FrontierVille Trees
This is the definitive FrontierVille tree data for the two trees in Zynga's popular Oregon Trail-themed game. This table shows you how much of a reward you will get from each tree, how long they take to grow, and what the chance is for a bear to attack after chopping down the tree. If you're looking for information on FrontierVille trees -- you have come to right place.
Right now there's only data available for two trees, but this guide will be updated regularly. Stay tuned!

Pet Society: Cool pics from around town
Thanks to Jennefer for posting this image on the Pet Society Anonymous fan page. I love how the dad looks so worried while the daughter is having the time of her life. It totally reminds me of my own driving lessons as a teenager. My father would keep yelling, "Slow down! Slow down!" all the while clutching the dashboard with fear. (We were going about 20 miles an hour.)

Quote of the Moment: The downside of "viral"
"1. They reproduce at a fantastic rate. True. Facebook games came from nothing, and now everyone and their mother plays FarmVille.
2. They can mutate. Games update regularly, weeding out unused/disliked features and adding in better components that will help them "survive". The Challenge Missions in Mafia Wars are a prime example. The most recent was South Africa, meant to capitalize on the World Cup – the objective of this mission was to fix the matches by bribing referees and so on. Now that the World Cup is over, the new players drawn to the game will likely stay due to the fun they had with the "mutation".
3. They are acellular, that is, they contain no cytoplasm or cellular organelles. So far as I know. 'Cause if they did, that would be disturbing.
4. They carry out no metabolism on their own and must replicate using the host cell's metabolic machinery. Indeed, Facebook games are helpless to reproduce without the living "host cells", i.e. human beings. This is where all of that annoying "Please be my neighbor on FarmVille!" notification spam comes from.
Oh, and they're tricky. Tricksy little viruses they are. They even act benign, rewarding the host when they pass the contagion on, or requiring transmission of the virus to continue in the game. This usually comes right when they've got their hooks in the player. 'You need more mafia members to play this level. Recruit. Recruuuuuit!' And the player dutifully sends out request spam to everyone on their friends list, and some poor schmuck picks it up, and the cycle begins anew. These things snowflake out – and once you start with one game, others will follow."
-Alex Villanueva draws some eerie parallels between real viruses and the "viral" nature of social gaming

Pet Society: Homes of High Society Pets
Ever wonder what it's like to be royalty? Jean-Pierre has always been a little prince, living it up in 5-star luxury. He was especially excited when the Versailles-themed items were released earlier this month. Kellie from High Society Pets gives us this exclusive tour of her pet's palace, including the Hall of Mirrors, where Jean-Pierre takes tea with visiting pets of importance, his conservatory playhouse, and his dressing room.
I think Kellie did a fabulous job of decorating, don't you? Check out more of her pet's home at High Society Pets.

FarmVille Birthday Bash: Lana turns two in the Philippines
Looks like her parents went all out to celebrate their daughter Lana's second birthday with a FarmVille themed party. Check out the video below to see for yourself. Note, the video is long at almost 10 minutes, but watching even the first few seconds is worth it or feel free to skip through.
This video was submitted by FarmVille Freak Son, thanks for the great find.
"I love your site! For some reason I was thinking of having a Farmvillle theme birthday party thrown for my FV Freak, Sister's Sweet16, and I came across your site and I must say there's a lot of FV freaks out there. Anyway, I also came across this Farmville theme party on You Tube which gave me some good ideas on what I'll have done for the party..( the invites, gift bags, back drop, background music, attire) Just in case you haven't seen it here's a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5JnwgbqYfY I must say they've truly spent a lot of money for that one of a kind Farmville Theme party and I love it. Someone who came up with the idea must be truly a FV freak! lol

