Animal Farm Games for Girls Only

Harvest Moon DS Cute

First seen in English in 1997 on the Super Nintendo, "Harvest Moon" is a series of games that has spanned multiple video game platforms. The Nintendo DS game "Harvest Moon DS Cute" is one of the first games to see an American release that features a female farmer as the protagonist. Not only can you tend to crops, but you can raise livestock and even woo and marry a young man in the town. You can interact with your animals by using the DS touch screen and stylus to stroke, brush, milk or shear your animals.

Girl gamers with an iPod Touch, an iPad, an iPhone or an Android started getting access to "Harvest Moon Pocket Ranch" in early 2011. The first "Harvest Moon" game for an i-device, "Harvest Moon Pocket Ranch" is an offering from Play Phone Social featuring 11 stylized characters who grow vegetables and tend to animals. The game is perfect for the portable wireless device, as it's ideal to play in short bursts every few hours. The more often you check in, the better condition your farm and animals will be in.

While you may find a guy playing "FarmVille," this Facebook and iPhone app game is most popular with girl gamers. The colorful, adorable designs make the game pleasant to look at. Although the 2009 release of "FarmVille" came first, "FarmVille" is perpetually updated and a gamer needs to check in often to keep crops healthy and animals happy. The game features one of the most wide selections of animals to raise. You can take care of everything from the typical cow and chicken to a tiger and even a unicorn.

"Farm Mania," a computer game, tells the story of Anna, a young girl who moves to the country to help her grandparents run an ailing farm. A feature unique to "Farm Mania" is the arcade mode. When playing in casual mode, you can farm at your own pace. In arcade mode, you're up against the clock and time passes by quickly. You may elect to undertake an animal-raising goal in arcade mode, such as raising a certain number of sheep or chickens before the clock stops.
