Third time is the charm. About time they are getting it right. Open neighborhood and everything.

I think this year. I saw something in a gaming mag when I was waiting in line at Best Buy. Love the quote by the way. Savage Nation FTW.

Seems from the information so far that you won't be forced to wake your sim 4 hours(!) before going to the job because he has to go on toilet, take a shower and eat food. And finally they've understood that open neighborhoods is what could make Sims so much funnier. Although I still doubt the game will make me want to get my hands on it.

 Looks awesome. Unfortunately with Spore coming out I cant afford the expansions for both games. I love the idea of free and open neighborhoods though! Finally people can interact in a more realistic manner.

Ahhhh! I have not been a large fan of the Sims.  There is a third one?  Well, I guess it is some peoples version of MMo to them.  So I can't rip on it that much without being hypocrital....I;m in it for the XP~!

Honestly haven't played The Sims since the first one.  Never played any expansion packs or anything.. just the bare bones first game.  But, I did like it a lot and I wasted many hours of my life on it when I was younger.

I took a look at Sims 2 and didn't care for it, but just from the video on the official site for Sims 3, I am actually pretty interested in it.  Looks like it would be pretty fun, at least for a while.

i've always been addicted to the sims. could keep me in front of the computer for several hours a day. but since the expansions kept on going, i've never been able to keep up and found myself stuck with the sims 2.

I'm on the fence about this one.  I always seem to enjoy the sims games until I start having to make a dozen friends in order to get promoted, I always thought that that part of the game was stupid...networking I can understand, but that should be through actual work related conferences that you can send your sim on, not merely knowing 12 people in your neighborhood who are completely unrelated to your career.

There's something kinda sad about the way that things have come to be, desensitized to everything, what became of subtlety?
