The Sims 3

Greetings to all players of the Sims 2. In case you haven't already heard, 2009 will bring about the coming of the third Sims game. Is this good or bad. Let's look at the good news first.

The Sims games are popular amongst people of both sexes and all ages. This new chapter in Sims history shall bring about a revolution that many of us have been waiting for. In the Sims 2 our sims were confined to their houses unless the player was willing to load into another lot. Can anybody say that that doesn't get annoying after a while? In the Sims 3, the player will be able to guide their sims through the neighborhood just by walking out the door. Yes people, the game is about to get more realistic. The details are still a bit unmapped, but it is also certain that the creating of user created sims is also about to get an upgrade.

Now for the bad news. There is also a negative about there being a new game. Now we have to not only buy the new game and possibly be forced to upgrade to Vista, but we will have to buy a whole new set of expansion packs. And this will probably happen every three to four years or so.

Overall I believe that the pros overcome the cons in this case. So I will probably end up going to get this one, and if it sucks then it's back to The Sims 2.