FarmVille Farm of the Week: Mark's Piggery Farm
In honor of this week's FarmVille release of Pigpens, we have selected a farm befitting the occasion. Even though our Pigs now have homes, there is no way one Pigpen would house this swine loving FarmVille Freak's Pig collection.
FarmVille Freak Mark Moises Roja's farm or "Piggery" is filled entirely with Pigs! Every inch, except for a small spot in the center that is reserved for a favorite building, is occupied by Pigs. While it is by no means a working farm (even though Pigs yield coins when harvested) we can all appreciate its uniqueness. It's not everyday you see a Piggery farm.
Mark also mentions the shrinking Pig epidemic that many other FarmVille Freaks have reported. Earlier this week, regular Pigs appear to be smaller than before, although Zynga has made no mention of it. Says FarmVille Freak Mark,
"Hello sirs,
I didn't know that there is a Farmville Freak Farm of the Week Contest, had I known about it, I would've submitted an entry as early as April... :)
Anyways, I would like to send my "farm" that doesn't really have a farm but a Piggery... it's my idea of fun. I guess it's timely that I submit my farm as an entry since it's just now that Zynga is giving some love that my beloved pigs deserves... BTW I am Mark Moises Roja from Manila, Philippines. I am 31 years old and have been an avid farmer since January this year... :) Thank you very much
Sincerely,
FarmVille Freak Mark Moises Roja
PS: Just today, I noticed that the normal Pigs got smaller (the Ossabaws and Black Pigs remained as is). My Pigs used to encompass all of my farm, but when I opened it today, I was surprised to see that there is some gap between them that didn't exist before."
Is your farm crave-worthy or unique? Send pics of your farm to libe@games.com and we may feature it. If you have any other FarmVille inspired art, videos, music, cakes, or creations and would like to share, send them too!

Disney/Playdom shuts down all Acclaim games
Back when Playdom first acquired Acclaim Games back in May, we were surprised that the company published MMO and casual games, instead of games like Mortal Kombat. We were almost equally surprised recently to find that the company will be shutting down all of its games, leaving 15 million registered users out in the cold.
A short note on the Acclaim Games web site notes that "all Acclaim games will no longer be in service effective August 26, 2010," though as Gamasutra notes, games like RockFREE and the company's still-in-development MMO Kogamu seem to still be available. The company will be offering reimbursements for unused "Acclaim coins" virtual currency and for purchases made in the game 9Dragons over the past month.
So why purchase a company if you're just going to shut down its games a few months later? Well part of the decision might have to do with Playdom's own acquisition by Disney last month. Perhaps Playdom's new owners saw less potential in the company's games than the original purchasers did. Or perhaps both companies simply agreed that the real value in Acclaim was in its employees and its potential for future hits, not its current game catalog. In either case, It will be interesting to see what comes next for this piece of a growing social game conglomerate.

PetVille: Get a Whoa! Double Rainbow and Four zLotto Unicorns
Zynga seems to think that the Double Rainbow meme still has some life in it. To recap, the Double Rainbow Guy became an instant hit on YouTube after he uploaded a video of himself going gaga over rainbows while hiking in Yosemite National Park.
In tribute, FrontierVille released their own Double Rainbow (25 Horseshoes) early this August. And now, PetVille is featuring one as part of their currently running, Enchanted Kingdom outdoors decor set.
(NOTE: As I've mentioned before, you must be Level 10 or above to be able to access the Outdoors Store. Moreover, you'll need to collect a dozen keys from friends to be able to unlock the door to any outdoors decor set, in order to buy from it.)
But PetVille's Double Rainbow (40 Pet Cash) is only available for the next 2 days. It's also currently being promoted with Maureen The Unicorn, one of the four PetVille prizes offered by zLotto, which is Zynga's official -- and FREE! -- games lottery. So grab a unicorn or four, while the promotion lasts! I personally won a Turquoise Unicorn. If I don't like it, this unicorn also sells for 2,000 Coins. Read this post by an official rep of Zynga's YoVille to learn how to get more tickets.

The Fall is characterized by refreshing air and colorful leaves. Yet, though Summer has come and gone, and the weather is getting colder, there is reason to rejoice. For one, cold weather means we have no choice but to stay inside, get cozy, and play our favorite Facebook games. In addition, those of us who play Facebook games know there are a few more things to look forward to in the realm of games. No I'm not talkinghalloween 2010 about Plants vs Zombies Halloween costumes (although that is very exciting). I'm talking about holiday releases. And fortunately for us, Halloween 2010 is just around the corner.
Starting with Halloween 2010, then Thanksgiving, and finally Christmas, all our favorite Facebook games roll out all kinds of awesome content for us fans. As always, first up is Halloween. Halloween 2010 falls on Sunday, October 31st. You can expect another year of pumpkins, trick-or-treating, and of course, Facebook game Halloween items and features.
As usual, we expect some of the biggest games to roll out Halloween 2010 updates such as FarmVille, Pet Society, FrontierVille, Mafia Wars, PetVille, Cafe World, Happy Aquarium, and more. To see what's new in your favorite Facebook games for Halloween 2010, check out the complete holiday coverage below:

