The Sims

I heard about The Sims from other addicts. I couldn’t figure out what the big deal was. UNTIL ... my husband (who is an AVID gamer)gave it to me for Christmas and said that it looked “right up my alley”. Now, to...

Pros: Addictive, wish fulfillment, humor, expandable by manufacturer and fans alike, expansions add much play value
Cons: Addictive, gets tedious after a while, some bugs, runs slow on older machines

I have a strange kind of love-hate relationship with The Sims. I find it a fascinating game, such that I can sit down at the computer and twiddle a little, and when I look up, hours have gone by. Sometimes I've lost days at a time that way....

Pros: No laundry, no jobs (with cheats), no worries
Cons: Really not fun or challenging, but I can't stop playing -- help me!

I am convinced that Maxis -- the developer of The Sims, Livin' Large, House Party, etc. -- has found a way to shoot subliminal messages from my computer screen to my brain. Either that, or there are some sort of high-frequency waves coming off the...

What is The Sims

The easiest way to explain it is that...

Pros: Innovative idea, exciting to play, good music, good graphics, what more can you ask?
Cons: Can be frustrating at times... but all good games are.

Maxis, developers famous for being able to create management games for just about anything you can think of, came upon the gem of an idea of managing a household. Honestly, my first impressions were less than pretty. I figured who’s gonna want to play...

Pros: And this can be summed up in 15 words how?
Cons: Babies do NOT appear in flowers, and then live a child life of doing nothing

(Proud simmer, three years and still strong!) In that little $49.95 package (don't worry, it's worth it!) contains dozens, hundreds, and if you're truly dedicated, thousands of little pixelated people that need your help in their little virtual 3-D ...

Pros: Fun game that keeps you entertained for hours.

Let’s talk about the crazy idea behind this malevolent force. Why don’t we create a game where people play other people? We’ll give these people personal and social needs, and we’ll make players completely responsible for fulfilling these desires. In...

Cons: Addictive, machine specifications required

The Sims is, in short, a cultural phenomenon. If you haven't heard of it, you've probably been living in a bomb shelter for the last five years, afraid of 'The Big One' hitting your house. If you haven't played The Sims, not only are you out of touch ...

Pros: Game that allows you to build your own community.
Cons: Addictive, otherwise none.

The Sims is a great interactive computer game. Take note that I bought my computer to write news articles and surf the internet, and swore I would never use it to play games. While surfing the internet one day I came across an advertisement for The Sims...

Cons: You can easily loose track of time and spend all night playing

When I first received this game as a gift from my brother, I didn't think I would like it but I installed it and gave it a try anyway. Now I am sorry that I did, not because the game is no good but because it is really good and very addictive. I have...
