    This game is the life you wish you had. This game may be one of the most addicting games in gaming history. Truely great

    Some games are the first to do something. And most of the time it takes time to make that game perfect. But that doesnt go for the sims, this game got it right the first time and just improved its perfectness over the ye... Read Full Review

    Why do people love doing the same thing over and over again so much?

    First, it's the Sims. Then, it's World of Warcraft. I've already written a review about World of Warcraft, so now, I'll talk about the Sims. Hey buddy, here's an idea: Instead of plaing a game where you live the li... Read Full Review

    One of the landmark titles of video gaming.

    The Sims is one of those games the allure of which you can't quite manage to describe, but to which you keep coming back nonetheless. A game without any goal or victory condition, without opponents and (mostly) any possi... Read Full Review

    The best expansion pack to The Sims.

    If you are going to buy just one The Sims expansion pack, it should be Hot Date as it does not only add more purchasable items to the base game, it actually improves the game play in many ways. First, there is a new l... Read Full Review

    A worthy expansion to The Sims.

    Unlike most of the expansions released to the popular The Sims series, House Party actually delivers something worth your money: it allows you to throw large parties and gives even more choices during house design. T... Read Full Review

    Needless expansion.

    This has to be the most useless expansion pack ever released. Unlike the six expansions following it, Livin' Large doesn't add anything of substance to the base game. You basically get a couple of new items to purchase f... Read Full Review

    Innovative, even if not very appealing

    Superstar is actually like a breeze of fresh air into The Sims series even though, personally, I did not find the theme very appealing. Aside from the usual expansion of the number of purchasable items (some of them outr... Read Full Review

    The Sims gets seriously long in the tooth

    Vacation is not an entirely bad expansion to The Sims. The game receives plenty of additional furnishings and a large resort island where you can take your Sims to for vacation. Sunny beaches, a forest camp and snow cove... Read Full Review

    One word: incongruous

    Of all the expansions to The Sims, I find Makin' Magic to be the worst. A desperate attempt on the part of Maxis to milk its cash cow by piecing together a fantasy-styled Superstar-inspired magic shows, regardless of how... Read Full Review
