<br />
PSP owners can pick up<em> Harvest Moon: Hero Of Leaf Valley</em> and <em>Worms: Battle Islands</em>. <em>Split/Second</em> isn't the only racing game with a demo -- <em>ModNation Racers</em> is also available for a test drive. Check out the full update after the break.</div>

Considering the extent to which <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/farmville"><em>Farmville</em></a> has enraptured the hearts and minds of 95 percent of the Facebook-using populace, we're not surprised that Natsume has decided to bring yet another installment in the <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/harvest-moon"><em>Harvest Moon</em></a> franchise to the States. According to the publisher, American store shelves will play host to <em>Harvest Moon: Hero of Leaf Valley</em> for the PSP in April.<br />
<br />
The game will task you with staving off the expansion of The Funland Corporation's chain of amusement parks into your home town of Leaf Valley. You'll do so in the most logical manner imaginable: by repeatedly performing various agricultural chores. Yeah, that'll show 'em!<br />

Natsume continues milking the <em>Harvest Moon</em> franchise, with a new game coming to the PSP later this year. <em>Hero of Leaf Valley</em> promises to be "the biggest PSP <em>Harvest Moon</em> adventure yet." This time around, players must farm their hearts out in order to save Leaf Valley from the evil Funland Corporation. Multiple endings are promised -- we hope one of them involves your vegetables combining to form a mech that destroys Funland Corp. (That might be unlikely, though.)<br />
<em><br />
Harvest Moon: Hero of Leaf Valley</em> will be available in April for $29.99.<br />
