FarmVille

Build a successful farm in this whimsical social networking game from Zynga. You'll begin your life as a farmer by creating an avatar and starting with six plots of land. You'll also be awarded 300 coins, which can be used to purchase seeds, equipment, decorations, or pay for actions such as plowing. Harvesting crops simply involves waiting a specific duration of time after planting, at which point you'll simply move your mouse over the land and click to reap the rewards. Wait too long to harvest a particular crop, however, and it may wilt, losing you money. Each time you harvest, you'll earn experience points to increase your avatar's level and unlock new items to purchase. One of the keys to success in FarmVille is have as many "neighbors" as possible by inviting friends to participate. You'll then be able to send and receive gifts to help expand, decorate, and populate your farm.
