I don't know if any of you have heard of the Harvest Moon game series, but I have been playing them since the Winter of 2006. I currently have Harvest Moon DS, Harvest Moon: Rune Factory, and Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town(a girl version, thank God).
In Harvest Moon DS, you start out as a young, man, (sorry girls...I wish I could be a girl) and your father has just died. You inherit his rundown farm and all of it's content. Your job is to make the farm successful by any means possible. You can own chickens, cows, ducks, and grow crops to make money. These games are definitely like virtual reality. You can marry a local girl of Forget Me Not Valley, or enter in monthly festivals. No matter what you're doing in Harvest Moon, you'll never be bored. A farm game may not sound fun, but you'll never know how great it is if you don't play it...
In Harvest Moon: Rune Factory, you again starr again as a boy, but that won't hold anyone back. Your two jobs are to 1. Make your farm one of the best and 2. Figure out who you were. The boy you starr as, suffered from amnesia, making it all the more exciting. Rune Factory is a Fantasy Harvest Moon, making it even more fun! You travel to mysterious caves, and fight in combat with some pretty stubborn monsters. You can capture them and have them work on your farm. But, like most Harvest Moon games, you can marry, and have one infant.
In Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town, you can finally be a girl! You have some repetitive characters from Harvest Moon DS, but also some added fun with new characters introduced. The only problem I have with this game is that the time seems to pass by very slow. About ten seconds in reality, it ten minutes in this Harvest Moon game. Overall, you get to raise cows, chicken, and even a horse, like Harvest Moon DS. Once more, you can marry, this time, a boy, and have one infant.
Overall, Harvest Moon games can teach you skill, while you are having fun at the same time! Enjoy them!