Farmville Haunted House: Build it for Halloween
Halloween is just around the corner, and it looks like FarmVille already has big plans to celebrate! Good news is that from the looks of the images below they are planning a buildable Haunted House that looks "pretty dope" as described by FarmVille player Kayyy. We wonder if this is the exact same (farm cash) Haunted House with animation that was featured last Halloween in 2009? View that Haunted House (post dated October 16, 2009) by clicking here. It looks very similar, with some noticeable differences though.

FrontierVille 'Mafia Wars Quest': Clobberin' and clearin' for a Mafia Wars reward
Logging in to Mafia Wars right now might activate a pop-up asking you to log in to FrontierVille and start a promotional quest on your homestead.
Once there, all you have to do to complete this quest and receive the Bowie Knife (31 Attack, 58 Defense) in your Mafia Wars inventory is clobber three snakes, clear three skulls (snakes hide in skulls) and chop down three trees. That's it. Just do those things like you would in everyday life on the virtual frontier, click on the "Mafia Wars Quest II" pop-up to claim your reward and the Bowie Knife should be in your mobster's hands in no time.
You can unlock each requirement for an obscene amount of horseshoes compared to how boringly easy each requirement is, but, please, save your money. In case you truly are the impatient type, Mafia Wars Maniac found a shortcut to making the quest appear that we've included behind the break.
Mafia Wars Quest guide
This code will take you directly to the pop-up in Mafia Wars to activate the "Mafia Wars Quest" in FrontierVille.

New FarmVille, FrontierVille & Cafe World Cross-Promotion
UPDATE: See our FarmVille Guide on how to complete the FrontierVille's FarmVille Quest I and how to claim your FarmVille Mule.
If you've been farming tonight, you may have noticed the in-game pop-ups below. Starting tonight, there has been frequent advertising for two new Zynga games and FarmVille cross-promotions with FrontierVille and Cafe World.
farmville cafe world free cafe cash cross promotion
From time to time, Zynga likes to offer cross-promotions for their games by rewarding players with special items and perks for playing multiple games. They like to make sure that us FarmVille Freaks haven't forgotten about their other games by giving us a push towards life outside of farming. This time around, playing FrontierVille and completing the FarmVille quest can unlock a special Mule for you to use in FarmVille, while playing Cafe World could potentially earn you 50 free cafe cash (for FarmVille players to use in Cafe World).
Q: Is the Mule for FarmVille or FrontierVille?
A: The Mule is for you to use in FarmVille. Though you must complete the quest in FrontierVille to claim your Mule reward.
This article originally appeared on FarmVille Freak.
Will you participate in these Zynga games and FarmVille cross-promotion or is it just another gimmick to get you to play?

Treasure Isle: Haunted Voyages await you and your Pirate Ghost Ship
Start Your Haunted Voyage
Since Halloween still isn't here yet, there's more time for Zynga to stuff your favorite games with Halloween-themed events and items like the new Haunted Voyages in Treasure Isle. Log in today and you'll find the option to place a Pirate Ghost Ship on the coast of your home island, ready to take on one of three Haunted Voyages. But you'll need a willing crew first.
Each of the three Voyages requires either two, four or six crew members to embark upon--thankfully your friends can "gift" you a creepy crew member from the Gifts page if they simply don't feel like helping. You can also unlock crew slots for 5 Island Cash a piece, but asking a few friends never hurt anyone.Once you have enough crew members to at least take on Ghostbeard's Boo-ty, you'll have to complete its four stars of mastery to win all of the loot he has to offer. According to the Zynga forums, some particularly awesome items await those who complete each Voyage with four stars. Can you master all three adventures before the big night?

