  • A Sims 3 hands-on preview ("We have to move past peeing," says EA)

    Monday I was able to go down to the Redwood EA offices to get my first hands-on demo of the new Sims 3 game. There was so much to see and so much to do in the game that it made my head spin - but in a good way. The jump from the first Sims game to Sims 2 was not as big or as jaw-dropping as the jump from Sims 2 to Sims 3. What I saw at EA made me even more excited for its June release date.

Even more addicting than The Sims 2! I love the facts that they have cell phones and that it doesn't have to load every time you go somewhere. Installs fast and onl has 1 disk unlike The Sims 2 which had 4 disks and took forever to install.
