When running down a list of the most iconic films in history, Scarface would undoubtedly be among them. Al Pacino's portrayal of the violent Tony Montana is something to behold and now in the age of video game adaptations, we can jump into his shoes (virtually at least) via [Fuse Powered][2]'s Scarface on iPhone and iPad.
>From a pure gameplay standpoint, Scarface plays as a combination between a basic city-builder and a 3D mission-based experience like [Zynga][3]'s [Mafia Wars 2][4]. The first scenes of the movie are played out for you via still images and audio clips, until you're eventually given control of Tony and are told to build up his empire by taking control of local businesses (that is, building them in your town) and completing quests to earn more money and respect on the side.
On the one hand, the city-building gameplay sees you using in-game cash or the semi-premium currency (Kilos of "Resources") to build a variety of businesses, ranging from gift shops and hotels to art studios and banks. These businesses pay out extra cash every few minutes or hours, making them profitable over time. They can also be upgraded using your accumulated funds to increase their payout. Additionally, you can construct various pieces to Montana's mansion, adding defense points to your empire. You can expand your land over time, but these expansions are incredibly tiny relative to the amount of coins you'll need to pay to activate them.
While you're waiting for your buildings to turn a profit (or be upgraded or constructed), you can complete a series of Jobs, or quests. These take you through six different locations throughout Miami, ranging from a hip club area to a residential neighborhood or business park. Jobs can be completed using the in-game energy system called "Power," though instead of using one Power point per action, this number varies, with some actions costing as little as 10 Power points, while others can cost two dozen Power points or more for a single action. Needless to say, this causes Power points to run out a bit too quickly, limiting the amount of time you can play in a single session (unless you wish to use some of your Kilos of Resources to refill your Power, that is).
%Gallery-154385%
Either way, your gameplay is accompanied by various audio clips from the movie and the text menus introduce you to plenty of secondary characters from the film. If you're unfamiliar with the movie, this definitely **isn't** an experience for the little ones, as both the in-game text and voice clips are peppered with obscenities and the actions you'll complete aren't exactly friendly (shooting at buildings, beating up or killing pedestrians, etc.). Still, this isn't something unexpected, and these inclusions do help the gameplay stay true to the source material.
All told, Scarface on iOS has gameplay that may be inspired by the film, and may even include images and audio from the film, but the gameplay is fairly standard in the realm of freemium mobile games. It's interesting that the game comes with a price tag of $0.99, as the in-game microtransactions are normally reserved for entirely free experiences. Still, the game is **free to download for a limited time**, so perhaps this is only a sign of things to come.

Hidden Chronicles Coin Fountain: Win up to 1 million coins each day
![][1] While coins may not be as important as energy in [Hidden Chronicles][2], they still allow you to purchase all sorts of decorations and buildings for your estate, which can then be used to unlock additional scenes. Since this is a cycle that we can't really avoid, why not help increase you in-game bank account by adding to it with up to one million coins each and every day? You can now have a chance at doing just that by building the Coin Fountain on your Estate.
The Coin Fountain requires building parts to construct:
* 3 Aqua Vitae
* 8 Fintail Goldfish
* 5 Marble Blocks
* 4 Mosaic Tiles
* 1 Trident
The Marble Blocks and Tridents are earned by asking your friends to send them to you via individual requests, while the other three items are earned via general news posts on your wall. Once the Coin Fountain is finished, you'll be able to collect from it once every nine seconds for a chance at up to 1 million coins.
To be specific, you'll spend two energy each time you wish to collect from the fountain, and are guaranteed to get some amount of coins in return - that's right, this is the first time a fountain has ever given us coins, rather than the other way around. There's no guarantee that the coins you'll receive will be great or small, but there _is_ a chance for one million coins, which would definitely be worth the two energy investment, wouldn't you say?
**What do you think of this Coin Fountain? What would you do if you received 1 million coins in Hidden Chronicles? Sound off in the comments.**

