Kotaku Previews MySims Agents

AJ Glasser from Kotaku recently got her hands on MySims Agents for the Wii. So far she really likes it. The only problem she found was the platforming is not that great compared to the puzzle solving aspects of the game. Check out her preview here

IGN Charts the Sims Expansions

Sorry again for the lack of news pieces as of late. My PC died and my new one is arriving on the 15th, so things should get better after that.

Anyway, IGN put up a feature which charts all of the TS1 and TS2 expansions. The feature is kind of useless, but is a nice peace regardless. Check it out here

The EP Bracket is over!

I know it has gone on longer then i would have though. But the outcome i predicted happened. In the first post i said that it would be Seasons vs Apartment Life in the finals, and that seasons would win. In the end Seasons got 7/8 Votes. and AL got the 1/8.

Seasons is the best TS2 expansion according to our poll. (Want to voice your opinion?, leave a comment). Thanks to everyone that voted, and look out for our new poll on the right hand side of the site!

The MySims Racing Reviews Arrive

It's been a chaotic week over here at SN HQ. As soon as I got home from vacation my computer died, so i haven't had much of a chance to update. So, while i was on vacation 3 reviews for MySims Racing popped up on the web.

Review from "NGamerUK"

By no means bad, but less than we'd expect from the MySims 'franchise'. Limps home a distant second place to the real thing.

Score: 6.9/10

Review from "Multiplayer.it"

The inevitable comparison between Mario Kart and MySims Racing is unfair at best: even if the game is kinda fun to play, EA's title can't be nearly as good as Nintendo's milestone. If you can get over it, you'll find yourself with a nice but unpolished racing game.
Score: 6.7. Read Full Review

Review from "Gameplayer Sweeden"

The Sims Racing passes the theory test, but fail the driving test instead. There's really no point in playing this when there are games like Mario Kart around.
Score: 4/10. Read Full Review