Vampire Wars Blood Brothers and Halloween Avatar Sets bring spine-chilling style
Blood Brothers Akem's Gamble
Zynga decided that with this year's Halloween, Vampire Wars would pay homage to the greats of vampire history: Count Orlok, Count Dracula, Lestat and... Edward Cullen? Well, some of the greats anyway. Through Oct. 31, players can take a chance in Akem's Gamble to win one of these four vampire-inspired abilities:
Ancient Blood: Offensive, 115 Attack, 40 Defense
Class: Defensive, 50 Attack, 110 Defense
Nosferatuan Thirst: Movement, 95 Attack, 60 Defense
Popularity: Defensive, 50 Attack, 105 Defense
Collect all four to receive an Epic Ability, Blood Bond, which carries an impressive 210 Attack and 50 Defense. Join us after the break for a look at the new Halloween Avatar sets.
Red Death Set Dia Los Muertos
Inspired by the Spanish holiday "Dia De Los Muertos," or the Day of the Dead, these two absolutely beautiful Avatar sets are only available from random Mission drops through Oct. 31, but each provide the same 2 Defense, 18 Energy stat bonus. Oddly enough for a social game, these items cannot be purchased at all and must be found while completing Missions. Man, if only every Facebook game followed that philosophy during the holidays.

With Playfish's recent update to the game, Pro League II has arrived along with a bunch of new features. After completing the first Pro League, this new, timed challenge will open up to players tasking them with taking on the American and National Divisions.
The reason we say "timed" is because if you complete Pro League II within the time limit you'll be able to sign a 99-rated player, the highest-rated player in the game. How it works is that when you begin a Pro League II Division, you will be given a player card who's rating will increase by four points with every Division timer met--there are nine timers in all. Not to mention that Pro League II can also reward players with up to 30,000 coins, more contract cards to extend time with limited edition players and 14-point game changers. Wait, are those even possible?
Along with the Pro League II must come a Stadium to hold it. Stadium 2 will grow along with your progress in the new league just like the first Stadium. But of course it'll have much cooler stuff. (Why show it off if it didn't?) But don't worry, Stadium 1 won't be left behind, just waiting to be demolished. That old heap of junk will now net you 750 coins every eight hours just like a property in, say, ESPNU College Town. Forum goers have mentioned Pro League II Division timers to be as short as two days to win the 99-rated players. If this is the case, only the most dedicated fans will have a chance at these powerful players. Looks like it all depends on whether you want them badly enough or if you have enough time on your hands.

Mafia Wars Italy Severed Pinky: How to find this missing digit
If there's one thing that's likely to stand in your way of making progress in Mafia Wars, it's those darn consumable items required to complete jobs. Just when you thought you were done with hunting down random items, Mafia Wars Italy arrives and it starts all over again with Severed Pinky, Rail Ticket, Hidden Charges and Smart Phone consumables.
Number one on everyone must-have consumable list is the Severed Pinky. You'll need pinkies to complete the 'Send A Message to the Di Rossa Family' job in Mafia Wars Italy Region 1 Roma.
mafia wars severed pinky
You'll need a total of 91 Severed Pinky items to master all four levels of the 'Send a Message' job. That breaks down into the following per mastery level:
Bronze : 15 Severed Pinky
Silver : 17 Severed Pinky
Gold : 25 Severed Pinky
Ruby : 34 Severed Pinky
Severed Pinky consumables are not available as a gift and cannot be traded. There are two ways to find these missing digits:
severed pinkies
1. Complete the 'Intercept A Handoff in the Coliseum' job in Region 1: Roma. This job costs 8 Energy to complete and the pinkies will drop as loot about 85% of the time.
2. Complete the 'Assassinate a Corrupt City Official' job in Region 1: Roma (the Fight Path). You'll have to fight to complete this job and the Severed Pinky seems to drop less on this job than they do on the other.

FarmVille Sneak Peek: Skunk & Chicken Turkey
It's time for yet another FarmVille sneak peek, brought to you by the release of as-of-yet unreleased items in Zynga's massive farming game. This time around, we have images of some new animals that may or may not be coming to FarmVille in the future.
The first is the Skunk, which we actually feel comfortably saying is extremely adorable (as it's virtual and all). The other animal is one that we're most certain will actually be released in the game, as it would fit in perfectly with the upcoming Thanksgiving celebration in the game.
It is the Chicken Turkey, and while that may not be the final name of the item, it does get the point across, as it's a Turkey that has dressed itself up partially as a Chicken, most likely to avoid getting placed onto someone's dinner table this Thanksgiving! Poor little fella!
As with all unreleased items, there is no guarantee that either of these animals will actually make it into the game, so keep that in mind.

