487. Sims 2 Get A Life for PC?

Written on Thursday 24 August 2006 at 03:53 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

The Australian shop GameHead is cause of a new rumour, namely "The Sims 2 Get A Life". The product is said to be released 28 September, roughly three weeks before Pets is released on PC and other platforms. The title "Get A Life" was used earlier in the first Console version of the Sims, but this listing is for PC and is called the Sims 2. The price of $67.40 Australian comes down to roughly £30 or $50 US, which is for a full priced game. That means it's not likely this is another expansion or stuff pack for the Sims 2, but it might be a bundle of the base game with an expansion or stuff pack. What exactly it will be - if anything at all - is still uncertain, but if there's any news we'll let you know here. Thanks to SimsZone for the link.

Written on Wednesday 23 August 2006 at 04:20 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Similar to an article earlier this year published by the New York Times, the UK newspaper the Telegraph has posted an article on their website about the Sims, and how young children play the game. They've interviewed Bethany Howe, 11, and her mother. Bethany showed the Telegraph around her houses, families and neighbourhoods, as well as the creation of a Sim. Her mother is alright with Bethany playing so much, since the game is safe and non-graphic. Caroline Pelletier from London University's Centre for the Study of Children, Youth and Media explains how little girls playing the Sims tend to explore subversive behaviour with the game. Covering five pages, you can check out the entire article for all the little details.
