The Sims Deluxe Edition: Think of It as a Crack Pipe

Date of Review:  Jan 6, 2004
The Bottom Line: Don't say I didn't warn you, but this game is so fun it's like virtual crack.
Review: I have absolutely no idea why I wanted The Sims Deluxe Edition for Christmas; I've never been really big into computer games (except for Myst, but well, that's another story), but was excited about having this game to relax at night after the kids...

EA games is burning a hole in my credit card!

Date of Review:  Jun 22, 2003
The Bottom Line: Great game, but be prepared to lose a lot of hours in fantasy land.
Review: I bought the Sims Deluxe because I have Sim City 4 and was addicted. I thought maybe I'd like to create a Sim or two of my own and import them into Sim City 4. Well... I ended up getting addicted to the Sims, and now in the course of just three...

Simply Addicting

Date of Review:  Jul 22, 2003
The Bottom Line: This review pretty much contains most things you would want to know about the game.
Review: 01/21/04 Update:

After writing this review I had to stop playing my beloved Sims because my computer was just too old to handle the load.

I was running The Sims on a Compaq AMD K6 475 64mb computer that is now just over 4 years...

Everyday people...

Date of Review:  Jun 5, 2004
The Bottom Line: Although this game eats up a lot of memory, it is admittedly fun to play and the different ways of playing are limited only by the player's imagination.
Review: I saw a commercial a few years back for The Sims and I was intrigued. Play god, the ad told me. Control the lives of innocent people. Meddle in their affairs. That's not necessarily the words used in the ad, mind you, that's just what my own mind...

Live another life...on your PC

Date of Review:  Dec 8, 2002
The Bottom Line: All in all the game is fun, but gets boring quickly. Adding expansion packs may help that, but I dont know
Review: As everybody knows by now The Sims series of games lets you control the life of a sim (computer world person) on your PC. The Sims Deluxe Edition is basically the original Sims game plus the Livin' Large expansion pack, and a few items exclusive to...

SIMply Marvelous To The Max

Date of Review:  Aug 15, 2003
The Bottom Line: Buy this game and enjoy many hours of game play. But beware that you will play this game for many hours.
Review: Maxis has had this PC-Game hit on its hands for quite some time now. In this game you can literally run the lives of the citizens in your virtual little town. If you are brave you may decide to fashion your own Sim citizen and determine everything...

Kiss goodbye to your social life.

Date of Review:  Mar 15, 2004
The Bottom Line: Don't buy it. Enjoy real life - it's a lot more satisfying.
Review: With 14 other reviews to date it may seem that the Sims needs no more epinions made. However, no-one seems to have really given it a good slagging off, so here goes…

Don't get me wrong, on first appearances this is a gem of a game. The...

The Sims= Fun and Excitement

Date of Review:  Jun 26, 2008
Review: This game is a must for any person who like simulated games. You start out with a basic house and basic furniture just like in real life, and have to work a real job to earn money. Rent is due, and you pay it, you work on every day skills. You cook,...

Very fun... for the first 3 hours

Date of Review:  Nov 11, 2005
The Bottom Line: Borrow it from a friend, or rent the console version first. Once you get bored of it, you're not ever going to want to play it again.
Review: You start in a tiny little home, maybe 400 square feet, broke and unemployed. You find a job, meet the neighbors, and spend your time studying. This is my favorite part of the game, knowing there is so much to get done, feeling great anticipation,...
