The Sims 3

Review

by Electronic Arts

Electronic Arts (2009)

Being a bit of a gaming geek, I'll admit I was a tad bit excited to finally get my hands on the first expansion pack for The Sims 3 - World Adventures! As I've written before, this new game features forays into France, China and, my personal favourite - Egypt. Having played about in Heritage Key's own fantastic virtual world experience, King Tut Virtual, I was looking forward to seeing how the new release from Electronic Arts would fare up.

If you're not familiar with The Sims games, then I'll give you a quick run down. You play a character (called a Sim) in a virtual town, and you manage their life for them. You tell them when to eat, sleep, go to work, indulge in a hobby, have a relationship, and even when to take a bath or use the toilet! If you're a control freak (like me), then this is the perfect game for you.

You can read the rest of my review in my blogpost, here.
