Harvest Moon is an RPG?

Isn't it a simulation / strategy series?

Rune Factory, which I think is somehow 'related' to, spun-off from, and/or integrated with Harvest Moon (which I suspect Greg was thinking of) is more of an RPG -but-

Yep; HM is more of a Sim.

Eh, probably, I've just always considered it JRPG-esque - I know there's a storyline you play through, etc which there usually isn't in most strictly sim games.  But of course you don't get into random encounters with cows & chickens.  :P

Or...do you???   :o

Went to a local shop and got Viewtiful Joe for the GameCube a few days ago. Then I went to an EB Games that I don't often go to and found some games fo' cheap.
-Resident Evil 6
-Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble (PSP)
I'm really enjoying Viewtiful Joe even though I'm not a huge beat-em-up fan.
Currently playing: Persona 5 (PS4)

Ahhhhhh okay. lol For some reason, in my head, I was associating budget with a value game. One of those shovelware titles you'd see in a cardboard box in a department store. So yeah, I would totally agree its a game made on a "low" budget in comparison to something like Crysis or whatever have you.

Yeah, I realized that the way I was using "Budget" could've been kind of unclear there  :)

Not long after my post the door bell rings and it's the mailman bringing me a present.  ;D

I finally got a Sega Mark III complete in box. Only cost $150, cheap considering most want over $300 for this console.
Now I have a complete Sega SG-1000 Mk I through III all complete in their box.  ;D ;D ;D

Swung by TRU.  Unfortunately they didn't have the PS3 Skylanders starter sets on sale, just the sets that assume you already have the portal.  Oh well, still grabbed these things for about $21 after tax - not bad at all.  :)
