It’s not a topic that really comes up often when discussing video games; however, it is one that got me thinking. I admit, the concept of creating a virtual life for yourself probably doesn’t seem very appealing when compared to action-type genres like First-Person Shooters or Role-Playing Games, but it is one that can be quite addictive."
A voice actor for The Sims spoke about his experiences doing voice work for the game's fictional Simlish language, and how there was no dictionary for them
The Sims franchise has been a part of my life ever since the first game came out. It was one of two games I camped outside of a store for, the other one being Black & White.
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.
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.
Considering the amount of heat Sims articles get and the lack of comments that go with it I'm guessing this is pretty accurate.
I love the Sims
I just hate how console owners get crappy dumb down Sim games. I mean we havent even had any decent DLC for it (£7.99 for funiture...WTF) and lets not forget we havent even gotten Sims Medievil yet. With current hardware on consoles, Sims games shouldn't be dumbed down, it's not like they are games designed to push PC hardware with the best specs. They still have loading times to get to one place to the next, the only improvment in the Sims 3 was you had 3-4 hours around your house, you still couldn't walk into town.
Somebody tell me if it's true that sims can now leave a swimming pool even without a pool ladder
Yeah I mean they're good games, if a little, no, very frustrating.
I've always loved the Sims, I still remember those all-nighters caused by the first game. Ahh memories. :)
