According to recent leaflets in The Sims 3 High-End Loft Stuff, The Sims 3 World Adventures for iPhone was supposed to be release, or was going to be released in the next few days.

But now according to SimFans, who contacted the German Community Manager, The Sims 3 World Adventures for iPhone has supposedly been pushed back to the 5th of April 2010. Which makes a little sceptical, since EA Mobile UK is advertising the game as available??

Over the past decade music in games has become a vital aspect. From the original ping, ping, ping - to the generic generated sounds, to famous artists (& songs)!
SimCity is no exception, its use of Jazz music has made it an iconic part of the game - and this is what the latest article from Destructoid takes a look at, and how the author fell in love with Jazz from playing SimCity 200! Overall I must say, SimCity influenced me too, and because of that game, I too have some jazz compositions on my playlist which I often listen to when wheezing about my exams and studies!
It took me a long time however to finally realize that I had this secret love for Jazz. Prior to two or three years ago I had no idea who John Coltrane or Miles Davis were yet at the same time I knew these songs and rhymns. I was familiar with the specific era of which I am now a huge devoted fan.
 
Gamespot has published a new feature for The Sims 10th Anniversary!
 
Casting for The Original Sims Commercial, something to be honest I have never thought about. But really amusing and interesting to watch - nice find SimPrograms!


 
Games Radar has published an article which takes a look at the top 100 games of all time, I must say - its sad to not see SimCity higher up in the listings, but then again its nice to see they actually included it, since The Sims and SimCity did revolutionise the gaming industry as we know it.

On another note I'm quite surprised not to see Spore, since spore was the first game (of many now) to use and develop procedural animation. hmm

81 – SimCity 2000 (1993)
Cities are staggering, beautiful, things. They’re also bastards. SimCity games always captured the latter, but 2000 is the best at balancing endless frustration with the compulsion to create a more perfect city. It’s also the only one in the series to capture a little bit of that futurism, letting you build arcologies and then prompt a mass exodus into space. More games should end on a mass exodus to space.

42 – The Sims 3 (2009)
It’s a suburban what-if machine. What if I hit on my neighbour? What if I have kids? What if I explore this crypt? The answer to each is usually funny, dramatic and calamitous. The Sims 3 finally tones down the tedious baby-sitting elements, leaving you free to toy with the soap opera.

And the just if your wondering what actually made it to #1
1 - Deus Ex (2000)
This weird truncated Latin name pops up every time people talk seriously about what games can be or do. Most of us disciples will tell you it’s because of the options: you can evade, hack, shoot, stab, lure, trap, poison, disable, schmooze, and each of these is viable improbably often in its 20-hour tale. But you get into muddier waters if you ask why it hasn’t been surpassed.

The Sims introduced a whole new audience to the world of gaming and was one of the most influential games in the space.

The Sims was one of the first games to open up gaming to a much wider audience and it rewards and attracts a certain type of player that is more self motivated and more creative. It was based in a world that most everyone could recognize even if they were a non-gamer.” – Will Wright, Creator of The Sims

Death By Drowning
After excessive indoor bottle rockets, only one other death can live up to the popularity of fire. That is, of course, death by drowning. Just finish an 8 hour workout? Hop in the pool! You're not too tired for a swim. Oh, could've sworn you put an exit ladder there? Well I'm God and I say you didn't. Happy water exhaustion!
