The girlfriend and I are currently hooked on Brain Age. Her current brain age is 20 (the best you can get) and mine is 36 (lame). I think we (Jon^ & I) have a co-worker who's into Harvest Moon. I'll get back to you. I bought Animal Crossing for the DS and the open-endedness(word?) of it just makes me want to play Oblivion. The girlfriend and I are currently hooked on Brain Age.

I think we (Jon^ & I) have a co-worker who’s into Harvest Moon. I’ll get back to you.

Personally, I would love to see them beef up the online component, introduce a robust marketplace where players can speculate on the turnip market, trade patterns, or develop cross breeds of fruit. Though, at the end of the day we'll likely get it for whatever elements it has as the game play in of itself is so markedly different than many games out there. BTW, anyone try Harvest Moon and if so is it worth buying?

Unless they really mix up the game play for the Wii, I doubt I will get the next installment.
