EA has announced that February 20, 2009, will mark the rather momentous occasion of stereotypical gamers finally venturing into the brightly lit outside world ... in the game. It's the day The Sims 3, the latest interactive simulation of an annoying, fickle, selfish and lazy race of creatures, will be distributed -- both physically and digitally -- to a bunch of annoying, fickle, selfish and lazy creatures.
If you'd like to append "supercilious" to that list of adjectives, you should consider purchasing The Sims 3 Collector's Edition, which will include an exclusive in-game "Italian-style" sports car for you to maneuver through your envious neighborhood (no wonder those floating diamonds are green). Also included in the package will be a Sims Plumbob USB drive, a tips and hints guide, The Sims 3 Plumbob stickers and, oh yes, the game.

Never bothered to get Sims 2, heard there were like 6 expansions. Was it any good? Will this be?
I'm still happy with The Sims 1 :)

Add two zeros at the end of that six and you get more or less the amount of expansions.

That means I have around 6 or 7 months left to see my wife. She loves The Sims.

I'm scared it'll be a sequel like SimCity Societies.

But you seem to care enough to post a comment about it.

*yawn*
Does anyone actually play Sims for any other reason than trying to get two girls/guys to kiss/sleep together? No? Didn't think so.

As a "hardcore" gamer who owns every current console out there, the Sims 2 was the most hours I put into a game in the past 5 years (Sim City 4 comes in a close second). From the outside, it looks like a casual game, but if you go deep, it is a lot more complex than a lot of people think.
Of course, many ignorant gamers continue to muck up comments section on blogs with noise such as "I don't care about the game" or "It has too many expansions". Yes, the Sims has it's bugs and issues, but before you click on that "Add comment" button you need to ask yourself, "Am I contributing to this discussion with something that others can gain knowledge on?"

I for one, can not wait to buy & play The Sims 3. I don't care if anyone else likes it. I take crap all the time from people saying "How can you play that all the time? Doesn't it get boring? Whats the point?" The point is, I enjoy it & I don't make fun of anyone else who has their own hobbies/interests. So whatever to you haters of the sims out there. I will be happy sitting at my PC playing away!!!!!!
