The Sim's

The Sims is an odd one. There's no action, no big bosses, no confusing puzzles and no power ups but it's still really cool. Instead you make a sim-family, design a house for them to live in, pick a job and help keep their life on track. Watching the whole family run around, burn dinner, break the TV, have parties and generally live it up is really, really, cool. These little guys are way cooler than virtual pets and they have stereos that they'll play your MP3's on.

The Sim's is a neat game with tons of cool stuff for the Sims to do: raise families, have kids, get jobs, commit crime, buy furniture, etc... All you need to make it a truly excellent experience is a bit of imagination to bring your sim-family to life.


The Sim's aren't for everyone though. It takes some time to get into it and start exploring the endless possibilities. Once you get used to it you'll be hooked.

    The first game came out in 1991  ;) Anyway, I love Sonic! I stink at the games though lol My favorite characters are Knuckles and Charmy And I agree that this is the best single-player game ever!

    At least you aren't restricted to TTC/or be only able to try the 3-day trial.  We're actually very lucky now; nonmembers don't give Disney a lick of money. I think Toontown is very different from Club Penguin.  It has a full plot and it's 3-Dimensional.  Also, you don't really do all that much in Club Penguin other than chat and do some mini-missions.  Also, the games were targeted to a different audience... and I feel that Toontown has more memories than Club Penguin; though that may be a bit biased as I don't really have any friends on Club Penguin (LOL), don't really play anymore anyway.

    It's like club penguin, I've played it before and you have to pay for almost everything.
