Now, I don’t know whether i’ve been completely ignorant or just plain blind to the fact that there are Sims videos EVERYWHERE, but I hadn’t come across this strange phenomena until today. It seems that some Sim fanatics out there have been making mock videos of popular music videos and films. A must-see i’ve got to admit. And once you know about these, you literally find them everywhere you go. Anyway, enough of me jabbering on, it will be better if you see one for yourself…. (more…)

I thought I’d bring a bit of nostalgia to the iPhone by telling you of the Sims 3 app. Let’s all admit it, at least one point in our lives we have all been seriously addicted to the Sims on our computer; trying to learn the cheats so that we could build a mansion for our virtual friends to live in rather than a crummy small house. Sims allowed a whole new gaming revelation, allowing us to control our virtual friend’s lives. Now EA has jumped on the bandwagon so we can play the ever so popular game on our iPhones. (more…)

3D…3D…3D, the world has gone 3D mad; every other electronics company is trying to come up with some 3D gadget. We’ve seen 3DTVs, 3D games and even 3D printers, I wonder if we’ll have a 3D pen some day that could draw in 3D. Most of the work is going on in the entertainment industry, but not so much in gaming, as 3DTVs lack backing of the 3D content. 3D video games seem to be the answer to this problem.

Well, the wait is over and it’s finally here! (more…)
