GamingLives finally gets its hands on The Sims 3 University Life and tries to work out whether it has been worth the long wait since the original, released back during Sims 2. Not quite, would be the short answer.
"Spool forward to The Sims 3, and this generation has been dragging somewhat, hampered by numerous gameplay issues, glitches, dissatisfaction at EA’s near-extortionate Sims Store, and a roster of lacklustre, cheap-feeling expansions. While Maxis were slowly churning out new pieces of the Sims universe, University seemed like a glaring omission until, finally, it arrived to be the tradition-breaking ninth expansion. This time, however, if doesn’t feel half as exciting or enjoyable and I was left feeling somewhat underwhelmed."
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.
Triverse writes, "Electronic Arts is having a weekend sale on Sims titles, including opening pre-orders for Sims 4. There are some great deals listed below, some titles/expansions are up to 50% off. Next week we are expecting the sale to focus on racing games but till then, why not grab some Sims 3 titles that you may be missing from your collection?"
Best Buy's weekly deals include Skylanders Giants starter packs, Sims games, and buy 2 get 1 free pre-owned games.
I clicked on it, looking to find a good deal on Sim City. But like you said, it's the Sims, not Sim City. It irks me that I gave the site a hit.
The site fixed it but the person who posted this did not.
Oh, the Origin site has Sim City for $20 off I think
Sorry about that I noticed it and fixed it on the site but forgot to fix it here.