Pioneer Trail Town Hall: Everything you need to know
![][1] Even though we've cleared out and claimed quite the chunk of land out in the frontier of Pioneer Trail, apparently our homestead has yet to be added to the official Frontier Map. If you want to rectify that, you'll need to build a Town Hall in your town via a new feature of the same name. First things first, you'll be introduced to Marco the Map Maker, who can add your homestead to the Frontier Map, but only after finishing some goals.
**On Your Marco, Get Set, Go**
* Place the Town Square
* Collect 20 Lemon Extract
* Place the Town Hall
The Town Square is a lovely garden area for your Homestead, while the Town Hall is a new building you'll need to construct. The Lemon Extract is earned by harvesting Lemon Trees. You'll receive 450 XP, two Black Buffalo and three Red Clover for completing this goal.
**Work & Play**
* Craft 1 Town Hall Poster
* Harvest 12 Red Clover
* Activate the Daily Bonus Double
The Daily Bonus Double can be found after you've completed the first phase of the Town Hall's construction. The Town Hall Poster is created using Paint Brushes and Poster Papers, both of which can be earned by asking your friends for help. You'll receive two White Oak Trees, a Town Sign and two Red Eyes for completing this goal.
**Grounds for Fun**
* Craft 2 Park Benches
* Feed 30 Adult Ox
* Finish Cleaning Up
The "Cleaning Up" task details your finishing the second phase of the Town Hall's construction. The Park Benches, meanwhile, are complex crafting projects that require you to first craft metal Bench Frames and then use those with Town Plaques (earned by asking your friends to send them to you) to actually craft complete Park Benches. You'll receive 1,400 XP, two All You Can Eat Meals and two Hickory Tree Saplings for completing this goal.
**Play it Safe**
* Collect 20 Pot Luck Dishes
* Craft 1 Daily Bonus Doubler Reset
* Finish the Town Hall
The Town Hall can be finished by completing its third stage of construction. The Daily Bonus Doubler Reset is crafted using Priority Mail and Boost Permits, both of which are earned via friends' help. For completing this final goal, you'll receive 2,200 XP, two more All You Can Eat Meals and two Hickory Tree Saplings.
>From this point, you can send more Red Clover seeds and Hickory Tree Saplings to your friends via the game's free gifts page. You can also complete a new Town Hall Collection by building and tending to this Town Hall in the future.

The Town Hall Poster is created using Paint Brushes and Poster Papers, both of which can be earned by asking your friends for help. You'll receive two White Oak Trees, a Town Sign and two Red Eyes for completing this goal.
**Grounds for Fun**
* Craft 2 Park Benches
* Feed 30 Adult Ox
* Finish Cleaning Up
The "Cleaning Up" task details your finishing the second phase of the Town Hall's construction. The Park Benches, meanwhile, are complex crafting projects that require you to first craft metal Bench Frames and then use those with Town Plaques (earned by asking your friends to send them to you) to actually craft complete Park Benches. You'll receive 1,400 XP, two All You Can Eat Meals and two Hickory Tree Saplings for completing this goal.
**Play it Safe**
* Collect 20 Pot Luck Dishes
* Craft 1 Daily Bonus Doubler Reset
* Finish the Town Hall
The Town Hall can be finished by completing its third stage of construction. The Daily Bonus Doubler Reset is crafted using Priority Mail and Boost Permits, both of which are earned via friends' help. For completing this final goal, you'll receive 2,200 XP, two more All You Can Eat Meals and two Hickory Tree Saplings.
>From this point, you can send more Red Clover seeds and Hickory Tree Saplings to your friends via the game's free gifts page. You can also complete a new Town Hall Collection by building and tending to this Town Hall in the future.

