If you’ve been having trouble finding Ducklings randomly when harvesting from your FarmVille Duck Pond, or if you can’t see to snag any of the free Ducklings posted by your friends, Zynga is looking to help you out by offering you a free Duckling.

This, as of now, is simply a one-time-only bonus, that appears as an in-game pop-up the first time you play the game after this update. You’ll be given a free Brown Duckling, that can grow up into one of a variety of different adults, if you gather the help of enough friends within the time limit. Hopefully, you won’t suffer from the same empty menu and broken help requests that were experienced at the initial launch of this feature in the game.

It’s great that Zynga has made an attempt to at least partially make up for this feature’s bugs by offering users a free Duckling, and we can only hope that the feature is now bug-free once and for all. Just make sure to login to FarmVille soon to claim your free Duckling while it is available.

Have you continued to suffer from issues with the FarmVille Duck Pond? Will you grow this Duckling up into an adult? Let us know in the comments.

Death vs Monstars is an action packed fame leaving you thirsting for more, not that it wont quench your appetite for loads of fun, this game will leave you wanting more.

A super shooting game, where you pass through levels of monstars, each with unique abilities and a range of upgrades. You have a matrix like slow bullet time, you can strafe with your weapon locked onto one side as well as a berserk mode that destroys everything in sight.

The game as usual starts off easy giving you a chance to get used to it, but as you go through the levels you need some serious skill. I have still not managed to kill the boss and I am going to try again cause the game is good fun!

Now its your chance to play Death vs Monstars, your death by the way!

Some of you may have played SAS Zombie Assault this is the sequence to that game, the game play is the same as the first part with a lot of new functions. If you recollect Zombie Assault One was based in a specific location a map though not too large you had to run about quite a bit.

The new version allows you to unlock new parts of the map, I am not sure if this is a good idea, you need to, to be able to find new guns and weapons.

But the more you unlock the more barricades more the zombies, more killing and definitely more fun. If you have not played the previous version, all you need to know is that you need to kill the zombies and survive.

You are in a room with barricades, the zombies break them and enter, so you need to fix them and kill them to survive. For every zombie you kill you get cash to upgrade weapons and features.

You can also get stronger barricades, sentry guns, etc, or does that make it easy? Not really as the zombies get stronger, variety is the spice of life isn’t it. You can even try Endless Zombie Rampage if you like this game, its quite similar except there’s no safe house like this game, your out in the open.

I first played Heli Attack 3 on Zapak. It’s still one of their most advertised games, the ad keeps flashing on this blog.

Heli Attack 3 Game play:

Heli Attack 3 is an extremely fast paced games which may take a little time getting used to since there are fight a few keys and cool stuff that the character can do, for eg. slowing down time!

A huge arsenal of weapons and new additions makes this game more fun than the previous Heli Attack games.

The controls for Heli Attack 3 can be seen in the image, you will also have a tutorial to get you accustomed to the keys!

As you progress in this game it gets tougher I have managed to reach Zone or Level 4 but after that progress has been rather slow, I’m sure this game has some amazing enemies as far as I have reached its pretty awesome.

Time for you to blow up some Helicopters!

Well surprise to say i am unable to provide a quick fix, an invaluable method for becoming a millionaire or how to gain so many visitors your server explodes.

However i can provide you with a simple checklist of things need doing to start your hosting business, as dumb as it may sound i found writing everything out on paper helps a great amount:

- Finding a host

Well the first thing is to find a VPS or Dedicated server host that is within your budget. You need to consider all the options. Do i use linux? Cent OS, Redhat? perhaps Windows? Also what control panel to use, cPanel? Plesk? DirectAdmin? Webmin? Helm? You cant try to name your business until you know exactly what your going to sell and to whom. This does not mean buy hosting in this instant….just find it

- Naming your company

This is the fun bit, and i mean the ONLY fun bit. Naming your company. You need a name which reflects what your company does, who its providing it to and why its providing it in the first place. Then a suitable domain name to follow.

- Design

Now that you have your name sorted a site of some kind is best to help you. If you are as hopeless at drawing as me thn you will need a template for your site and a logo. On a budget this can be done by visiting some template sites and looking through their hosting section. For the larger budgets then outsourcing or freelancing your sites creation is the best option.

- Other software

You will need other software to set-up your company. An essential is billing software, i myself use modernbill and its indispensible. You also have to think about live support and phone numbers. There is the expensive way to provide this but a clever trick (which i dont use but it works great) is to buy a SkypeIN account with british and american numbers on it, so it looks like you have world wide support, in the comfort of your own home

- Nameservers

Nameservers, thoose very annoying things which confused me no end when i started. Easily solution? Get your seller to do them for you! All major resellers like Enom, Namecheap, 1and1 etc etc will all allow you to create your own nameservers. All you require is your server IP addresses and it will get you ns1 and ns2 for your domain.

- Time-out

So a last minute check before everything is launched. We have a working server with a control panel installed all set-up and ready to create accounts. We have made an account for our hosting site, installed and filled the template we have bought complete with billing software and live support. So now the final and constant hurdle!

