Animal Crossing: Let’s Go To The City (Wii)
Jun 5th
Made it my mission last night to talk to all the animals and ignore the business side of things. Somehow managed to miss out talking to Chester, though. Gala seems to want to move out. She’s nice enough, but I won’t stand in her way.

I hardly talk to the animals these days, I’m all about buying and selling. I’m all about Nook’s reward points at the moment. Last night I got up Silver membership and unlocked the 4,000 point prize, which I won’t spoil.
Also, Redd finally sold me a real Famous Painting. Hooray!

My wife was playing this when I got home last night, so I went and had a lovely bath and read the Fortean Times. When I got out, she stopped playing and I had a go. It really is very good. I find collecting essences a little tedious at times, but that’s my only complaint. The rest is great. It looks gorgeous, it controls well, there’s enough scope for my own creativity even at this early stage and the writing is genuinely good.

I caught a fire fly! And an eel! They both went to the museum. I also found the money rock, got all the money from it and bought everything in Nook’s. Now only a couple of hundred points away from silver membership.

Had barely any time to play this, so just logged on, talked to Chow, then left.

Went to Cheese, home to deKay. He only seemed to have cherries, so I left and came back loaded down with fruit, with I dropped in a huge pile.
It’s amazing how green that town is. I’d forgotten how much lovely grass there is in towns when they’re new, before it all gets trampled down to the brown dirt below.

This arrived from Lovefilm at the weekend. My wife will be playing it to completion before we send it back, but I’d decided not to play it, what with having Demon’s Souls etc. However, after seeing her play it, I couldn’t help but give it a go. It’s charming, funny, looks great and feels a lot more technically solid that the original MySims game. I did the tutorial, then went to an island full fo cowboys… and a pizza chef. Hilarity ensued, along with gentle collecting and building fun. It’s an easy game to play, not just in terms of difficulty, but because it’s got a lovely atmosphere and is always giving you new toys to play with. It’s a generous game and genuinely funny, so it actually makes a perfect dessert after a main course of Demon’s Souls.

Put this on for, ooh, about two minutes, and had a quick run around before turning off. Wasn’t that I didn’t want to play, just that I wanted to play Demon’s Souls a lot, lot more.

Spent all my money of rubbish just to get more points. I’ll need to do some fruit-picking tonight, I guess.

Trying to get my Nook points up now. I hit the 3,000 mark over the weekend, I think. I’m planning to unlock all the prizes before spending any of the points now, though.
