IGN editor Greg Miller was sent a press copy of The Sims 3 for the Playstation 3 in order to write a review. However, when he brought it home, to much of his surprise, his girlfriend got a hold of the game, and well – became hooked! How many of you wind up in similar scenarios? I predict a great deal of this will happen once the game is released later this month!
Hit up IGN to read the full review on the game. Included with the review you can view 3 new gameplay videos as well as a number of new screens:
This is the difference between Kristine and me – when it comes to The Sims, that is. When she plays, it’s a social experience; she wants to talk about where Eve can go to meet new love interests (you can pick places all over the map and head out for a visit) and discuss which stove she should invest in (the catalog of available goods is huge). When I play the Sims household I’ve started in the office, it’s a game between my Sims and me. I’ve created Daemon Hatfield and Bizarro Daemon Hatfield. I put on headphones and make choices for my them that are taking us to the Lifetime Wish; I don’t need frills. Daemon pursues his music career, and Bizarro Daemon focuses on being an evildoer. Daemon’s worked his way up and is already a roadie. Bizarro Daemon starts fistfights with women in town. We’re doing good.
When I go home and watch Kristine play, she’s not doing this stuff. I’m focusing on clawing my way up the Sims employment ladder and making Daemon a rock star. When Kristine plays, she’s got a bunch of other people working whatever job they want and one person she focuses on making happy. My house is a barren place where the guys just zonk out or try to bed ladies, and her house is meticulously color-coordinated and styled. You should’ve seen her face when the kitchen she had just remodeled caught fire when one of her Sims ignored the stove.
i like her! reminds me of me!
