Re: The Sims 2

I bought the first one and loved it but I happened to find it at the weekend and have been playing it non stop so will prob end up buying it. It is a lot more complicated than the first one.

You pick it up and before you know it, three hours have passed.
Surely that's the idea behind any computer game - to pass the time away There's no such thing as a productive computer game

I couldn't get my other half off the PC with a crowbar when we first got it - no more of that please, it's mine

Anyway, with a real baby to look after the last thing I want to do is unwind by looking after a virtual one!

Re: The Sims 2

Well this female hates the bluddy Sims.If I want sulky recalcitrant single minded stupid lazy people to try and boss about I've got enough of them in real life.I can never get one of the little beggers to do as they are told and in the end I just get vicious with them.See if I care if yer house burns down you ungrateful little oiks.

So the game was handed on and my house is SIMS free.

Now Settlers there's a whole different game.

Re: The Sims 2

Well, I managed to obtain an erm... evaluation copy of this It's for the missus not me, cause I can't stand the bleedin' game. Anyway, the game looks as though not only have they vastly improved the UI, but also the engine itself has been given a spruce-up too. The characters are a lot more developed and less 2 dimensional (personality-wise not graphically speaking) than the original.

However, it does require a faster machine than the wife's current one, so it looks as though an upgrade is imminent. Yippee!!!!!!

Funny how this was never important when I mentioned Doom 3 and HL2, eh?
