John Deere American Farmer - The Game

Thanks to GameSpot for its story discussing the new release of agriculture-themed PC videogame John Deere American Farmer, "the first game to be licensed by agricultural equipment manufacturer Deere & Company", which "charges players with establishing and maintaining a successful farm." The official videogame site has much more information on this Harvest Moon-esque value-price PC title with a great box cover, noting the player must "overcome bug infestations, unpredictable weather and disgruntled employees", all the while "purchasing and controlling authentic John Deere branded equipment - tractors, combines, planters, cultivators and more."

Nah, they need to tailor it to match the discerning tastes of today's online FPS player.

Behold - l33t f4rm3r!

Jump into your nitro-boosted tract0r and race round the generic post-apocalyptic countryside idyll, chasing off campers with your laser shotgun! Powerups, headshots and sh33p await those who can master the 'g1t 0rf m01 l4nd!!1' gameplay! Collect the EU-subsidy Quad-bike Damage and obliterate your evil foes the supermarkets - and maybe, just maybe, capture control of the elusive c0mb1ne h4rvest0r, and win the game!

Ahem.
