Coming soon to a Gamecube near you is Nintendo?s genius new franchise, Animal Crossing. A life sim type game set in a cartoony world where you must simply lead a life. The game is inspired by Natsume?s fantastic long running game series Harvest Moon, the self-proclaimed farming sim (how the idea ever got commissioned I?ll never know) and a truly legendary franchise. Now Japanese titles like this rarely reach European shores and so it is with open arms that we greet Natsume?s latest outing, Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life. The game uses a chapter system, the first chapter introduces you to the farm, and it?s animal and the lovely lady?s that inhabit ?Forget-me-not ...  Read the complete review