CastleVille Royal Chateau: Everything you need to know
![][1] Following in the proverbial footsteps of the [Royal Bell Tower][2], another new building has launched in [CastleVille][2]: the Royal Chateau. This building is available before even the Royal Bell Tower, so long as you have the 80,000 coins on hand to purchase it. It's a royal building, meaning that you'll get Castle Points for building it: 280 Castle Points, to be exact.
This building has a fairly large base, and it requires a large number of items to actually construct:
* 10 Stone Blocks
* 8 Gold Bricks
* 12 Hammers
* 8 Light Breakfasts
The Light Breakfasts are earned via a general news post on your wall, while the Stone Blocks can either be crafted or earned by asking your friends to send them to you via individual requests. The Gold Bricks and Hammers need to be crafted manually. Once you've finished this Royal Chateau, you'll be able to collect 2,500 coins in profits, eventually making this building profitable.
All told, there doesn't seem to be a time limit for building this Royal Chateau, nor has a quest been released requiring you to construct it. If, however, you just like the look of this building, or need something to do while waiting for new quests to be released, you can now do just that.
**What do you think of this Royal Chateau in CastleVille? Will you build one in your Kingdom? Sound off in the comments.**

Oprah launches do-gooder Thank You Game on Facebook
![][1]
Oprah officially conquers all forms of media with a new game on Facebook called The Thank You Game.
The game, created by author and game maker Jane McGonigal, works something like this: Every day log into the Thank You Game's Facebook page and check out the Daily Challenge section for suggestions on who to thank. Today's challenge, for example, is 'Say thank you to someone you love."
Once you do the deed, hit the big pink 'I Said Thank You' button, which will then ask for you to enter your name and email address. Then you're given the option to send extra thank yous to friends via their Facebook pages. The goal of the game is to 'Reach everyone in the US and Canada... and another 153 million people worldwide. That's half a billion people in total."
Below is a video of McGonigal and her twin sister discussing the science behind this game, i.e. how actively expressing gratitude will make you healthy, wealthy and wise.
If you find that this whole thing has made you vomit in your mouth a little, you're probably not alone. But, what the hell, why not try it anyway? If you don't want to give Oprah your email address, just make one up. It's all scientifically proven to do you some good, and only a jerk would argue with that.

Dancing with the Stars: Keep Dancing: Casual (clumsy) fans only
![][1]
At first glance of [Dancing with the Stars: Keep Dancing][2], it's tough not to instantly lob questions at it like, "Why make a game all about dancing in the browser?" And even after a preview of the game courtesy of developer and publisher [BBC Worldwide][3], it's difficult to keep ourselves from lobbing that question at this free-to-play, [Unity][4]-based browser game based on the hit show.
Of course, it's entirely possible that a majority of Dancing with the Stars (DWTS) fans simply aren't interested in getting up and dancing around their living room. Regardless, BBC Worldwide has painstakingly crafted a freemium game experience that's faithful to the source material, and has even found a way to incorporate what DWTS is all about: motion capture.
Keep Dancing is the first browser-based free-to-play ([F2P][5]) game this writer has ever seen to use motion capture technology to guide animation. BBC Worldwide executive producer Dyan Williams tells us that the team brought in DWTS dancer Kym Johnson for a three-day motion capture session after three days of choreography and planning. Johnson is behind every move that your in-game avatar will master in-game, and according to Williams, it was the only way to get it exactly right.
"We felt like hand animation just wasn't going to cut it," Williams admits. "To do these kind of movements, to have the fluidity, move things through 3D space and really bring that experience to life, it had to be mo-capped. And it had to be done in 3D."
At launch, there are over 100 dance moves across three styles--Samba, Jive and Tango--to master with your avatar, which can be tweaked using over 100 different customization options. The general gist of Keep Dancing is for players to master these moves from bronze to gold level, which like all F2P games, costs energy. Only after doing this should players even consider taking their moves to the DWTS stage, since they'll be judged upon how well they've mastered the moves in their routine.
Speaking of which, players will have to create their own routines by stringing dance moves together that they've mastered to 15 different licensed songs from artists ranging from artists like Britney Spears to Aretha Franklin. But whether you correctly match dance moves to a given song doesn't really matter--what does matter is whether you "nail it."
While practicing moves and performing them on the DWTS stage, red circles will flash before players' eyes. It will take sharp eyes to notice when these red, spinning circles turn green and click on them in time to make sure each move is pulled off. Final scores directly reflect how many times a player correctly clicks the green circles, so it takes a bit of skill to succeed in Keep Dancing. (But only a tiny bit.)
Social features are a bit light in Keep Dancing at launch, but we're told that they're a top priority for BBC Worldwide to add at a later date. Regardless, the DWTS game is Facebook connected, so expect these features to ramp up considerably some time after launch. (We're told that leader boards and routine ratings are on the way, and season tournaments are a consideration.) Of course, real money currency is present in Keep Dancing, which players can use to buy more energy or premium accessories for their avatars.
All things considered, Keep Dancing is all about getting as close to the real deal as possible. Leaving, you know, _actual dancing_ out of the equation makes that feat especially difficult for BBC Worldwide. Despite that fact, features like motion capture 3D graphics and licensed music help get Keep Dancing pretty dang close. And for fans of the show that might be all they need.

