Orchard

"Bearing this in mind, Orchard comes somewhat hard to recommend. While green-thumbed gamers may appreciate its soothing country soundtrack, complex set of featured economic interrelationships and extended length, realize. Most will simply be bored to tears, and quickly fire up the tractor and head for greener pastures instead. "

"Orchard does have a certain Zen-like appeal, but as far as providing challenges and rewards that keep gamers coming back, it's really lacking. The design puts only the most minor obstacles in the way of the player's success, so solving each level is more a matter of just going through the motions until you sell the right number of items to meet the level goals. We're not expecting Harvest Moon here, but to qualify for the tycoon game label that's used to describe this game over at iWin.com, we definitely need to see that the player is fighting against something other than sheer boredom. The game isn't worth the twenty dollar asking price but you can sign up at iWin for a free hour-long demo if you like."
