It was met with a fair amount of good press and critical acclaim, receiving higher scores than any of the previous three NFS releases.

Rune FactoryI picked up a copy of Rune Factory for the DS because it’s a “fantasy Harvest Moon” game. This intrigued me since the Harvest Moon games can be fun and addicting.