Addicted and proud: Guess what game Katie Couric is hooked on
![][1] Hint: It involves words, friends and sharing one _with_ the other. Former Today Show host and all-around broadcast news anchor Katie Couric joins the ranks of Alec Baldwin, Alice Eve and everyone else on planet in [Words With Friends][2] addiction. The journalist [admitted as much to Us Weekly][3] recently in an exclusive feature titled, "25 Things You Don't Know About Me."
Couric was short and sweet about it, as if it had been on her chest for a while. Well, it was either that or she was simply excited to tell the world that she's down with what's hot in gaming. We're going to guess it was a bit of both, based on the following: "I'm addicted to Words With Friends." Oh, and she's also hooked on puppies ... whatever that means.
Couric joins the ongoing Words With Friends craze that [Alec Baldwin][4] arguably started when he was reportedly removed from a plane for refusing to stop playing. Then, [Star Trek 2 star Alice Eve][5] admitted to some Words With Friends abuse of her own. It's nice to see another celeb in on the action, but really, who isn't at this point? Soon enough, hipsters around the globe will make Scrabble cool again.

GREE nabs next 'Top Girl', Deal or No Deal, 1 vs 100 mobile exclusives
![][1]
Want to play [Deal or No Deal][2] on your iPhone or Android phone? Then you'll have to do it through [GREE][3], the Japanese-gone-global mobile social gaming network headed westward this spring. The same goes for the next release in the popular "[Girl][4]" franchise and [1 vs 100][5] on mobile devices. GREE just announced exclusive deals with [CrowdStar][6] and [iWin][7].
The crux of the deals is that both developers will release future games for mobile devices exclusively on GREE. The next installment of the "Girl" franchise is set to be revealed at the GREE booth during this year's [E3][8] in Los Angeles. Deal or No Deal and 1 vs 100 will be iWin's first mobile games, and will likely channel their respective Facebook versions.
Within the announcement, both CrowdStar CEO Peter Relan and iWin VP of Publishing CJ Wolf share the same sentiment: The future of gaming is on mobile, and it's going to take both strong developers and networks to make it a reality. Both developers and GREE seem to believe that they have what it takes to bring mobile gaming more into the public eye than it already is.
Crowdstar's and iWin's commitment to the mobile games market and focus on high quality social games makes them the ideal partner for us," GREE SVP of Developer Relations and Marketing Eros Resmini said in a release. "We have huge respect for what they have achieved in the marketplace, and are excited to work with them to bring great games to users around the world."

Angry Birds Space is the fastest-growing mobile game in history
![][1] Hey, [Draw Something][2], I'mma let you finish, but [Angry Birds Space][3] is the fastest-growing mobile of all time--_of all time_! [Rovio's][4] star-studded sequel to its ubiquitous mobile game franchise earned 50 million downloads in just 35 days, [GamesIndustry International reports][5]. This beats the record set by [Zynga's][6] new darling, Draw Something, [by 15 million][7].
However, it's important to keep in mind that A.) Angry Birds Space is available on iOS, Android, PC _and_ Mac and B.) Rovio has amassed a cult-like following over the course of just over two years, whereas Draw Something hit the block months ago. Still, this is quite the precedent to set for mobile game makers to come.
"This has been simply amazing, and the whole Rovio team is thrilled to see such a fantastic reception for the game," Rovio said in a release. "We extend our deepest gratitude to all fans of Angry Birds everywhere. While numbers like this certainly say something about the popularity of Angry Birds, for us the main goal is to keep creating fun new experiences that everybody can enjoy!"
Rovio went on to mention that the first major update to Angry Birds Space is now available, which includes a teaser for what's to come. With [Homer potentially on the Angry Birds' side][8] (and 750 million total downloads under its wings), Rovio will surely do whatever it takes to beat its own record.
**Are you surprised that Rovio set the record once again? What do you hope comes next for Angry Birds? Sound off in the comments. [Add Comment.][9]**

