Farm living is the life for us. Believe it or not, the Harvest Moon series is ten years old now, yet the simple and joyful acts of working the land and taking care of critters are as bewilderingly appealing now as they were a decade ago. Sure, there’ve been umpteen versions of the game since the original, but none on the PSP – until now, that is, in the form of Innocent Life: A Futuristic Harvest Moon.
