| You Can Farm from Your Couch With Farming Simulator 2013
Added: 10.09.2013 2:24 | 10 views | 0 comments
The game Farming Simulator was once ironically beloved. Now gamers are ready to get serious, moving the action from their desks to the couch. Starting this week Farm Simulator 2013, previously only for PCs, will be is available for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in Europe and Japan, with an American arrival expected soon.
Giants Software, a European-based developer, first released Farming Simulator in 2011, to surprise success. Surprising to some because the game is quite simply as advertised: it realistically simulates farming, without any of the typical thrills and action offered by modern-day video games. Users plant fields, harvest crops, care for and feed livestock.

Metal Arcade: Jason Bakker writes:
I discovered the Skylanders craze pretty late in the game, when I came across a display for Skylanders Giants in a Toys R Us. It definitely caught my eye, and once I realized that the toys you bought in the store are actually brought to life in the game, I had to play it for myself. After putting a large amount of hours into it, I am happy to report that Skylanders Giants is not only an incredibly cool concept, but also a really enjoyable game.
