Not content with the money-printing series The Sims 2, last year EA released an even more casual, kid-friendly game called MySims, but specifically for the Wii and DS. It differed from the regular Sims games in that you didn't have to worry about micromanaging your Sim's life and daily habits. Instead, it was Animal Crossing-like in that the storyline presented a problem that you had to solve by helping out others and rebuilding a town. This fall EA will release its sequel, MySims Kingdom and based on the brief amount of time GameShark had to preview the game, it seems that it's offering more of the same, but with a fresh face.
PBG plays MySims Kingdom for some unexplained reason. Is it really as awful as it looks? Well...yes.
Green Pixels: Plunking down $50 for a brand-new game can be a gamble -- it's a lot of money to pay for something that you could end up hating. However, most games don't stay full-price for long, which is why we scoured the inventories of four major retailers (Amazon, GameStop, Target, Walmart) to find a slew of great titles that are now priced at just $20. For the cost of one freshly released game, you can buy two older titles and still have $10 left to spend on snacks. (And we all know the importance of snacks.)
RealGamer writes: "MySims Kingdom for the DS is very similar in principle to its Wii brethren, just scaled down. Instead of a host of different islands to explore and customise you have a single town that has undergone a massive upheaval due to someone stealing all the decorations?"
Wii games sell very well!