- Shouting the message

Its all well and good have the new pentium 9 130.5Ghz processor in your machine, but until somebody knows you have this its pretty much useless. So we need to advertise. I have some good methods in which to do this. Firstly, contact already exsisting sites and offer to host their site for free in return for some ads on their site. Also there is the normal advertisement method. You can write articles about various things and leaving your domain name in the article. An extreme method is to create your own other site and plaster it with your ads, but then you’d need to advertise that site also.

If you remember the brain twister, electric box, that needed you to get electricity from the source to the destination, well its back. Electric Box 2 is the sequel to electric box, and its bigger, better and loaded with levels of puzzles and lots of new goodies.

Electric box itself was fun had a good concept and was not too tough. While Electric Box 2, works on the same concepts, it incorporates a lot more in your inventory, a lot of new objects with varied purposes pushing up the complexity of the game by a couple of notches.

Then you add 40 levels and by the time pass level 20, you know that these puzzles are no longer child’s play. The game has increased difficulty, thrown in a little more eye candy but the sound could be turned off, except perhaps when they ask you to turn it on for the happy birthday level

Otherwise the sound is pretty monotonous, but that’s all that’s gonna bore you, although sometimes the sight of a level can shock you and make you wanna give up even before you start, but don’t let that stop you. Time for you to turn on the power! Have fun with electric box 2!

More than two years ago I was blown away by a game called Robokill, it was a fascinating to say the least one of the best flash games I had played at that time! Today two years down the line we have Terramek, featuring the exact same gameplay, the exact same concept and toned down graphics, similar maps and a similar feel as Robokill.

Basically its a hard core copy of a two year old game, that’s pretty funny but the good part is unlike Robokill that required you to make a purchase to play all the levels, terramek is free of cost!

Having said all that, lets see what terramek has to offer, a lot of action for sure, a range of primary and secondary weapons that can be switched during gameplay as and when you like to avoid overheating.

A total amount of 8 maps that increase in size and difficulty as you reach the end. Although the colour scheme used for the maps is kind of dark and somehow feel it does not make the game very appealing to look at, so don’t expect any eye candy with this one.

It has some punchy electronic music to it, but after a while it gets annoying and you may just turn it off, unless you plan on playing the game in one long stretch it may work out for you! But none the less for someone who has not played Robokill this game will be awesome, but for those who have its just going to be a mediocre copy that will remind them of the time the played robokill

Microsoft first released Fable 3 worldwide as an Xbox 360-exclusive on October 26th, 2010. Fable 3 is a continuation of the award-winning RPG series from Peter Molyneux’s Lionhead Studios, and will see the player overthrow a dictatorial tyrant and become the ruler of Albion fifty years after the events of Fable 2.

System: Xbox 360
Genre: Action-adventure RPG
Release dates: October 26th 2010 (USA), October 28th 2010 (Europe)
Players: 1 Player or 2 Players Co-Op
Developer: LionHead Studios
Publisher: Microsoft Games Studio

Rating: ACB: MA15+, PEGI:16+, ESRB:M

Fable 3 is set 50 years after the events of Fable 2 on the continent of Albion. The old monarch, Fable 2′s hero, is dead and left the Kingdom of Albion to Logan, the player’s older brother (you). Power has turned your brother into a real tyrant, who causes poverty and injustice across the land. And after an event that Logan forces on you, you have to escape Logan’s castle along with your mentor, Sir Walter Beck and your servant, Jasper (voiced by the fantastic John Cleese). You then start to gather allies to aid in a revolution against Logan.

But what would you sacrifice to secure the crown of Albion? Expect to have to make much tougher choices with far wider consequences than ever before in Albion, as at some point you’ll rule your kingdom as King or Queen. You will be called upon to make choices and sacrifices that will test your morality and can affect your entire kingdom.

What do you think of the game? Let me know in the comments.

As a conclusion let’s see how much fun the game is on a scale from 1 to 10.

Graphics: 7
A Major improvement on previous titles but nothing that will make you shout from the roof tops, the world of Albion though is a beautiful sight to behold and is almost as captivating as the story. From the poorly lit brothels and ale houses to the most magnificent castles the looks of this game will not disappoint.

Gameplay: 8
A huge story that could unfold in so many different ways its worth saying that you would need to play this game at least twice to even begin to get an idea as to it’s scope with side mission a plenty and a huge main arch Fable 3 will take you through the highs and lows of being a true ruler.

Music: 8
With a general theme to certain area’s the music highlights every aspect of the game very well and never leaves you feeling alone in a huge world even when just exploring and with over 47 hours of recorded speech there’s always something new being said even if it is just local gossip from the town drunk.

OVERALL FUN-FACTOR: 8
A game that shouldn’t be missed from hard core gamer to just the casual weekender this is one of those titles that will have you talking to people about how you did things. In my humble opinion this is one of those games that should be on everyone’s game shelf.

Traffic has to the the main thing you need in affiliate marketing, you need it, you want more of it, and you want quality traffic.

