The Sims - PC

Pros Cons
Loads of content  
Addictive gameplay  
Innovative concepts  
Just plain fun  
Get Your Sim On

The original is still the best! If you have never played The Sims you create characters, get them jobs, and watch the chaos ensue. Pit your characters against each other or make them fall in love...basically play God. Direct your sims in the most minuscule tasks and even watch them pee. Why is this game so good you ask? And my answer: who doesn't like to play God?

Cooking Mama - DS

Pros Cons
Loads of content Poor storytelling
Tight controls Repetitive gameplay
I hate cooking except in video games

I'm not sure who originally came up with the idea of a cooking video game but there have been a steady stream of them since this and I can see why. Now let me just say that I don't like cooking. I actually hate it, but in a video game, when you don't have to clean up or deal with burnt food it is actually entertaining. The great DS controls really make this game work, from chopping vegetables, measuring ingredients, and cooking.
The main problem with this game, that newer games have overcome, is that you don't really have a goal. You don't feel like you are working towards something. And there is no strategy. That is not to say that Cooking Mama isn't fun though. So if you like the innovative controls of the DS and have sometime on your hands check out Cooking Mama and discover your inner chef.

Super Paper Mario - Wii

The Best Mario Title Since Mario World

Put your brain to work in the paper version of Mario. With a great visual slick graphics, and tons of content this Mario title blew me away. I loved that you had to switch between characters, pixels, and 2-D to 3-D to solve puzzles adding a new dimension to what I thought a Mario game could be.
Though the pixels could get annoying after awhile and some puzzles were more repetitious than challenging, Super Paper Mario is still a fantastic title that all Wii owners owe it to themselves to check out.

The Sims 2 - PC

Addictive gameplay Doesn't live up to expectations
Tight controls

The Sims is great but Load times are Not

I loved the original Sims and played it to death. I was really impressed with everything they tried to do with the sequel. There were new locations, new things to do, more character customization, and most importantly for me, more stuff! That said, The Sims 2 was bogged down by ridiculous load times. It would take me hours just to make a new family, not to mention entering new neighborhoods and going to other locations was more than irritating. So, all in all, the Sims 2 was a great game and if you liked the original you will like this...just be patient.
