The Sims (PC): Great fun, highly addictive!! (135 words)

I love this game and I'm not sure why. Probably because I'm a control freak. I started playing it in 2002 when it was forced upon me by a friend and I developed an unhealthy addiction!! Things got to a point though where I'd done everything and knew all the cheats so it got a bit boring. Huzzah for all the expansion packs you can get!! Unfortunately, there's only so much one PC can take and mine decided it had had enough halfway through the Sims Unleashed was being loaded... So that had to be the end of my Sims addiction. ...Til the Sims 2 came out! If only life was as easy as the Sims make it look... I wish turning up to work happy and on time got ...

****The sims**** *Introduction* The sims game for those who have not yet encountered it,is a simulation game where you simulate everyday life(continue reading for a more detailed discription). The reason I have decided to write this op on the sims,is not just as it is fun and has playable gaming factor,but also to look at it in a very different light.Whilst it is unmistakeably a game,it has amazing educational value,something very often overlooked by many parents who sit playing it hour after hour. When I discovered this game I had been playing it for several weeks before it occured to me how valuable this could be in teaching my children ... Read the complete review

There's this woman I know who really is in trouble. She's in love with four different men (one of them married): and a woman (his wife) – and they all live together in the same house. She's unemployed, and depends on them all for income. Luckily for her she's got some creative ability: she's an excellent cook, and she can knock up five or six wooden painted garden gnomes in about half an hour. When her child (she's not actually sure who the father is) comes home from school, she manages to get out of the hot tub for a bit and listen to her, like any good mother would. But her child is struggling at school, and if she doesn't get ... Read the complete review

An interesting concept that SIMply fails to impress (2084 words)

I have always been interested in Simulation games, ranging from the abstract to the real; with games like Zoo Tycoon, Civilization III, Black and White, Sim City III, I have been able to sample a wide range of simulation games. It was therefore inevitable that I would purchase ?The Sims?. ?The Sims? is a slightly different game for me as most games I have played of this type have involved management of resources, economies etc; most f these games have been abstract and to a certain extent not quite real. However, ?The Sims? has its feet firmly planted in reality. There was no doubt for me that the quality of the game would be good as the makers of Sim ... Read the complete review

What is it with The Sims? After buying the game over a year ago when it was newly released it has not slipped out of the Top 10 PC charts and, thanks to the two expansion pack’s, its popularity is still incredibly high. Are people buying three copies each or something? Briefly, The Sims is just like Sim City 3000 (the sad obsession with Llamas is still here) but its far more scaled down, whereby you control a family or just one person little lives. This can be done successfully, with them having a respectable job, a nice relationship and a clean house, or they can turn to a life of crime, have relationships with both men and women and live in a run down ...
