Have you tried it yet? That means that you are not one of about 70 million Americans that are crazy about The Sims. The Sims is a strategic life simulation game and the best-selling PC game ever made. Since its birth in 2000, several expansion packs along with a sequel The Sims 2 have been released.

What distinguishes the Sims from other PC games is that it presents day-to-day activities of a person or people (called The Sims), who live in the suburbs. The game does not have any final goal, the mission is to help the characters to live normally and go through their daily activities like eating, bathing, cooking, paying bills, cleaning the house, etc.

You are invited to create your own characters. However, the pre-made Sims enjoy a great popularity. The Sims have their own free will, which means that they can fulfill your commands later or totally ignore them. You are to make decisions about the personal development of the characters (reading, listening to music, etc.) and their maintenance (eating, sleeping, etc.)

The characters can die if they are not properly maintained or sink into depression if they do not have enough fun and their fun level bar lowers down. For the full information about the game, you can go to http://www.wikipedia.com.

Specialists say that The Sims is rather a toy than a game. The fact that 46% of the players are girls is surprising, because usually PC games attract young male population. Some argue that the game makes the girls abandon their dolls and get glued to the PC. However, it is strange to see a girl sitting in front of a PC playing a virtual game, in which a virtual girl sits in front of a PC playing a virtual game, etc.

The Sims are so popular, that both of its websites http://www.thesims.eu.com and http://www.thesims2.eu.com are literally packed with various wallpapers, cool features, new characters and fun stuff. The game is now available in mobile and console formats.

Life is a game and games are downloadable today. Mobile phone games are experiencing a resurgence and game developers are as active as ever. Infospace has just launched a new one that is called Marble Galaxy.

The game is a mixture of simplicity and ease, of marbles and pool. The goal is to pocket marbles into the holes that are of the same colour. The launcher at the bottom of the screen is the device to shoot from. To make a game more interesting, all kinds of obstacles is in place and the aim is to score as many points as possible.

The game has two modes: a Tutorial Mode and a Career mode. The first one is easier and can be enjoyed while on the move, while the second one is a more advanced gameplay that requires greater attention and precision. Here the player is invited to oppose the best players that reside on other planets of the Galaxy. The awards include points and trophies.

The creators of the game said that they were striving to make a game that would be easy, fun to play, compelling and convenient, which is what mobile phone users need to have.

The product is to be available in Europe and North America in April this year.

Recently, the developers of mobile phone games have been mulling over the ways to make games for headsets more qualitative and popular. The issue has been on the agenda of the Game Developers Conference Mobile, which was held in San Jose, US. The idea number 1 that was the motto of the gathering was “one-button gameplay.”

One of the drawbacks existing in mobile games today is that they are complicated and before starting it a user has to get familiar with the rules and the rules must not be longer than several lines. So the easier and the more colorful and attractive games win the race. Let’s play.
