Sims 3 Town Life out now!

sims-3-townstuff

EA Games have released a further "stuff pack" for Sims 3 and although its not an actual expansion pack it does add some interesting new features despite not really contributing anything to game play.

PTJXa-1306922609896_t_v1

The wolfpack is back for the worst night of their lives To be entirely fair some of us firmly believe the Sims 3 version, whilst short, is actually a hell of a lot funnier than the original - which, to be fair, is simple a rehashing of the first movie in a different context with a lot of the same humour rehashed. Boooring. Its a big marketing ploy by EA Games we known, but its jolly good fun. That said I absolutely slammed Sims 3 in a recent review of the game which, for me, didnt really … [Read more...]

Dragon Quest VI has a considerable mystique surrounding it. Released only in Japan on the Super Famicom way back in 1995, Dragon Quest VI, like V before it, was never localized for a western release. As a result, VI was one of two dark spots on the western chronology of Dragon Quest games. Last year, half of this problem was rectified when Dragon Quest V found its way to the Nintendo DS. Now, Dragon Quest VI has also been released on Nintendo's handheld [Read more] The Dragon Quest series begun … [Read more...]

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Trailer

call-of_duty-3

Going on the trailer alone this is definitely one to save your hard earned pennies up for. Superb graphics and almost lifelike backdrops. "It doesn't take the most powerful nations on Earth to create the next global conflict, just the will of a single man," intones a brief spot of narration in the trailer. That conflagration kicks in the streets of New York, presumably following through on a Russian invasion that was imminent at the end of Modern Warfare 2. The action then moves to England, … [Read more...]
