Having created myself (using some of the bonus skins received from EB World), and buying the cheapest house on the block, I then proceeded to fiddle around with the game. For those of your awaiting Black and White for its promise of Godlike power, take a

Management in The Sims revolves around decision-making. From physical environmental layouts (homes, rooms, paint, tiles, floors, walls, window placement), to mental outlook (personalities, motives, needs), emotional makeup (jealousy, marriage, having

In twelve years of reviewing computer games, I've come to see this job as - for the most part, at least - something of an exact science. So much of game design has become formulaic and predictable over the years that identifying what works or doesn't

The Sims has been eagerly anticipated by the entire gaming community - it's sold faster than any Maxis game ever before. That's saying a lot, considering that this is the same quirky company behind Sim City, one of the best selling computer games ever.

At a glance, The Sims looks fairly good, if plain. The game itself takes place entirely within a small suburb just outside SimCity, and the streets, houses, and fixtures are all colorful and detailed - and all in a style consistent with the SimCity games.

The Sims polarized audiences, as could be expected of a real-time strategy that asks its users to have the sims spend a lot of time in the bathroom. The time scale of The Sims can be unkind to those that dislike repetitive tasks or the hurried pace of

The lack of any real objectives becomes somewhat tedious after a while, but it is still hard not to recommend The Sims to everyone.

Those of you not familiar with The Sims would best understand the game as a God-like simulation (where you assume the role of God, although the series is in no way religious) and command your Sims (virtual people). You instruct them to wander from place

Games First!
When I was in seventh grade I spent all my allowance and snow shoveling money on Little Computer People (LCP), a game unlike any I’d ever heard of at the time. It ousted Skate or Die from my Commodore 128 floppy drive, and quickly had me hooked. LCP

The Sims series as a whole is dominated not by purely innocent fun, but by sexual themes. From censored nudity (which can be turned off by a third party ‘cheat’) of a sim bathing to the romance expressed by two sim’s in love. Relationships can get

To have a decent chef and stove, you have to hold down that job I mentioned. You have to spend your time ordering your sim to sleep and take a bath, and you have to somehow squeeze study time in between that and the television (you also have to purchase
