28. The Sims 3 Released
Written on Wednesday 3 June 2009 at 20:49 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Right now we're somewhere in the middle between the worldwide release dates of The Sims 3. Yesterday it was released in the US and various other parts of the world, and shops worldwide are selling the game - in some cases a few days early - already. Large parts of Europe will have to wait until tomorrow or Friday (including the UK) until the official release. Altogether the launch of perhaps EA's biggest PC game of the year is in full swing.

Not all has gone well for EA with the Sims 3, as an almost final version of the game was leaked 2 weeks ago. The final version was also leaked just before the weekend. It has already been downloaded so often that according to some sources it's well in the running for becoming this year's most pirated game. More problems hit EA when the official community website was found to be open as well, which lasted several hours.

Nevertheless EA is probably expecting to cash in now, after a huge marketing campaign. The official site is open, people are playing the game, sharing on the exchange, and more. Besides the release on the PC and Mac, there is also a mobile version for iPhone and iPod Touch. The game will be released in 60 countries, translated to 22 languages. Read on for EA's full press release regarding this big release.

In the past few weeks there have been several fan events in London and Manchester (UK), Utrecht (Netherlands) and São Paulo, Salvador and Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). Quite a number of fan sites wrote one or even multiple previews, interviews and other articles about the Sims 3. We've collected a list of all articles we could find in random order. If you know of other recent articles by fan sites, feel free to tell us about them! Note that all the English translations are automatic translations from Google Translate. When an article doesn't have a specific link to an English translation, it will be in English or there's no text to translate (i.e. just pictures). Anyway, read on for the complete list!

[Update] We've added previews from SimOperations, SimsShine and Sims Universe since we first posted this.

30. Hands-On Demo of "The Sims 3" for Apple Users [iUpdate]
Written on Wednesday 20 May 2009 at 16:11 by Andy - 0 comments.

Here's the latest from The Sims 3.

"Be the first to experience The Sims 3 game with a hands-on demo of the all-new Create A Sim feature, only available at Apple stores worldwide, before the game hits shelves.

Test drive the ultimate in customization by creating your own unique Sim, from hair, wardrobe to personality, the choices is yours. You can even sample the Create A Style feature within the Create A Sim, that lets you edit your Sims attire & hair in countless ways.

Experience the infinite possibilities of The Sims 3…check out The Sims 3 Create A Sim Demo your nearest Apple store today!"

This news was only released an hour ago (West Coast time), so that doesn't give much time for European users if "worldwide" includes outside of the USA. For those who can make it, time to get your skates on.

[Update] All the traces of the demo have been removed from the official website. It's unsure whether it really is available already, or may never even be available. We'll keep you informed.
