The Sims

The Sims... Playing house when there is no one else to play house with.  I can see why some people like this software.  I have a hard time calling it a game.  A game has a set of rules and goals and such.  You know... a point.  Here you virtually create a home and family to live in it... you can toy with their lives like the gods of "Clash of the Titans".  Try this... get a family of 3 and let them move in.  Then when on steps to an area that is away from the others... build a wall around him.  No door... but maybe a window.  Make this little are tiny. Yeah, I'm a sick bastard but these Sims live too perfect lives.  Give your little family a dark secret!  Every family needs a skeleton in the closet!

After playing it for awhile I quickly realized that life in the Sims is just as mundane as in real life.  What is the fun of that?  If I wanted that, I'd go home and look at the bills.  Life sucks and putting that on your PC sucks too.  When I play a game - it's to "Cave" and escape my life.  Excuse me - I'm going to play some Undying now.  

On a scale from 1 to 10 - I give the Sims a 2.
