Well crude…received contact from EA with a package full of screenshots and trailers, but will have to wait until I get home to publish them (unless someone else beats me to it first – which is always possible!)

However, I would like to share with you the press release for their online mini game called The Case.

Solve Mysteries, Search for Hidden Clues, Interrogate Suspects, Follow Footprints and more!

What is The Case?

The MySims Agents online “Case” is an interactive game that starts with a mysterious surveillance video and ends with details of a powerful, sinister plot. The story gives you a glimpse into what it takes to become an agent, introduces you to some key characters like Morcubus, Brandi, Mayor Skip Rogers, Dr. F and Agent Walker, and to the overall plot of the Nightmare Crown.  By solving cases, you will receive some “exclusive” background information on the main mystery in the MySims Agents video game out this fall, as well as access to special downloads and cheat codes.  Throughout the interactive experience, you will venture to popular destinations like YouTube, MySpace and Twitter where you’ll search for clues and gather intel.

Who is in The Case?

Meet the MySims Agents characters! Throughout the experience, you will be introduced to some key characters, learn their back-story, and prove that you have what it takes to be an agent and take on the main mystery in MySims Agents this fall.

Agent Walker: A no-nonsense, veteran agent with the Sims Protection Agency.  He’s looking for some new recruits!  Think you’re up to the task?

Mayor Skip Rogers: Elected mayor of the city in a landslide victory.  It’s amazing how far a golden smile and well-trimmed facial hair will get you.

Dr. F: Bored with “normal” science, he decided to get a Ph.D. in Mad Science instead.  There is not a problem that can’t be solved by a new toaster, a new robot, or a new robotic toaster…with lasers and giant claws!

Zombie Carl: He may be a rotting corpse, but you’ll never find a more loyal friend in the entire world. Carl has been the Boudreaux family’s butler for decades, and he’s never missed a day of work. Not even posthumously!

When does The Case begin?

Begin solving the “Case” on Thursday, July 16 at www.mysimsagents.com.

Where does The Case take players?

It all begins at www.mysimsagents.com where you can explore different areas of the MySims world from within the website and beyond to other sites like www.Morcucorp.com or popular destinations like MySpace and Twitter.
