It seems ironic that, in a medium of entertainment often perceived as synonymous with the phrase "waste-of-time," one of the most popular and revered franchises is that which is entirely focused on simulating the life we all otherwise could be leading ourselves. From a backseat perspective, it's difficult to understand ...

The Sims 3 is...oh.

This is my review of EA's the Sims 2.5 - ugh, I mean Sims 3. This is the third installment of the best selling Sims franchise, and the only one to not have creator Will Wright on the team. At its heart, it's pretty much what you'd expect from a ...

It was always going to be troublesome making a sequel to a game with eight expansion packs. The Sims 2 now lies as a bloated beast, full of features incrementally added throughout the years in small £20 packages, but unbelievably its long overdue sequel The Sims 3 doesn't feel the ...

The Sims 3 is the best in the series, bar none.

Once upon a time, a man named Will Wright came up with an idea for a video game which would let us control the virtual lives of pixelated people known as The Sims. We could mold and shape them to be mirror images of ourselves or of our friends, family ...

I'm going to make this easy, just point out some good and bad things. At the end of this list I will let off some steam about some technical issues. These are picked out of the game straight out of the box without no patches or custom content.The big improvements+ ...

I think it's safe to say nine out of ten people who go on this site have played 'The Sims' sometime in their life whether it be the original, Sims 2 or one of a million expansion packs and console versions. If you didn't like those forget this because you ...

After I have played the first 100 days in one of the originals Sims’s expansion packs, some new information started appear. It was those “did you know that” windows in the top-right corner of the screen, but this time rather than explain how different elements of the game work, ...

Great game, stays true to the originals but adds new features like the tow. I did have problems downloading stuff from the store, so be aware of that. There is also a lack of stuff in the game for your home, but still a great game and very fun. I ...

Best SIMS EVER!

Okay, so there are obviously a bunch of people out there who decide before a game is released that no matter who praises said game, they will not even get close to playing it. A bunch of my gamer friends have proved this time and time again and it's happened ...

This is pretty much exactly what you would expect for a Sims 3 game. It is incrementally better than the Sims 2, and does some interesting things with how character's motivations effect your play. Now, each Sim has a set of "wishes" and a lifetime wish that you need to ...

I loved the first Sims game, I played it solid for about 3 week and loved every moment of it. However, I eventually came to the realization that all I was playing with was a glorified virtual pet. If it needed the toilet I press on the toilet, if it ...

The Sims 3 takes a Big Step from The Sims 2
(
PC

Ever since the first Sims game was released, people wanted a far more advanced version of the game. They got that in The Sims 2 and now, The Sims 3. The Sims 3 captializes on what could have been in The Sims 2. Gameplay in The Sims 3 is what we've ...