This small guide I will write a few things you might need, come across or find interesting.
Also if you find this crap, un-useful please disregard the post, as i want to get through as much of this weeks questions as possible. So all the newbies know where to start.

There are 6 forms of traffic that I will talk about

1. Startup page traffic.

This is normally called your browsers homepage, just like Google, MSN, Yahoo, search usually the first page you see when you load your browser. Now theres many ways to do this, you can set some scripts or buttons on your page, or try to force it with many tricks to make the end-user set your page as your homepage.
The most profitable method for this is to throw up your own search engine with adsense ads or XML ppc companies search scripts. All are profitable but it would only work if it was good, and you dont want to throw just a crappy page up as you will annoy newbies who dont know how to change it to whatever they like. So a search engine is good because if they cant change it your going to get a lot of searches made, meaning money for a long time.

2. Typein Traffic.

As everyone here knows typein traffic can be very great at converting, say for example a friend of yours told you to visit “U TUBE DOT COM” if you did not know it from the start you could take this in a numerous amount of ways like UTUBE.com, they are really sought after domains that only usually consist of DOTCOMS because not many people will typein a .NET, anyways these domains if you can grab them are great earners. The best method of grabbing one of these is looking for beta release sites, like http://www.inviteshare.com/ this will tell you invite only sites, that are not yet public, these can be amazingly fast ways to grab upcoming potentially great traffic sites. And if you snap up typos fast could make a great earner, or a domain sale.

3. Bookmarks.

Bookmark traffic depending on what kind of site always leads the user back to you. These are mostly community sites or blogs, well , all sites really get bookmarks but the popular ones are usually member sites, like blackhatworld for instance. The earning potential here is great, and the traffic is recurring for a very long time, but i wouldnt recommend forcing a bookmark using scripting as that will piss the users off.

4. Linked Traffic.

This is where most of your traffic should come from, Search engines, links from blogs, directories and whatever you can think of that has link potential like blackhatworld here. The traffic is usually targeted because your anchor text is usually relevent to what the user wants to see.

5. Popups and redirects.

Popups and things can be sent from other sites, exchanges, and popups from your other network of sites. You can easily get a lot of popup exchanges to your site(s) but the traffic is poor, usually only good for the likes of PAY PER IMPRESSION.

6. Software.

A lot of software can have built in browsers, or banners, the likes of MSN messenger always usually runs an ad at the bottom of the client. This converts into traffic by clicks, and mega targeted, you can also throw traffic in your own browser, for example ebooks, and other things like that, i put ebooks here under software because sometimes ebooks can be binded into software, but its all the same, ebook traffic can be very converting , and say you write about something and spread it through torrents, p2p and other things on the subject you want to convert it can get viral.

Viral traffic is another using the buzz to spread the word, for example the likes of youtube videos, you can throw in a lot of funny videos and watermark your urls on the video.
Another idea would be to upload the latest songs in the music charts to youtube or other type sites and throw in a ringtone affiliate url in the description.

Easy traffic

Webrings – for example www.ringsurf.com and www.webring.com can bring in easy traffic but depending on the popularity of your niche, it can be quite dead. So i will skip on to something else, but always keep this idea open.

Toplist traffic – This is pretty much an easy start for anyone, its simple in a way a voting script type banner exchange, but works. Good for dating, hacking, type sites usually but there quite what i would call SEMI-GOOD.
You can popup the toplist voting page in a popup or im sure you can cheat it with some sort of script.

Banner Exchange – Poor traffic , easy, fast, and low converting, just depending on where you do it.

Forum traffic – One of the easiest and best out there, for example if you want to promote some Gambling poker related products sign up in a forum of that niche and talk some sense, dont spam just answer reasonably and youll get some hits and exposure

Blog Comment Traffic – Do a blog search on your niche, for example the blogger search @ http://blogsearch.google.com and comment on a lot of them, this can be done by hand for best results, as you can answer according to the actual post , just give it a quick read and post something semi good with your link.

Article Traffic – Writing articles can be fast, check out http://ezinearticles.com and http://goarticles.com and a google search will give you more. This provides a ton of backlinks as a lot of places scrape the content on article release sites. And is good because of the fact that its targeted traffic and highly convertable.

Classfieds – http://gumtree.com and http://craigslist.com can convert you can place ads for anything in there and users that want it will check your shit out, you can sell things, promote things, and even trick them, for example say you are running a dating site, post in the dating sections, Hi im a girl 24 from such and such im looking for a male send me a mail and ill send my pics, then setup an autoresponder to send pics and a link to your dating site, or sell a product say a car, and link to a relevent ebay search with your affiliate link in place, YOU DONT EVEN HAVE TO HAVE THE PRODUCT, cj.com runs the affiliate site of ebay so check it out.

Expired domains – can be quite good expired domains have traffic and PR already. And ofcourse links to them, they can be found even on http://www.justdropped.com and http://deleteddomains.comm, these come same price as a normal domain, and you can find some quite good ones. And if you want and find good ones just sell them on at high prices.
Its also a good note to research on the domains on like linkpopularity or other type sites.
