The master of the simulation game returns

Advantages: Excellent graphics, simple control system, good game depth, excellent amount of careers on offer
Disadvantages: Lack of things to purchase when first purchase the game but can download add ons

The Sims 3 sees the hugely successful franchise from EA games return with its newest version on the PC following The Sims 2 and all of its expansion packs, The Sims Castaway and The Sims Stories. This is the game all of those who loved the Sims have been waiting for and keeping hope up that it would fix all of those little things wrong with the old versions but does it deliver? First impressions on loading the game were that is once again had an ...
...department which were the 2 biggest worries I had as these were the 2 basic elements. So once I was past these 2 hurdles did things get better or worse? Well the game once again allowed the player a good amount of control over the development of your household but disappointingly I felt the game did lack items to be purchased and felt that this was something lacking which I had beleived the game would have addressed but I am guessing this has been ...

Football Manager returns

Advantages: Great depth of gameplay, fantastic interface, 3D match engine allows you to see tactics work
Disadvantages: Takes a long time to install and steam does cause some frustration

...huge depth that has made Football Manager the market leader in the football managing genre. So...is it still the best??? Well this is always going to come down to the individual person and their choice but if you stick at it and get used to the new developments you appreciate it more and more and see how fantastic the small improvements really are. If you are willing to sit and make notes on tactics, players, training and all other areas then you ...

Originality at its best

Advantages: Hours of amusement
Disadvantages: The game has its limits, compared to the new Sims 2 and 3 just released

After returning back to The sims, after Sims 2 didnt work on my PC i realised how original and fun it was to play. Building the houses literally from the walls up is brilliant...you can easily spend a good few hours one house. The graphics arent all that good depending on what sort of computer you have and how much disk space you have left...but the speed of the game is alot quicker than that of the new SIms 2 and 3, most probably because it doesn';t ...
...to realise we can't underestimate the origanal, you can see why the game is such a hit worldwide. If you want to create some excitement in your life, creat a family on the original sims and let them have the life you want or completely ruin it...which is always fun to do knowing that its not real. ...

I'm afraid you have a serious case of Bloaty Head.

Advantages: Diverse objectives, non-linear, not at all dated, a lot of fun, cheap, relatively simple.
Disadvantages: Similar to a lot of other titles, e.g; Rollercoaster Tycoon, Theme Park, Dungeon Keeper....

...and Electronic Arts (Dead Space, Theme Park.) Theme Hospital is one of the few classic retro PC games that has barely aged at all. The game's objective is to successfully run a successful and economically viable hospital in order to move to a larger hospital before finally completing the game. Sub-objectives include distributing money frugally to fund research, hiring capable staff within a reasonable price range, ensuring that your hospital has ...
...and staff happy, buying and selling plots of land, assigning different handymen to different specialties including machine maintenance, cleaning and watering plants, and ensuring that you run a hygienic and efficient hospital, which will be routinely checked by a VIP. This game is instilled with much of the humour and light-heartedness of most of Bullfrog's titles, as well as being a game which appeals to the more passive gamer. It is available on ...
