Sometimes, two unique flavors belong together, like peanut butter and bananas, or bacon and anything. Other flavors, like pickles and chocolate, are best left separated. And so we have The Sims Carnival: SnapCity, a little title that combines Tetris and SimCity into a weird casserole of boring, half-baked gameplay mechanics that will disappoint fans of either of those classics. Like a horseradish milkshake or herring cream pie, it's a curiosity you should leave others to experience.
The Sims 3: World Adventures is the first expansion pack for The Sims 3. The game was announced on The Sims 3 website in August, 2009, with a North American release scheduled to November 17, 2009, to coincide with the release of Need for Speed: Nitro. The expansion pack focuses on traveling to 3 different areas as The Sims: Vacation and The Sims 2: Bon Voyage did previously, but in a new twist focuses on adventures over simple family vacations. At these new sim-inspired destinations found in China, Egypt, and France; Sims can meet Sims of different nationalities, hunt for treasure, and learn new skills.
Without question, The Sims is probably one of the most popular "non-gamer" and "non-casual" games in the world which once again returns to the world of the PC which first birthed this very popular concept, thanks to developers MAXIS.

Nearly a decade has passed since The Sims arrived -- control freaks and escapists know it as the game where you play god to virtual people as they go about their everyday lives. In that time, this simulation game broke records as the best-selling game in PC history and was followed by a sequel, The Sims 2, and dozens of add-ons that introduce new activities, furniture and other items to the basic game experience."
