It’s Time to Go Camping in Country Story

Country Story’s newest item theme asks users to curl up around a forest campfire and tell spooky ghost stories while making s’mores.
The camping theme includes such items as the campfire itself, along with a lantern, tent, bear warning sign, and even a bear that takes up a frightening pose (yet not too scary, as I [...]

Register for Country Story Emails, Receive White Rabbit

While most Facebook games implemented a system of exclusive email items weeks ago, Playfish has just now gotten around to adding an incentive item to Country Story.
For all users that sign up to receive email updates for the game, they’ll receive a free white rabbit. The rabbit is exclusive, meaning that the only way you’ll [...]

Off With Their Heads! Country Story Celebrates Alice in Wonderland

Over on the Country Story fan page, developer Playfish has announced the arrival of some Alice in Wonderland themed items to the game’s marketplace:

Add a Touch of Magic to Your Farm in Country Story

Country Story has always been the more realistic of the Facebook farming simulations, receiving item updates of objects that you would normally see on a farm (or not a far stretch from it). An exception has been made to that standard, as this week saw the release of a Mystical Item pack to the game.

Country Story Gives Treants the Axe

Wow. I have never seen Playfish backpedal from a feature so quickly, but at least it’s good to know they do listen to their players. In a post on the Country Story forums this morning, a Playfish representative confirmed that, due to overwhelmingly negative feedback, yesterday’s new “Treant” feature would be removed from the game.
“We [...]

Country Story Update Adds Treants, Rock Star Items

You know what’s missing from the authentic farming experience in Country Story? Disco balls and gyrating hippos named “Lady Haha.” Good thing Playfish has added these items, and more, to their Facebook farming game. Most of all, however, the new update has implemented quite a few changes in the way we’ll be farming for fruit [...]

Country Story Update Brings Western Items, Charity, and a Contest, Pardner

Yee-haw! Now this here’s a real Country Story, what with this week’s update from Playfish lettin’ us turn our farms into Western-type ranches. That’s just for starters, though, so hang onto yer hats!
First of all, seems Playfish wants to do the neighborly thing for victims of the Haiti earthquake. If all of us can come [...]

Country Story Update is Turning Japanese

Facebook farmers, study up on your kanji and be sure to take your shoes off when you come inside: The theme for this week’s Country Story update is Japan. Playfish has added 24 new decorations to the shop, as well as added two new magic trees to the lineup. I’m certainly glad for that last [...]

Country Story Update Adds Item Rewards, Terrifying Transparent Bears

A new batch of updates have sprouted up in Playfish’s Country Story today, bringing with them plenty of new items. Not all of these items, however, are in the in-game store; the game has also added quest-exclusive decorations, only attainable through gameplay, as well as a new rewards system for bringing new farmers to the [...]

Country Story Update Adds New Crops and Items, Dozens of New Quests

Like my colleague, Ms. Hancock, I’m a Facebook farming fan; my agricultural diversion of choice is Country Story, a Playfish app. The farming game has all the earmarks of its rural contemporaries, including plowing, planting, animal management, and so on. I’ve been playing the game for several months now — my farm is a respectable [...]
