GC: The original The Sims 3 may have been released almost six years ago, but the game is still going strong, if the advent of this seventh add-on—and the promise of an eighth seasons-related expansion on the horizon—is any indication. Based on the analogous Makin’ Magic expansion for the original The Sims, I initially expected some new content along the lines of witches and spells, but The Sims 3: Supernatural really throws in the kitchen sink. Supernatural adds a slew of creatures to the roster of playable Sim types, including the expected witches, and also fairies, genies, ghosts, zombies, werewolves, and enhanced vampires (sparkling optional). Each of these new Sim types have their own quirks, special interactions with objects and other Sims, and advantages.
Carl Williams writes, "Games on sale are a great way to grab good games at a great sale price and possibly try some new ones that might have otherwise passed by. Titanfall is on sale this week (20% off) and as usual, there are more than a few Battlefield, Sims, etc titles on sale this weekend so get to reading and grab the ones that interest you. These sales won’t last."
I would have bought Sims if it was the console version. My girlfriend has been asking for me to get her one.
I forgot I had Sims 3 for my PS3, but after I moved I started going through boxes and there it was. I started a new game and have had lots of fun with it. My sim is now a movie soundtrack composer and his wife is a mad scientist. It's just too bad all that extra PC content isn't in there.
Now I just have to decide whether to use that extra room in our house for a kid… or to trap other sims in there and let them starve to death.
As part of GamR Mag's 2013 Zombie Week event Christian Orkibi presents his list of the Top 10 Zombie Games suitable for younger audiences.
"It’s not often that you hear someone ask whether a game involving zombies is suitable for children. Its not really a combination you’d think to place together, kids and zombies, but occasionally a game comes along that brings humour to the walking dead and provides a good introduction to a fearful foe at an early age."
