Harvest Moon (DS)

I got very excited when i saw my daughter had received Harvest Moon for her DS on her birthday. Lately I had seen it advertised more and more on tv and it looked like a game I could easily get lost in. My poor daughter didn't stand a chance as I whisked it away from her after a couple of hours, on the promise that I would have a look at how it worked and help her play the game! The general idea of Harvest Moon is to run your own farm, growing crops, rearing animals and making lots of money in the form of Gold to increase your business. As I said that is the general idea, there is of course a lot more to the game than this. The storyline starts you ...  Read the complete review

In this game you get to be a farmer, so basically you get to sit back and moan about the fact that you cannot move your livestock due to the latest bout of infections, game over all done, well not exactly but to be honest the actual game is about as satisfying to play. The storyline is a bit convoluted but basically you have to grow crops in order to bring the Harvest Goddess back from a different dimension. Basically you have a farm on which you must grow crops, as you accumulate gold from selling the crops you can expand your operation and build ne w farm buildings you can even use the money to get yourself a wife which could take the form of a mermaid if ...  Read the complete review

Having enjoyed a few games from the Harvest Moon series, seeing this one advertised made me grab it quick. The basics of the game are simple; you own a farm, you grow crops, raise livestock, make money, get married, have kids, voila. Boring?

Some are easy enough to bring back whilst others are more difficult. Even getting ...  Read the complete review

****Harvest moon for ds **** I purchased this because i was a fan of games such as mysims,final fantasy and other games that involved role playing. In this game you get to be a farmer and raise horses,cows,sheep,chickens and ducks.You can also grow crops,go digging in the mines and get married/start a family. I realise that not everyone likes this type of game but if its your thing this game will last you hours and hours.The main task of the game is to find the 101 harvest sprites and bring the harvest goddess back.Sounds simple but some of the sprites are hard to find.When this is done or before its done there are loads of other things to ...  Read the complete review

In the office I work in, when the weather is nice, we go for a walk at lunchtime to get the blood flowing round the body again rather than just sitting in our feet having been sat down all morning. As weel as the good exercise, it's nice to have a break from work as it is so very ewasy to end up back at your desk having had your lunch and often you end up working again. However, during the winter months it is often the case that the weather is not suitable for walking in, so what can you do to ensure you take a break at lunch? Having got bored of spending so much time on the internet during my lunch breaks I turned to playing games. I got an old SNES and a ...  Read the complete review
