Five Things That Are Better Than Sims 3 On Consoles

So The Sims 3 was confirmed for consoles today. Here are things that I deem better than this news.

1) Rectal cancer.

2) My inevitable mortality.

3) Red Steel. (Seriously).

4) The sounds of tiny children crying.

5) Sonic the Hedgehog.

Seriously though. They’re claiming it’s going to be identical to the PC version. How? There’s no mouse on an Xbox. Or on a Playstation. Oh, and before you say Wii slap yourself round the face will you? Come on. Seriously. It’ll be like Diet Sims.

Now, I may sound like I’m jumping to conclusions here but considering how God awful past console incarnations of the Sims were… do you blame me? Thought not.

Still, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt for now!

I’m kidding of course. I’m extremely prejudiced.

Three Thoughts: New PC

Few thoughts for toady's blog.

Firstly, I'm loving evil characters on the Sims 3. It's almost like a completely different experience. I must admit, this game does live up to a certain degree of the unlimited creativity promised in the press release. The only thing that still bothers me is the lack of decent hairstyles and there only being one neighbourhood.

Secondly, what's happened to Tf2? Everyone wearing halos and all sort of other hats. It's great! Thing is, I can't help but feel a little sympathetic towards those who believe that Valve have ruined the original charm. It does seem a bit busy, if that makes sense. Still, great game, but very different to the instant classic I fell in love with almost two years ago now.

Finally, I love Vista, to the point where I wonder why I've never had it until now. It's probably because I'm using pretty much the final build, what with Windows 7 just around the corner, but I don't have any problems with it whatsoever! Games run just fine, I love the interface and it's much faster than XP. Saying that though, could just be my PC.

Got... Erm.. The...

So I got the... The... Sims.....

Hmm? Sorry I was just.... seeing if I could...... Erm..... sorry what was the question?

The Sims 3

So the Sims 3 came out on Friday, and to put it simply it looks damn good. If there's one thing for certain about a game that carries "The Sims" in it's title, it's that it's gonna be damn good. Apart from Sim City Societies. And Sim Animals. Ok scrap that part.

It's pretty certain that I'll end up getting this one way or another. My sisters a pretty big fan of the previous games and Spore so it's more than likely we'll both end up paying for it together or weening the cash out of parents. Either way, I feel as though I have to buy this more out of dedication that for enjoyments sake. I mean, I've bought the Sims since the beginning! It's like going to see the next Star Wars installment, or watching the new series of Big Brother. 

In other news, I finally found my charging wire for my PS3 controller meaning I can can actually play it again!

Right Now

 

As I sit here, I am installing The Sims 2 Open For Business.

 

Help me. I’ve become addicted. Again.

My Tiny Little Family

I played The Sims 2 again today. I got it around 4 years ago. It was brilliant fun. I felt like the puppet master, controlling their lives… Oh how I laughed when he was promoted! How I sneered, as he fell in love and all because of me! I felt like Iago, deceiving and plotting.. Like God, controlling without anyone realizing and like Will Wright, because at the end of the day it’s a game and I’m just a nerd with long hair… *sighs*

 

Still, good game!
