  Hi all, back again. I’m reviewing the Sims 3.
  
  This is going to be rather short, since I couldn’t get into the game at all.
  
  Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not a newcomer to the Sims, and I still play Sims 2 to this day.
  
  Graphics: The Sims 3 has opted for a more realistic approach than the Sims 2. The game feels a lot “darker” and cleaner. The Create-a-Sim mode is terribly bland and lacks
  tons of customizations. There is no “normal”-looking hair; and it appears that the presets featured don’t happen to look so hot on the actual sim.
  
  EA plans to release downloadable content for money via the Sims Exchange, but spending money for something EA used to give for free is a big ripoff. The characters’ faces seem a lot more “doughy,” and the facial expressions lack the spark that the much more surreal Sims 2.The graphics ...
- are nothing bad though, the new presentation has to grow on you.
  
  Gameplay: I think this is what falters the most. It feels as if EA hasn’t worked out all the kinks, and released an unfinished game. One new introduction is nice: The Personality Trait system. Sims can be slobs, extremely clumsy, forgetful, romantic etc. It’s a cute new idea, but I don’t find myself endeared enough to play the game because of it.
  
  Gameplay is now
  continuous, and the loading times is mercifully short. Sims can run around town without the god awful loading times that plagued the Sims 2.
  
  Overall Impression: I do believe that I need more time to try and enjoy Sims 3, but I don’t have the money to keep buying expansion packs. I suggest waiting until modders tweak the game. EA expects at least 50 dollars from the buyer to do the same thing with less quality.

The Sims 2 Fashion Show

You guys wouldn't believe how much entertained I was when I played The Sims 2 Fashion Show. This is super, super awesome and I think this is one of the best in The Sims game genre. There are just loads of nice characters or should I say models and ...

My favorite game of all time is The Sims. I have always enjoyed it ever since it first came out. There have been several releases of this game but I will review The Sims 2. The Sims 2 is a great game because the sims now have better movements, the ...

This past Christmas, i bought my wife a new Nintendo DS. And, with it, I purchased the game Sims 2 for her. Even though it is her game, I did take a couple hours to sit down and play it; just to see what it was like. While I thought ...

Sims 2 was an instant hit the year it was launched, and later went on to become a best selling game. I had the privilege of playing Sims and its expansion packs. So after playing it, I became curious about what new additions have been done in Sims 2. ...

The Sims, released in 2000, is a fairly old game now. However, I still value it as one of the best games in existence, and certainly in my collection. The concept of the game is simple; create a person, known as a 'Sim', and have them live their lives. You ...

This is a really good game to keep you being really creative. This game is really suitable for all ages. You can create your own human, make them have families, and pets. You can create homes in your own designs and make them have a job to support ...

Sims Makin Magic Expansion Pack

Even though there is a new and some might say improved Sims game on the market called the Sims 3, there is nothing wrong with the original. I have been a fan of the Sims games since they have been on the market, and the originals might not hold ...

The Sims Superstar Expansion Pack

I know that for many gamers, they are very familiar with the Sims 3 and not so much interested in the Sims Original games. However, being a lover of the originals and the newer games, I find that even the original games hold a great form of entertainment and ...

The Sims 2: Free Time

I am a huge fan of The Sims 2, a PC game in which you get to control a family that you get to create. You can give them interests, hobbies, and even get them on the right track to a successful education or career. I recently purchased The ...

The Sims 3 Collector’s Edition

I have been playing The Sims games for 8 years, from the original Sims to The Sims 2 and now The Sims 3. When I heard The Sims 3 was coming out back in June 2009, I waited in anticipation for months. I pre-ordered the more expensive Collector's Edition, ...

The Sims 2 Double Deluxe PC Game

I am a major fan of the Sims PC games. Although this is one of the older games, I still have so much fun playing it. The premise of the game is simple- it has been about 20 years or so since the original Sims game and ...

The Sims 3 for PC

I just bought the new Sims 3 game and I have to say that the graphics are phenomenal. The game play is so much better than previous Sims games. There is so much more to see and do. And the camera angels are much more user friendly- though they ...

The sims2 is probably the best game that i've ever played (and i've played a lot of games.) It's similar to the sims in many ways, you still get to create your family and get them jobs, design their houses and build their skills but there is more purpose to ...

The Sims 2 is such a fun game! We have The Sims 2 for GameCube, as well as for our computers, but in this case, I will review The Sims 2 for the GameCube player. Each platform that you play The Sims 2 on will be a slightly different ...

Sims has always been one of my favorite games, so it was only natural that I eagerly awaited the release of Sims 3. We opted out of getting the more expensive bundle for the cheaper straight Sims 3 game since I really didn't need the other one. The first thing ...
