    First Look :: The Sims 3 - PC

    Love it or hate it, The Sims franchise is here to stay. In fact, Electronic Arts has been working for three years on the brand new game engine for their latest installment and claim that The Sims 3 will be the best yet!

    Re: First Look :: The Sims 3 - PC

    I haven't played Sims in yyyyyyyyyyears, in fact, I don't think I ever got round to even trying Sims 2.

    I'd be interested in giving Sims 3 a go, but only if I could do so without needing a super high-end system.

    Me neither, last time I played I was a live at home husband and when my wife went out to work I'd invite the next-door neighbour around for pizzas and a bit of a cuddle. Great stuff, she was fitter than my wife.

    ... and after the cuddle you kicked her out to play The Sims.

    The only good thing about sims 2 was getting a house of about 12 people and then selling their doors, windows, toilets, showers etc till they all died.

    Move another sim back into the house and make sure that the graves that appear cannot be visited.

    Spooky things will then start to happen and your sims will soil themselves more than once

    Sounds great - think though if you're going to try that again you'll need someone to cuddle with, with graphics like these!

    With EA's recent track record I'll be waiting to see how many patches it needs to work before I let the wife loose on it.
