Issue 3: Games Sims Play
A Big Night In
Gear up for the ultimate showdown of gaming talents. Whether you keep it all in the family or invite neighbors and friends to join the fun, a game night is a great way to spend time with those close to you.
Games Sims Play interviewed six Sims to find out what they're playing.
April Schuks
At our house, we love playing Don't Wake the Llama. As the tower grows taller, I start getting more and more nervous placing my stick. After all, I don't want to be the one to wake the llama! Sometimes, we even try to distract each other when it's someone else's turn. It's great fun and it means at least for one night we're not all glued to the TV.
Lisette Parker
SPORE™ is my absolute favorite. I was so excited for it to come out and now that it's here I can't play it enough! I get so wrapped up in it that I don't even realize how much time has passed. When I'm in the zone hours seem to pass by. It's as if I feel no need to eat, sleep, or even pee. That's just how absorbed I become.
Peter Howard
My friend James comes over at least once a week and we play EA games like FIFA 08 together.
It's a great way to relax and hang out, but we both get pretty competitive about it. If he wins, I always end up playing on my own afterwards trying to improve my game.
Mandy Tiller
MySims™! They're so cute! I love roaming around the town and playing different games. And I created this really awesome house.
Colin Zimmerman
It's all about strategy for me. I play Command & Conquer™ 3 Tiberium Wars. I get really into the strategy and scheming. I like seeing how different methods can bring about a totally different outcome. It's cool.
Thomas Valenzuela
We play it all at my house. My family loves games! We have a den that's kind of like our game room. It has a pool table, a dart board, board games, and a video game console with loads of games. My dad is even teaching me to play chess.
What are the odds?
Sims who aspire to have great families can earn a benefit that increases their chance of having twins! It's twice as much fun for the parents and provides a ready-made, game-playing opponent for their sibling.
With all those challenging and fun games, why not consider hosting your own game night with your family and friends?
