The Sims (Mac)

Pros: Home decor
Cons: I can't get them to stop leaving the garbage on the floor!

Not only that, he flooded the bathroom because he didn't know how to fix the leaky sink. So with no money, we had to sell anything we had left to buy food. Our moods were so sour that we wouldn't even sleep in the same bed anymore!

Does this...

Pros: extremely addictive
Cons: extremely addictive

THE GAME: The Sims

THE MAKER:Will Wright

THE PUBLISHER: Electronics Art, Maxi's

YOUR MISSION:To create a family so genetically superior that they are capable of existing...

Pros: Adds on to the best game I've ever played!
Cons: Have to already own The Sims. Wait, is that really a con?

Listen up, fellow Sims Addicts, the new The Sims: Livin' Large Expansion Pack just went on sale much to the relief of the clerks at Babbages. I had pre-ordered the new Expansion Pack from them a few weeks ago. As it was supposed to be in...

Pros: incredible fun
Cons: HIGHLY addictive game (if you consider this a bad thing)

I knew I was a goner when the Sims came out. I had gone through a bout of ignoring my friends and family with Sim City (and then again with Sim City 3000) and by the time I loaded the Sims onto my machine and the welcome screen popped up, I was hooked....

Pros: Fascinating, especially for control freaks; Better to take out your aggressions out on fake people rather than real ones
Cons: Can be addictive, not for small kids

I have been addicted to Epinions ever since I joined. First thing in the morning I was here, and again after work, until my husband had to pry my hands from the keyboard late at night. Some of you may have noticed (at least I hope so) that you...

Pros: You have ultimate power over up to 8 people and their home.
Cons: You may actually forget there is real life.

If you haven't played the Sims or heard of it then you must have just been hiding under a rock for the past year and a half. Sims fever has gripped the whole world and why?

Well I don't actually have the answer... really a game where you get...

Pros: Beautiful graphics, great as a creative time waster
Cons: Sims clog up the bathroom, there aren't enough skins, can't assign bedrooms

Everbody's heard of The Sims, right? It's the life simulator for your PC. Entirely pointless, time wasting, but unbelievably entertaining. It's like playing with Barbies or dolls-only on your PC. Plus, YOU create all the characters. After ...

Pros: Lots of fun; Surprises at every turn
Cons: Hours fly by

Six weeks ago, I had never heard of the Sims. Sure, I saw a number of reviews on it, but skipped them since I did not think I could adequately rate something I knew nothing about. <In other words, I didn't even know it was a game.> Then I stumbled...

Pros: Nice try at a good concept/idea, Fun for a while
Cons: a "while", Time, Not enough Functions,

"Mr. Ihave abigbutt lied there on the floor writhing in pain. He was locked within four walls with no food, water, or friends to save him. After a good amount of days, he passed away. This is the story of the Sim Internment Camp and how thousands inside...

Pros: gameplay, it's really fun
Cons: It gets downright frustrating

The Sims probably surprised me the most. I am used to boring games like Simcity and Simgolf and games like that, but this game is totally different. It’s actually fun to play…for a while. In my review I will tell you the ups and downs of this weird game....

Pros: Has its eye-candy moments
Cons: Forget 'materialistic' and 'amoral': the real problem is sheer boredom

What has more gay and lesbian civil unions than Vermont, more polygamy* than pre-statehood Utah, and more 'what's your sign?' pick-up lines than Marin County? Would you believe, a PC game allegedly for the whole family?

Yes, folks, we're...

Pros: Fun, Entertaining, Great website with downloads and support
Cons: addicting, need a fast computer

I had wanted this game for a long time, but I was a little hesitant about paying $50 for a computer game. So I did a lot of reading up on the game, and finally went out and got it. Instantly I was addicted.
For those of you who don't know...

Pros: Easy to learn. Some humorous moments. Allows you to be creative.
Cons: Repetitious gameplay. Like taking care of a baby, but with few rewards.

I had a mild interest in The Sims for a long time, but the $49.99 price tag I've seen in stores like Best Buy deterred me. However, after a conversation with a friend who seemed to enjoy the game, I looked a little harder and found a shrinkwrapped cd...

Pros: Easy to learn,play and install
Cons: Boring very quickly

Wake me up when the game has finished...
This has got to be one of the most overrated games of all time in my opinion. After venturing into their simulated world for the first time only 3 days ago, im already bored with them.

So what is...

Pros: can develop whoever you want to be a Sim; build the house of your dreams; live the impossible in your own little Sim world
Cons: too much like real life it's almost scary!

Well, yes, folks, I have found yet another game I quickly became addicted to minutes after I installed it onto my handy, dandy Gateway computer: The Sims. The amazing thing about this game is the fact you can put your friends, partners,...
