The Sims 3
Dec 31, 2010 Video Games
For months now I’ve been wanting to play The Sims 3 in ps3. I haven’t had the chance to pick it up because I keep finding other games that I also really want to play. I really like the concept in Sims. Maybe because I like designing. I like how you can customize everything from deciding which kitchen faucets you want in your kitchen to designing rooms and planning a persons life. I know most people don’t get the point of the game but for me it is a really cool game. If you like designing and building things, I’m sure you’ll like this game too.
The game’s overall technical performance adds another thin layer of discomfort. There are short pauses when opening certain menus (these are more prevalent and noticeable on the PS3) and frame rate hitches as you move the camera across the terrain. These seem like small flaws, but they add up in time, making The Sims 3 seem unrefined. At least the controls aren’t unwieldy. It takes some time to get used to them, but considering the mouse-centric PC controls, using a gamepad works about as well as you could expect. It’s simple to snap the camera to the active sim, plant flowers, buy appliances, and adjust the terrain. The biggest flaw here is that performing many basic actions pauses time so that you can make an appropriate selection, whereas your sims go about their business unhindered on the PC. Switching between sims, selecting a social interaction, choosing a television channel, and many other basic tasks cause the game to pause while it waits for your feedback. These pauses, like the loading times and technical faults, keep The Sims 3 from feeling as effortless as it should. from review snippet from Gamespot.com

Oh my! Sims 3 was leaked!
May 28, 2009 PC Games
I was confused for several days coz some peole said it’s out but when we checked it in the store we found out that it won’t be out until the 2nd of June. Since we heard about the rumor that the game was leaked three weeks before the official release date, out of curiosity, we checked it out in torrent site particularly in thepiratebay.com. We downloaded the files overnight and it works perfect hehehe. Don’t get me wrong… I love the game so much. I’ve been playing the game for ten years now so I’m still gonna buy the original copy on the release date. Below is an excerpt from another source who said that leaked wasn’t true?
The Sims 3 files posted on The Pirate’s Bay are just under 5GB total and come from a user listed as “lordofwhee.” As of this posting, nearly 750 people had downloaded the files.
“‘Cause I love all of you so very much, I present The Sims 3,” the top of the page states. Read more.
Here is a little review about the game: The new interface is so pretty and you can put all your stuff in every corner of your sim house in different angles. Its fully 3d so your machine should have a 3d accelerator card with high speed processor. There’s a lot of beautiful items and very organized so you won’t get lost finding the stuff in buy mode. There are so much more to expect. I’m kind of excited to explore the game more.