FarmVille Sneak Peek: Candy Cane Crop
Similar to the release of Candy Corn back during the Halloween celebration in FarmVille, it appears that Zynga will be honoring another candy tradition in the form of Candy Canes this Christmas.
We've seen images of the new Candy Cane crop, including its Mastery Stall, Market Bushel, and Mastery Sign, all of which you can see above.
It's interesting that we see a Market Bushel image being created for the Candy Canes, as limited edition crops rarely produce bushels, so it seems a bit unneeded. Could this be a hint that things are going to change in this area? Only time will tell, but this certainly would help those users that want to earn the Mastery Sign associated with the crop, as we would be able to do so twice as fast.
As usual, there is no guarantee that that the Candy Cane Crop will actually be released in the game (although it is incredibly likely that it will), so keep that in mind.

Happy Pets Psychedelic Pets are so bright you'll have to wear shades
CrowdStar has brought yet another round of Psychedelic Pets to Happy Pets, which first launched way back in March. In that time, however, we've seen tons of new species of pets being added to the game, so it only makes sense that we'd see Psychedelic versions of these new species released to match.
The new series contains 6 new pets, each of which costs Facebook Credits, and is limited edition. Here are the list of available pets, along with their prices:
Psychedelic Iguana - 48 Facebook Credits ($4.80 US)
Psychedelic Triceratops - 58 Facebook Credits ($5.80)
Psychedelic Chicken - 56 Facebook Credits ($5.60)
Psychedelic Butterfly - 38 Facebook Credits ($3.80)
Psychedelic Pegacorn - 68 Facebook Credits ($6.80)
Psychedelic Dragon - 68 Facebook Credits ($6.80)
Depending on the pet that you choose to purchase, they will grow to adulthood within a range of a single day (the Butterfly), all the way up to two weeks (the Iguana, Dragon, and Triceratops). Along with that, the feeding times of these pets also vary, ranging from four hours (Butterfly) to 21 hours (Dragon and Triceratops), so keep those stats in mind when looking to make a purchase.
These pets will only be available until they sell out from the store, but each species is currently available in quantities of at least 800. Still, shop fast if you want a guarantee that you'll be able to purchase the pet type that you want.

Social City: Spin to win big in the Skyscraper 2 Raffle
For those risk takers that don't mind spending a bit of real-world currency in their Facebook games, Playdom has launched a new raffle in Social City that will have you looking towards the sky.
The Skyscraper Raffle 2 offers users a chance at winning one of 17 different, mostly extremely tall buildings for use in their towns. Each spin of the raffle costs a whopping 25 City Bucks, and you're not guaranteed to receive a different item on subsequent spins, so collectors need to be aware of the money-sinking potential that this raffle actually has.
That being said, some of the items available to win are the TransAmerica Building, the Kuala Lumpur Towers, the CN Tower, and of course, many more.
If we know Playdom as well as we think we do, this raffle won't be around forever, so if you're willing to take a risk at receiving one of these buildings, it would be best to do it quickly, while it's still around.

Zoo World: Transform your zoo into Thanksgiving Island
Zoo World has just given players something else with which to celebrate Thanksgiving, with the additional of a new Thanksgiving Island map. This map will allow you to decorate one of your additional islands with a Thanksgiving theme. This island has a rock in the shape of a turkey and an orange ground to give yoru zoo that feeling of Autumn harvest.
Players aren't too happy with Zoo World developer RockYou right now, mostly because they've been upset with a lack of support. They're a bit disappointed that this island costs Wildlife Points (15 to be exact) because it seems that almost everything in the game requires WLP now. In addition, this island is yet another hilly map and players have been wanting something flat.
Players are also receiving an error when they try to add an additional island to their zoo, so it makes using this map difficult if you don't want to change an existing island to the Thanksgiving theme.
Overall, this is a fairly lackluster addition to the game, but if you're really into Thanksgiving and want to transform a whole island of your zoo to celebrate it - now is your chance.

PSA: FarmVille is addicting and will damage your brain [video]
In this video an endearing little boy attempts to explain (rather comically) why FarmVille is addictive. You heard right, this kid believes that Zynga is evil and that FarmVille is addictive because it has 65 million active users. He also mentions that the only thing you can do in the game is raise animals, so it's clear he hasn't played the game too much. He recommends that anyone who supports his cause contact "1-800-Let's stop 65 million people from getting brain damaged by playing FarmVille".
It's all in good fun, of course, but many social game players get annoyed when the media and their friends are constantly accusing them of being addicted. Can't we just play these games because they're a fun way to pass the time? Not everyone is addicted just because they enjoy playing.

