[General Discussion] Recent Game Purchases, or what I bought instead of fourteen new dildos this weekend

I think it's pretty cool. Starting your own business has a kinda tough learning curve, but once you get into the swing of things, it's great. If your neighbourhood has lots of kids, I'd highly recommend this, as you can now make lots of new toys with the crafting workshop. The base game had a pathetic amount of stuff for kids to do, and it irked me somewhat. Now they can play with pet bricks, sell lemonade, have more interactions with adults, fly kites, play with clown-in-boxes, and more.

That doesn't sound so bad, I take that it doesn't live up to the Nightlife expansion pack. Either way, I could something new to add to my current Sims lifestyle.

Just so this post doesn't get deleted like the last time, my most recent "purchase" was NBA Live 2006. It was actually a gift and if I was home at the time it was left then I wouldn't have accepted it. The game itself doesn't even match up to NBA 2K2 on the Dreamcast. That 360 console is looking more and more prettier everyday with the release of MLB2K6 on the way and NBA2K6 out right now. I seriously need to make more use of my HDTV. :doh:

Thanks for your input by the way Freelance Wolf.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Oh, and no, it still doesn't live up to Nightlife. Gawd, I can't live without that expansion pack. I still haven't gotten University. The whole school thing bugs me, especially when I don't have many teenagers in my neighbourhood. I sure want that pool table though >_>

I hope that a Pet one comes out soon. I want a dog and a ferret, dammit!



You're welcome :3

Hmmm, Open for Business would go pretty well since my Sims are expecting thier 7th child pretty soon. The rest of the kids are off at College living it up. I guess I'll pick this up after Wed. of next week, still dealing with dreaded midterms left and right. :juggler: If there were enough Sim players here a thread dedicated to all things Sims would be nice, would be interesting to see some Sim snapshots.

To not get off topic here, my most recent purchase was Hitman 2 for the Nintendo GC. On sale for $5 which isn't so bad especially if it's brand new. The game is pretty good considering it's such an aged title. Last time I played this title was on PC borrowed from a friend running on my old P3 500MHZ enos ago. :doh:

There's nowhere I can't reach.
