Ameenah Salamunic: Shrieking sirens rip through the airways, jolting you from cool inertia into wide-eyed bewilderment. What the hell was that? Curls of smoke lick the horizon as the cacophony intensifies and it becomes woefully clear that the blaze is not only real, it’s nearby. In fact, you’ve barely cleared the perimeter of your houseboat, which you now realize is most definitely totally and completely on fire. Your eyes focus in on the silhouette flailing through the smog covering the top deck and all suspicions are confirmed. Two realizations dawn on you: that new roommate is moments away from leaving you homeless and short 70,000 simoleons, and scuba diving today at Rocky Reef is kind of out of the question. Thankfully, logic in The Sims Universe skews for the strange in both directions: while burning a plate of waffles can be life changing, even the worst inferno can be calmed by a single fire extinguisher.
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?"
Worth Playing - From owning and managing a resort, to living a life on a houseboat and even deep sea diving, The Sims 3 Island Paradise opens up a world of possibilities never seen in the franchise.
