 coins, while the Scuba Mummy will set you back either 58 Pearls or 48 Facebook Credits.

Out of these four items, only the Little Ghost seems to have staying power in the store, as the Clownfish, Scuba Mummy and Cowfish are all limited edition items. As of this writing, there are still at least 2,500 of each item left, but you'll still want to bust out that virtual (or real world) pocketbook soon to make sure you snag these Halloween-themed items before the season comes and goes and you are forced to wait another year!

FishVille's Halloween Celebration Explodes With 14 New Items!

Earlier this month, we brought you the news that FishVille's waters have become a heck of a lot scarier, with the inclusion of Halloween themed decorations and backdrops. This week, Zynga has expanded on that theme exponentially, adding 14 new items to the Halloween celebration.

Unlike the first release of solely premium items, this release includes both premium items and those available to purchase with regular old coins. Here's the full selection of new items:

    Black Cat - 8 Sand Dollars
    Chained Coffin - 11 Sand Dollars
    Stone Coffin - 9 Sand Dollars
    Bats - 8 Sand Dollars
    Witch - 8 Sand Dollars
    Pumpkin Display - 6 Sand Dollars
    Classic Tombstone - 4 Sand Dollars
    Spooky Moon - 3 Sand Dollars
    Werewolf - 55,000 coins
    Cemetery Fence - 11,000 coins
    Handy - 60,000 coins
    Cemetery Gate - 18,000 coins


And there you have it - all of the decorations you need to give your fish a frightfully good time this Halloween.

FarmVille Halloween Sees Re-Release Of Old Favorites, Plus New Goodies

The biggest day in October is quickly approaching, and with that we see Zynga adding even more new items to the game's marketplace, in the form of new animals, buildings and quite a few new decorations. Among these new items are a few items that long-time players will remember from last year's Halloween celebration.

Hit the jump for the full look at all of the new items, along with our returning favorites.
This newest set of items in FarmVille plays on a very old cliche, by offering us a pig that could probably fly, a lovely little cottage made from a pumpkin, and even a ghostly gnome that floats above the ground.


For those farmers that were with the game during last year's Halloween event, you'll likely notice the return of the Haunted House, the Tomb Stone and the Spooky Tree. Remember, the Tomb Stone isn't just a decorative piece of rock - it comes complete with an animated ghost cow that rises above the item every few seconds, much as the newly released Ghost Sheep tombstone contains an animation of a ghost sheep rising from the ground.

Remember, these items will only be available in FarmVille until Halloween. While we've been lucky this year, seeing many of last year's items being re-released for new players (or those that simply chose not to purchase them last year), who knows if we'll be so lucky in 2011.
