"EA skillfully fleshes out the formula for The Sims with its latest iteration, bringing it closer to an actual game than the PC series has been, without diminishing what makes it so broadly appealing in the first place."

The biggest problem with this and all sims games is that you never have enough time to do anything.

Lets just get down to it. The game is a resource hog. Taking forever to load (and my PC is far from slow, its new). With the usual expansion packs filling up your hard drive which add only minor impro… Read more

Simmish

I picked this game up when it first came out back in June 2009 and have played it off and on. I just love the amount of content you get with the game (not including the 10 billion dlc packs). It's alw… Read more

We finally get what we always wanted...

It all began in 2000 for the Sims series,and since then,it's grown to be the best selling PC video-game franchise of all time with sales of over 100 million units.It's a lot for a PC game,given the pi… Read more

Improved Experience

I have thought the The Sims franchise was just like life...except a bit more boring and you seem to poop and pee a lot more often and at really inopportune times. Therefore, I didn't much like the ser… Read more

I was expecting something more...polished.

I don't have a long history with the Sims. I've only played The Sims 2: Castaway (also on the Wii)...so my review isn't tinged by fond memories. The game itself runs VERY poorly on the Wii. I can hear… Read more

The Sims 3 Review

When a sequal is announced for the followup to the two best selling PC games of all time, expectations are beyond high. Fans of previous games will notice that The Sims 3 doesn't break into a lot of n… Read more

The Sims 3 or The Sims 2.5?

The Sims 3 is the newest game in the ever so popular "Sims" series, beloved by Tweenage girls world wide. But is it really worthy of being called a full sequel? Much like with previous "The Sims" game… Read more

It is time to get back to your virtual doll house

After I have played the first 100 days in one of the originals Sims’s expansion packs, some new information started appear. It was those “did you know that” windows in the top-right corner of the scre… Read more

The Sims 3 takes a Big Step from The Sims 2

Ever since the first Sims game was released, people wanted a far more advanced version of the game. They got that in The Sims 2 and now, The Sims 3. The Sims 3 captializes on what could have been in T… Read more

It continues to be Sims (i.e. good)

This is pretty much exactly what you would expect for a Sims 3 game. It is incrementally better than the Sims 2, and does some interesting things with how character's motivations effect your play. Now… Read more

Games like this don't get any better.

The Sims 3 is the latest game in the best selling PC game series of all time. Since the launch of the original Sims game from Will Wright in 2000, the series has gone on to sell well over 100 million… Read more

Easily worth your $50

Great game, stays true to the originals but adds new features like the tow. I did have problems downloading stuff from the store, so be aware of that. There is also a lack of stuff in the game for you… Read more

The Sims has regained its appeal

I loved the first Sims game, I played it solid for about 3 week and loved every moment of it. However, I eventually came to the realization that all I was playing with was a glorified virtual pet. If… Read more

The game lacks any soul or humour. Oh, and content.

I have loved the sims for a long time. I played the first game when it came out on my very first PC, now Im a 20 year old male gamer, a core gamer, who has always enjoyed sims games. To me they are no… Read more

Best SIMS EVER!

Okay, so there are obviously a bunch of people out there who decide before a game is released that no matter who praises said game, they will not even get close to playing it. A bunch of my gamer frie… Read more

The Sims 3 is the best in the series, bar none.

Once upon a time, a man named Will Wright came up with an idea for a video game which would let us control the virtual lives of pixelated people known as The Sims. We could mold and shape them to be m… Read more

The Land of the Green Diamonds Prevails

It was always going to be troublesome making a sequel to a game with eight expansion packs. The Sims 2 now lies as a bloated beast, full of features incrementally added throughout the years in small £… Read more

Sims 3 is the best yet...but...

it is missing alot of items like a hot tub, diving board and others, although this is probly the best sims game yet, with just those couple of complaints. I love the whole open roming town, but i wish… Read more

There's never been a better time to be a fan of this series.

It seems ironic that, in a medium of entertainment often perceived as synonymous with the phrase "waste-of-time," one of the most popular and revered franchises is that which is entirely focused on si… Read more

Lacking content holds back this otherwise decent sequel.

I think it's safe to say nine out of ten people who go on this site have played 'The Sims' sometime in their life whether it be the original, Sims 2 or one of a million expansion packs and console ver… Read more

Sims 3 on mac, first impressions review

I'm going to make this easy, just point out some good and bad things. At the end of this list I will let off some steam about some technical issues. These are picked out of the game straight out of th… Read more

The Sims 3 is...oh.

This is my review of EA's the Sims 2.5 - ugh, I mean Sims 3. This is the third installment of the best selling Sims franchise, and the only one to not have creator Will Wright on the team. At its hear… Read more
