SIMS

I'm a little behind on the gaming situation. I am not a die hard gamer but there are a few times when I do get into playing games on PS, Xbox, and now on the computer.

My best girlfriend introduced me to this game. I have heard of it before and have always wondered what it was all about. But never got around to buying it. I have bought and played Silent Hill, Resident Evil, even Lord of the Rings and have gotten hooked on it while playing it.

But this game........I wouldn't say it is the best of all games (because it's not) but it does get addicting. The Sims. Of course I don't have the new Sims2 but I have The Sims Deluxe Edition and I have found myself kinda hooked on it. The best part I like is creating the house. Building, decorating, buying etc. Creating the life that these Sims will live. The first few days I was excited and couldn't wait to play the whole game but now I find myself fast forwarding through a lot of the actual game playing part.

But these Sims can be funny. You create characters with moods of how active, playful, nice, neat, and outgoing. The find houses for them to move into or you build them a house. You have to find them jobs and they have to cleanup after themselves, sometimes they even throw a fit when they want to do something else other then what you tell them to do.

If they are in a bad mood or depressed mood and your tell them to do something they will say No, refuse to do it.

If they wake up and haven't gotten enough sleep they stamp their feet and have a tantrum before moving on with their day.

I think if or when I get some of the expansion packs it will make it more interesting and not as boring as it is starting to become. Depending on what ones I buy I will be able to go on the town for a HOT DATE, or on a awesome VACATION maybe even purchase a few pets.

It is so much like controlling someones life. And for those who like to do that this is the game for you!
