Game: Farmer Jane

As popular a theme as agriculture has become with casual game developers lately, you'd think it was the newest pop culture sensation, not a hardscrabble means of eking out a living that's rapidly losing steam in North America. Still, just in case you missed the numerous other rurally-influenced simulations released in the past three months alone, now there's Farmer Jane which, unlike competitors, packs slick 3D visuals.Unsurprisingly for a title that otherwise offers no major innovations, relying instead on a suave presentation and polished play mechanics to carry the day, it quickly proves an endearing choice, if slightly less conducive to long-term play.
