The Sims 3 is the latest console-based installment in EA’s world-conquering life simulation series, but it’s been conspicuously absent on consoles until now. Indeed, the new ports are lagging behind the PC edition by over a year. Does the addition...

Awkward padbased controls and occasionally skittish performance...
Just as addictive as ever, despite the lukewarm control system...

How the hell do you write about The Sims 3, or at the very least, squeeze it into around 800 words? At base level, it is ostensibly the same game as the two that came before it, and their many, many expansion packs, and it is only when you get into the...

On one level its essentially still The Sims, but on another, so many careful tweaks have been implemented (not to mention a few big changes) that this third incarnation is a joy to explore and unfold. Its a massively charming outing into a seamless...

The Sims is like the abusive uncle of the gaming world, it tells you it loves you but then horribly takes advantage of your trust. As I am myself a fan of the series, I find myself constantly falling for the promises of the next installment, I let my i...

Nine years on from the original game, The Sims gets a second sequel that refines the improvements made over the course of many expansion packs. The essence of the game is still resource and task management in daily life, and if that and the open-ended...

Possibly one of the most anticipated games for the PC, the Sims 3 has been out for just under a month now. But does it match up with what many people were thinking? Having done some research into the game I can tell you how good it really is. Well thin...

If you'd asked me one month ago to describe The Sims phenomenon, here are a few words and phrases I might have used: dull, repetitive, cash-machine, would-be interior designers, perfect game for people who feel Neighbours might be too dramatic. To be hone...
The Sims used to be the game for people who didn't like games. With this threequel, it becomes the game that people who like games like as well. Huge, deep and enthralling, it's a game that most of us won't want to miss...

Over the coming weeks, you may begin to hear strange, pseudo-Scandinavian chanting outside your place of residence. You might even feel an urge to join in. Don’t be alarmed — it’s merely the sound of thousands of celebratory gamers singing Simlish in the streets. That’s right boys ‘n’ girls — after a five-year hiatus (and a last-minute delay), the world’s best-selling computer game franchise is finally moving back into the neighbourhood. It’s been a long and arduous wait for Sims fans, who’ve h...

Not much new to sink your teeth into...
The Sims 3 is a gentle evolution of the series that retains everything fans hold dear. While the improvements on offer aren’t major, they’re enough to make the upgrade worthwhile. Bring on the expansion packs!...

Its shiny, sexy, and perplexingly emerald-green, but more than anything, The Sims 3 - Electronic Arts groomed and gussied-up digital dollhouse - is an intrepid and wonderful game. Wonderful, because The Sims 3 is finally the game the original aspi...

The Sims 3 is a serious advancement of the series, however underneath its still the same Sims, and if you couldnt stand it in the past chances are you still wont be able to. Some of the micro-management tasks have been made a bit easier, and the add...
Detailed character creation with character traits. Graphical overhaul in true Sims style. Explore the entire town, on foot, in your car or on your bike. Addictive.
Wont appeal to people who previously havent enjoyed the series. Still gets a bit confusing when your household gets too large.
