The Sims: Makin' Magic Video Game Expansion

Harry Potter has some cool magic from all the studying he's done at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Well, now your Sim can learn to cast spells too! The Makin' Magic expansion for The Sims video game will deliver a MagiCo starter kit to your Sims home that'll let your Sim start learning all kinds of magic. You'll be able to perform tricks at parties, summon things to clean the house and even have a wizard duel with Draco Malfo... er... other Sims. There's no info yet on when The Sims: Makin' Magic will hit stores, but it sounds Sim-ply magical.

Star Wars Video Game RPG for Xbox

In the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic video game you won't be chillin' with peeps like Anakin, Obi-Wan, Padme or even the Emperor. Instead, it's set thousands of years before the Star Wars movies when the evil Sith were still fighting with the Jedi. In the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic video game you'll be able to pick up a lightsaber, gain companions, use The Force and even join the dark side as you play. The Xbox game drops on July 16, 2003 and the PC version will be out mid-summer 2003 so keep your blaster ready and don't make a deal with a hutt!
