Metro - Here we go again for the fourth time in the UK, Animal Crossing has arrived to change the way you think about the world (literally). A lot has been said about how video games make you violent (or not as the case maybe) but no ones ever studied how Animal Crossing, Fallout or other such all-encompassing games affect the brain and the behaviour of us balding apes.

Default Prime's Lucas Stephens writes, "Animal Crossing is now more than 10 years old. During these 10 years, the franchise has never really had a true evolution. Animal Crossing: Wild World on the DS brought a few new ideas to the DS, but it felt too familiar to the Gamecube classic. When Animal Crossing showed up on the Wii in the form of City Folk, it only recycled those idea that Wild World brought, truly making the franchise feel stagnant. Announced well before the 3DS launched, Animal Crossing: New Leaf promised to reinvigorate a tired franchise. Was waiting over two years for this title well worth the wait?"

"After an excruciating day, the last thing you'd use to relax is something mentally draining. As a go-to escape, you would, in all likelihood, instead gravitate to something mindless or otherwise less involving, purely as a distraction. This is one reason why a series like Animal Crossing may be dismissed, for being just on the verge of demanding too much commitment. Another is that its vibe may be perceived as childish, seemingly alienating more mature crowds in its animal-driven society. But if you seek a measure of ease from real-life experiences or just a shift from labour-intensive exercises, Animal Crossing isn't something to scoff it. No, it should be readily embraced." -- Wiiloveit.com

New leaf is a beautiful achievement. But, for all the joy it brings you now, it may also bring you sadness and disappointment in the future. I revisited my towns from the past GameCube and DS games, and didnt receive the warm welcome I was expecting.

Dustin Spencer from Capsule Computers writes: "Animal Crossing first broke ground on the GameCube, bringing us in the west a simulation experience unlike anything else. Fast forward over ten years, and we have already seen two stallments, with Animal Crossing: New Leaf ready to give us a dose of Nook and company for a whole new generation. This time around, you take the role as Mayor of your very own community, tasked with customizing a town to fit both your own and the many fuzzy inhabitants needs. Does this portable installment stand above its predecessors, or does this New Leaf wilt fresh off the train?"
