The Sims 3 Review - ZTGD

ZeroTolerance Writes: It's hard to believe that The Sims has been around for over a decade. The PC life simulation series has seen countless spin-offs and expansion packs, and of course the prototypical console ports. However, up until now these console knock-offs have been nothing short of disappointing. Transitioning the mouse click style gameplay to a controller is no easy task. In the past the developers tried taking a different approach to the gameplay instead of simply trying to tweak and fix what was already there. The Sims 3 is a nice hybrid of both ideas that keeps the series' core concepts intact while giving it an identity of its own at the same time.

I got this the other day on 360 after not playing the Sims since the original on PC. It's a bit choppy frame rate wise, but I should probably instal to the hard drive to improve that. As the disk spins a lot. If you are after a proper sims game on consoles this is it. Once you get the controls down it's enjoyable. I would give it 8.5 so far after a few hours. That could easily go up to a 9 in a few days. If EA read any of these comments...

put the PC expansions on the consoles I want mummies and vampires.

my guess is they may add the expansions as DLC instead of boxed versions.

I dont normally play these kinds of games but I decided to try Sims 3 on PC after watching a trailer that showed sims is not just about relationships and having kids or throwing parties, Its plays like a very advanced Tamagotchi and can be a lot of fun.

What's the oldest game you currently have installed on your PC?

Maybe you've got a favorite game from the olden days you never get rid of. Maybe you're a scrupulous uninstaller and you don't have anything from before 2013 on your pristine PC. Maybe you've got something from the 1990s taking up several whole megabytes you completely forgot about.

Age of Empires. And I still play it.

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.

I did have Loom but I didn't like it.

I've been replaying a bunch of old adventure games, lately. I had been playing a bunch of text adventures, but those are uninstalled now. At the moment, the oldest thing I have installed is Sierra's Police Quest Collection. When I'm done with that, I'll be moving on to Space Quest, Quest for Glory, and finishing with the best: King's Quest.

Space quest, that brings back memories.