Game of the Day: Kitten Cannon
The Game of the Day is back, and it's back with with good cheer! Kitten Cannon or Kitty Cannon (as it's often called) is an oldie but a goodie. In Kitten Cannon, you control your small kitty cannon and fire your unsuspecting kitty across a field trying to get your feline friend as far as you can. Along your kitty's path are power ups and hazards that will add or hinder your kitty's progress. The game is funny, good humored and will hopefully bring you a laugh or two.
Please note: No one at Games.com - The Blog! advocates cruelty to animals. In fact, I was the last hold out on getting a cat. Everyone here is a cat owner and lover of cats in general. My cat's name is The Colonel --> Check him out here.

FarmVille thong: The holiday gift that keeps on giving
Today, I was on the hunt for a few cool FarmVille-themed holiday gifts for my virtual farming obsessed friends and ran across this thong.
OK, so it's not an official FarmVille branded thing, but this cotton panty with red barn and silo imprinted on the front is the perfect silly gift for a friend who's obsessed enough with their virtual crops that they'd actually consider wearing farm-themed underwear.
The FarmVille thong is available on CafePress for $13 in size small, medium or large. Not sure if I can really vouch for the fact that these are 'Made in the USA,' but if you're one of those people who avoid buying things that may or may not be made places with lax child labor laws, well, there you go.

Mafia Wars meets CityVille (sort of) with Urban Warfare on Facebook
Enjoying CityVille, but in search of more competition? Well, Blue Shell Games' first effort on Facebook hopes to bring social gamers the best of both worlds with Urban Warfare. With both city-building elements and Mafia Wars-style battles with friends, Urban Warfare is a jack-of-all-trades of sorts, allowing players to both maintain a sprawling town while defending it from invaders. However, this game is certainly not without its flaws. In fact, it has those in spades.
Take a look behind the break to get a detailed look at whether this game might interest you (but probably not).
Urban Warfare Battles
Urban Warfare throws players into a war-torn world where every city is required to have a full-blown military to defend itself, which would be absolutely badass in most situations (fictional, of course). It's too bad that this game doesn't bring much in the fun department. Sure, Urban Warfare is functional, but that's about where development seems to have tapered off to a point. For instance, the image above is what every battle looks like. And that's it. (Well, aside from a blank loading screen that simply reads, "Battling!")
So, don't think you're preparing for full-scale war here. Battles operate almost exactly like those in Mafia Wars, but with less detailed artwork and it's the bland soldiers you train that decide the outcome rather than collected items. Not to mention that Battles can be repeated over and over again with no real benefit or penalty. You'll almost immediately catch on to the trick of finding a weak player pummeling him repeatedly to level up at lightning speeds (due to the lack of animation), but what's the point?
City building
Not much really, though in order to compete at later levels you'll need to build out your city with coin-generating businesses, residencies that boost your population and barracks to train more soldiers--all of which cost coins. The balance between generating coins and population via plopping buildings on the grid and training an army is simple enough. In fact, it's probably too simple. In my short time playing the game, there are really no perceivable setbacks aside from losing a Battle and the excruciatingly long time it takes to train soldiers.
Despite its many shortcomings, Urban Warfare does get a few things right. Take Quests, for example. While they've surely been done before, it's somewhat reassuring to know that Blue Shell at least realizes that these have essentially standard to guide players along in social games. Taking a cue from games like CityVille, players can visit their friends' cities to provide them with boosts to supplies. Alright, I'll admit it: that's all I can think up. For Pete's sake, the game allows players to pay coins for decorations that have no benefit whatsoever besides a sliver of XP. I can get more XP in an instant by pummeling Random Newbie #27.
The game offers a paid currency known as Reward Points (sound familiar?), but I would strongly recommend you not spend your hard-earned dollars on a game with little to no animation or interesting artwork and a gameplay dynamic that doesn't feel complete before really getting to know it. It's a shame too, because the initial premise is spot-on and has loads of potential for the next big social game, which Blue Shell deserves credit for. Unfortunately, it's in the execution that Urban Warfare goes AWOL.
