I had to look this up on here~!
So I know it seems a bit just like a contradiction unless you are a totally twisted. War should not be happy times. Inside the gaming world though it can be very true if you find yourself having fun on a silly playing game that is also free. Yep I wonder how many people ceased reading and started downloading with that last statement because Happy Wars takes the big RPG mechanics of a PC and makes them some simple fun on XBLA.
When two tribes go to war… well in this instance it’s two kingdoms and they battle daily over such things as what is more robust a hippo or an elephant, favorite games, the weather, politics, you know the usual things everyday arguments result in that generally don’t turn into war lol. Oh yea and a little princess gets kidnapped at one point just in case I forgot to mention that, which in turn really is a excellent and ancient reason for war. There actually is a storyline on the single player campaign though I imagine a lot of folks will dedicate themselves to multiplayer because it is an absolute blast.
I pointed out they fight over hippos versus elephants right? Well the visuals and sound are as goofy as the reasons they fight. Enormous heads on little bodies all with cartoony features and silly atmospheres combine with wacky noises and Saturday morning music to make this a game that visually doesn’t take itself seriously and aspires for fun instead of realism.
Items such as armor, weapons and charms, can be acquired numerous ways: earned in combat, won by gambling in game credits or bought with real world dollars. Commonly this bothers me pretty bad since it means the game is free to play but fork out to win. However this game struck a decent enough balance that yes you could pay and level fast and be tougher but if you don’t it is still fun. Also it has a single player campaign as well as multiplayer so you can play against a very good AI if you choose to and that AI won’t be running around wi... Read the rest of this Review

Big Fan
The harvest moon series has always been a favorite of mine all the way back to the first one. In this game you plant take care of and harvest crops. You can built on to and advance the buildings on your farm. You can make lots of friends, get married and have children. There of course are secrets to be discovered. You basically live the life of a farmer and it's a cool game for anyone that is interested in games like this.
I would say the only thing I don't like, is the harvest moon games you can't farm in, and how they all are very similar. Even know they still have me hooked, I would prefer one that is way different, because all of the farming ones seem very similar to me. So this is my first review on anything ever and I hope its good. Thanks for reading everyone!
