Farm Town is the new gaming application on the sence, I join in yesterday and I think I might be an addict already!!! Its on the same par as Scabulous (that is if you were any good at scrabble of course).  So whats it all about, when the application is installed the user is given a “plot” of land to use as a farm to plow, grow, harvest and sell the crops.  Whats the aim of the game well to be better than everyone else isn’t that the point of most games .  The graphics are fantastically done and as my other half reminded her of transport tycoon probably the best game that was ever made for the PC.

Its also possible to plant fruit trees and also to have animals living on the farm, since I’ve not been on the game long enough I do not have that good screen shots.  But looking through all the things that can be brought if you become a serious player is Houses, ponds, rivers, larger farms the list is endless.  Currently the game is in beta so I’m sure this list will grow over time.

Here is a couple of screen shots for those of you who are not quite hooked yet….

This screenshot is of my farm but as you can see its not that large yet, but if you save up your pennies or if you have more money then sense if you ask me you can pay money by using paypal.

This is a friends farm who has been playing a couple of weeks now and so has a HUGE farm.  Its great that you can wonder around other peoples farms and look what people have done.  Its also possible to get jobs working for others if your farm isnt satisfying the addition.

One thing that I’ve not quite understood is the need for mobile wireless at least from my perspective and probably most peoples. If I was a high powered business man that travelled alot I can see why it would be useful having the ability to check my emails on the move. The handful of times that Ive been away on business the lack of mobile wireless has been offset by hotel connections that are cheaper (just). But when I’m away on holiday its so nice (god forbid I’m going to say this) to be away from the computer.

Why do I need to check my friends status on facebook? I dont care I’m on holiday…. I’ve seen a number of people updating there facebook status when on holiday. I’m guility of doing it when on a business trip but so far never when on holiday.

MAybe I’ve missed the point of it all or maybe I’m just not as big a geek as I first thought…
