Wii Nation

Wow. Yet another version of the highly popular game has come back to get me. My obsession started with the original PC version of The Sims, then came the PS2 version, followed shortly after by Sims 2 for the PC. Of course, I didn’t mention the array of many many expansion packs available, all of which I was ‘forced’ to purchase, bringing the never ending obsession to a new level. I gained some sort of self control and decided that I would not indulge this nerdy side of me any longer and I’ve been clean for over a year…and now this.

MySims, which is said to release in Fall of this year, puts a new spin the ole Sims games. The characters you create are Mii-like rather than overly detailed as in the other versions. As always, there is a large variety of hairstyles and clothing to choose from, even more options become available as you unlock them throughout the game and expand your wardrobe- fabulous! The game also starts you out in a rundown Sim town, but as time progresses you can mold the town into your own, creating better looking houses, businesses and landscapes. You can even make your own appliances and furniture using the creativity tools provided.

Let’s hope MySims for the Nintendo Wii isn’t as ‘crack-tastic’ as the others- but I won’t hold my breath. Wiiiiiii, I’m excited!
