Digital Chumps writes: "The very first rule to being a great reviewer is to always keep an open mind. Sounds easy, right? Well, it isn't (I swear). It's something that even the most seasoned critics struggle with on a regular basis, and for good reason: as humans, we're wired to continually and subconsciously build sprawling frameworks of pattern-based predictive models in our minds. It's how we survive, and it's innate… but conversely, when it comes to professional criticism, it's also a primary source of weakness. A crucial quality that separates great reviewers from untrustworthy ones is their ability to "turn off" this natural tendency and revert to complete open-mindedness (as complete as possible, anyway) when they sit down to evaluate a product."
PBG says some things, and then MySims Agents happens.
Gamertell has posted a positive review of EA's MySims Agents for Wii.
From the review:
"While both prior MySims games were straightforward simulation and adventure games, where you'd need to create building and furniture on request, MySims Agents breaks away from the simulation elements and is strictly an adventure game. After playing, I'm pleasantly surprised and would consider MySims Agents my favorite entry in the series."
About writes: "Kid's games. For me, the phrase brings to mind tedious exercises in bland, cloying dialogue, nonsensical stories and dumbed-down, poorly implemented gameplay; games no one over ten could enjoy. But sometimes, just sometimes, a game aimed at children is just plain fun. Such is the case with MySims Agents."
