Harvest Moon: Boy & Girl on the Handheld

Posted on Oct 15, 2008 12:33:10 PM

Our beloved PlayStation Portable is desperate to tell you about the latest mind-blowing title available for it. We are talking about none other than the beautiful amalgamation of two superb games, Harvest Moon: Back to Nature and Harvest Moon for Girls, into one all inclusive game entitled Harvest Moon: Boy & Girl.

The title completely puts you in charge of planning and maintaining each and every aspect of your farm, including everything from the field to the livestock. The title involves four seasons and each is composed of 30 days. It is the predecessor to most modern day Harvest Moon titles, like Harvest Moon for the Wii. Harvest Moon: Boy & Girl is further punctuated with several local events in which you can participate. Before actually planting crops, as an authorized field manager and an owner, you must first properly weed and plow the land. Then the planted crops need to be systematically watered and harvested. On the other hand, your beloved animals also deserve care and protection, so they also need to be fed, but don’t overboard as you still need food for yourself. The title allows you to work yourself into the ground, before finally collapsing from exhaustion.

Once you’re through with your duties and tasks you can then spend the rest of your time as you please. The title begins with a prompt where you must decide between a boy and a girl. But make no mistakes, despite the name of the title, the decision is completely superficial. No matter who you select for the farm, the village and people you encounter will treat you identically, only the backstories are different. The boy in the game is the grandson of a local farmer and he comes to claim that the land belongs to him. But things aren’t as simple as it appears, as the Mayor of a nearby Town clarifies that the dilapidated farm is yours as long as you can turn it fertile again and gain the acceptance of your fellow villagers within 3 years. On the other hand, the girl was a passenger aboard a ship wrecked in a storm and she coincidently washes up on Mineral Town’s beach. Then after being found by an inhabitant the mayor heard her tale and showed his benevolence by giving her a farm so that she might get love and happiness again.

Innocent Life Will Let You Live in Future

Posted on Oct 6, 2008 12:59:51 PM

As a successor of the Harvest Moon series, Innocent Life: A Futuristic Harvest Moon is a pleasant and fun-filled game, designed to give you the feeling of starting life afresh. There are actually many reasons to like the Harvest Moon games, be it on account of the great gameplay, amazing graphics or interesting plots. The publisher Natsume has incorporated all these features, along with using a captivating story, in this latest PSP title.

The Innocent Life takes players to an isolated island like other Harvest Moon titles. So what is so new about the game? Well this time around the island is futuristic and allows you to control life in an era that is yet to come. If you find the story a little complicated in the beginning, I advice you to be patient because it is only a short phase. Beginning in the year 2002, the Harvest Moon: Innocent Life (PSP) takes you to a small and scarcely populated island named Heartflame. However, you are not one of these residents; instead you play a robot created by Dr. Hope. As a robot, you have the privilege of revealing all those areas that are hazardous to humans, such as the island’s ominous volcano. Robots are made to work, so you start your mission to help the residents in solving the mystery of the volcano. Another important task for you is to update the farming knowledge of the innocent inhabitants.

If your playing skills are good enough to solve the gem system, you will be able to unlock the seals surrounding the island. This will open a way to many new places for you to explore a lot more. The concrete graphics and friendly controls are among the other favorable points of Innocent Life. Above all, the futuristic theme is the strongest motivator to make the game worth-playing.

The game is overall out of the ordinary, and includes the usual charm of the Harvest Moon series. You will experience a great thrill in the role of a robot, doing grid-based cultivation and communicating with the humans. He is actually a machine with a heart, made to match the challenges of the future.
