The Sims (Mac)

Pros: it's just fun controlling those people
Cons: have to watch it at all times

When I first heard about Sims, I got really excited. The thing I loved most about the other Sims games like SimTower and SimTown was controlling the people, the little bit that you could control. But, in Sims, that all you do. Yay! I thought.
...

Pros: Fans of the other sim games will love it!
Cons: Borders on addictive

Being a fan of all the classic simulation games from Maxis I was super psyched to preorder this bad boy. The version I got also came with a bonus disk to give me a wider selection of characters to make.
The funny thing is, the only way to...

Pros: Addictive, Free-Form
Cons: Addictive, Free-Form

Sims is addictive. No one knows why, since the premise sounds so outrageously boring. Why would you play a game that makes you take the character to the bathroom, make sure they get enough to eat, and get kisses and hugs from other characters?
...

Pros: Addiction.... addiction ... addiction
Cons: tends to get boring after too many treats

A couple of years ago my fiancee gave me SimCity 2000 and SimCopter. I was addicted ... at least for a week or so!! I loved the power I had to build big houses, streets, marinas. I gave all the Sims water and electricity. BUT ... the whole time I wished...

Pros: fun, interesting premise
Cons: sometimes mundane, time-intensive

After hearing rave reviews by others who tried the SIMS, the latest game from Maxis who has developed the SIMcities, I had to try the game. Since trying the game, I have been nicely surprised. The game is even better than what I had heard.

...

Pros: Endless possibilities
Cons: Time consuming

I don't normally like simulation games, but this one caught my interest when I saw a friend playing. You have so many options when you first begin and that is only the beginning. You get to order little people around like you know what is best for...

Pros: you can do anything!!
Cons: hard to move furniture and make money

Well, yup, i bought into the Sims craze.. if you can call it that? I saw it on outpost.com for sale with free over night shipping and i couldnt stop myself from buying it. I had seen many commercials for it and downloaded the preview video thing. It...

I bought The Sims, not quite knowing what to expect. Actually, I requested it as a present. The first time I ever played it, I knew I was hooked. I'm addicted, no doubt about it.

To be able to decide the lives of people in your own little...

Pros: everything

This is my favorite game in the whole wide world. I play it every day because it is so much fun. What you do: First you have to create a family. Then you buy a peice of land and build a house. Members of the family can get jobs and they can get promoted....

Pros: Every person's dream lived out on a PC game. You control the lives of your people.
Cons: Before playing this game it is a must to read the handbook. Not very easy to understand how to play unless you do so.

Pros: Addictive, Fun, Humorous
Cons: Too Addictive? Unrealistic measure of time.

Like just about any other Sim game (Sim City, etc.) The Sims is quite addictive. You'll want to play it though because it's really something else. In case you've never seen or heard of this game, I'll explain the game-play a little. You control the...

Pros: Great diversion to every day life! Fun; great graphics
Cons: at this point, Sims don't have babies. I'd love to see them have newborn babies!

I'm addicted to this game. I bought my game about a week ago, and I'm totally absorbed in my Sims lives already! They become real, in a sense! Beware though, this game can consume your life! I've spent hours playing it, and having fun with it!

...

Pros: Very addicting game, is unique and interesting
Cons: When getting wrapped up in your Sims' lives, you might lose yours...

I loved this game. The unfortunate thing is, my computer doesn't have enough memory to install it right now. The horrible thing is, I bought it. For the price I got it for, buying it and keeping it in the box is such a waste of money. I played it on my...
