Continuing
on from last week’s review of the recently released game, Murdered: Soul
Suspect, I’ve decided to look at the prequels of the games from E3 that are
scheduled to release at the end of the year. The game under the microscope this
week is The Sims 3.
The Sims
3 is a strategic life simulation game developed by EA Maxis and published by
EA, released on June the 2nd 2009. Throughout this half a decade,
numerous amounts of expansion packs have been released to add on content to the
game and increase its playability, such as increasing the amount of careers
available and the number of things a Sim can do. The game has sold over 10
million copies since its release, making it the best-selling PC game of all
time. The sequel, The Sims 4, is scheduled to release on the 2nd of
September.
