Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life (Game Cube, 2004)

I really love this game, it is very addictive so be prepared to spend a lot of time in front of your TV. It is a lot of fun and you actually get see how life would be on a farm - you work hard to earn your money. Like real life the harder you work, the more money you earn. If you are wanting to earn a lot of money the easiest way is buy tree seeds early and then after a year each tree will produce a lot of fruit and if you get the seed maker each fruit is worth as much the original seed you bought, but be careful that you don't plant too many. I kind of overdid after I bought my seed maker and ended up with a lot of trees - each tree gives you 24 fruits and your bag only holds 99, you can put another 99 in your frigerator. You can bargain with Van, the traveling sales man that you can sell things to or buy them from him to try and earn more money - sometimes it takes a couple tries before he will offer more money but it usually worth the try, can be worth 20% more, the little stuff he won't make a higher bid on, but it is something you will have to do until you learn what he will make a higher bid on. Also, when it comes time to buy a cow, it will take a year for her to be ready to breed so she will give you milk, the more expensive the cow, the higher price you get for her milk, so you might want to wait just a little until you have the extra money for a higher price cow, it will be worth it. Hope you have fun. I know I have been.
