I wanna be able to go and fight both of those people.
Since most us here over at Busy Gamer spend a big chunk of our social time in cramped office rooms, we obviously wish we were playing more games instead of planning our yearly events and next game reviews to tackle. Yeah, we actually have to perform some sort of work around here, it would be great if we could twiddle our joysticks and money would fly out of our butts. Well, maybe anyhow…
Regardless, one of this year’s most anticpiated releases will be Sims 3, and according to EA today they are pushing the game back to the fourth quarter to ‘ensure the best marketing representation’. Well whatever that means, what I’m saying is that we here at BG headquarters love to delve into the world of the fast simolean lifestyle to create some better, and much more interesting life encounters. Actually I prefer to create all of my friends in the game, trap them in a room with no doors, give em a coffee machine and let nature take it’s course. Hehe, call me a sick b*stard but I think it’s damn funny.
This is what it looks like we are getting from Sims 3 sometime this year (from The Sims website):
Explore a Seamless, Living Neighborhood
Your Sims can roam throughout their neighborhood, visit neighbors’ homes, and explore the surroundings. They can stroll downtown to hang out with friends, meet someone new at the park, or run into colleagues on the street. If your Sims are in the right place at the right time, who knows what might happen?
I’d like to see them add some GTA4 features, sometimes you just don’t have time to court your neighbor’s wife, you just want some ahem “comfort” and some increased “social” points, so what if it costs you 30 Simoleans?
New Create a Sim
New easy-to-use design tools allow for unlimited customization to make truly individual Sims. Determine your Sims’ shape and size, from thin to full-figured to muscular—and everything in between! Choose your Sims’ facial features, their skin tone, hair color and style, eye shape and color, and select their clothing and accessories.
Seems fairly the same as the others, probably better graphics and emotions. I think they have done a great job in the past. I’d like to see better tattoos, and maybe some scars. Hey, we here at Busy Gamer like to flaunt our battle wounds.

I'd like to see my Sim barf from drinking too much, just like RL.
New Personality Traits System
Create realistic Sims with distinctive personalities. Select from dozens of personality traits and combine them in fun ways. The combination of traits you choose—brave, artistic, loner, perfectionist, klepto, romantic, clumsy, paranoid, and much, much more—help shape the behavior of your Sims and how they interact with other Sims. They are complex individuals with unique personalities who can now rise above their basic set of everyday needs.
How about crazy psycho ex-girlfriend trait? Oh wait, we are trying to get away from real life.
New Customize Everything
Build your dream house and design the ultimate home. Customize everything from floors to décor, shirts to sofas, wallpaper to window shades. It’s fun and easy to change colors and patterns, giving you endless personalization options. Or you can choose to easily populate your Sims’ neighborhood with pre-designed buildings and furnishings. Which of your Sims will live in high-end mansions, cool bachelor pads, ultimate dream homes, or cozy cottages?
Of course we like to re-build our infamous “Trailer-House of Doom” we spent our early twenties in. Now that’s putting some flavor into the game.
Over all, I can’t wait until it hits Xbox 360 (which I couldn’t see it not landing on). Hopefully it will feature some crossing over to my friends neighborhoods, messing up their house and sleeping with their wives and girlfriends. Oh wait, it is supposed to be unlike real life…haha.