Plants vs. Zombies wall stickers on the (semi) cheap at Fab.com
![][1]
Not sure if you've heard of [Fab.com][2], but it's one of the many daily deals sites on the web. But, it's easily one of the best. Every day you can find sales on nifty things like neon toasters, pop art for your cubicle or, as of today, a collection of brand new Plants vs. Zombies wall stickers.
Yes, PopCap has finally decided to merchandise its famous characters in the form of wall art and you can only buy them (for now) on Fab.com. You can buy sunflowers, pea shooters and a garden variety of zombies (get it?), including my favorite, the cranky Newspaper Zombie, who was apparently caught sans pants during the undead apocalypse.
I'd encourage anyone interested to take advantage of the Fab.com deals, too, because these stickers carry a hefty price tag. I'd especially recommend the Zombie & Plant Special Fab set for $69 (pictured above), which is 30 bucks cheaper than you'll be able to find them at retail. I'm still mulling over dropping $60 for that awesome 36x45 Newspaper Zombie.
To invest in your own PvZ stickers, head to [Fab.com's sale][3]. For more info on all of PopCap's new Plants vs. Zombies swag, check out this [news piece from Joe][4], including quotes from the company's merchandising director on whether or not he thinks this whole licensing thing will reach Star Wars type proportions.

Plants vs. Zombies vs. Wallets: PopCap goes merchandising crazy
![][1]
We already know that you love killing zombies all over again with battle-ready plants. But how do you show it? [EA][2]-owned [PopCap][3] has announced swaths of merchandising with numerous partners, all pimping [Plants vs. Zombies][4] (PvZ). This marks the first major merchandising push from the [Bejeweled][5] maker for its brands with some hitting this Spring and more to come.
PopCap's exhaustive list of partners include Bioworld, Funko, Jazwares, MjC, Trends and Walls360. But we know what you really care about: the swag. How about PvZ bracelets, a PvZ wallet or PvZ t-shirts? If that doesn't do it for you, PvZ miniature figurines are on the way featuring the disco zombie, the sunflower, the pea shooter and more.
%Gallery-154342%
Nope, we're not done yet: PvZ pajamas are on the way, along with a calendar and ginormous removable wall stickers of none other than the disco zombie. With the cult following that PopCap's games have amassed over the years, we're surprised it's taken this long before the developer went all out with merchandising deals. Who knows, maybe the plants and zombies will follow [Angry Birds][6] to the silver screen.
"I definitely wouldn't say we avoided merchandise, but we did take our time to make sure we approached the opportunity in a deliberate and strategic fashion," PopCap Director of Brand Merchandising and Licensing Brennan Townley tells us. "PopCap has fielded hundreds of licensing inquiries over the last 3-4 years as consumer and partner demand continued to grow, PopCap made the commitment to develop a comprehensive licensing program. We don't take new ventures lightly and this is no exception."
**Are you psyched about Plants vs. Zombies swag? What other PopCap game do you hope gets the treatment next? Sound off in the comments. [Add Comment.][7]**

Facebook CEO Zuckerberg Sics Beast On Viddy
[![][1]][2]Following Facebook's sudden $1 billion acquisition of photo-sharing service [Instagram][3] earlier this month, any interest shown by Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer [Mark Zuckerberg][4] in other Internet companies was bound to get tongues wagging. And wagging is certainly featured in Zuckerberg's first post to video-sharing app [Viddy][5].
