The Sims 2: Mansion & Garden Stuff

Nov 18, 2008

Kudos 2

Oct 6, 2008

A very stripped down version of The Sims, with some style to make up for it.

The Hunter

A free-to-play online hunting sim may sound a bit distasteful, but perhaps shooting virtual fuzzy animals is preferable to shooting real ones.

CITIES XL

SimCity Societies Destinations

Jun 23, 2008

While it offers more of a challenge and some fun, this expansion is just too expensive for what you're getting.

Dark Horizon

Sep 26, 2008

This space fighter is slightly above passable, but it isn't the New Hope that X-Wing and Wing Commander fans had been hoping for.

Galactic Command - Echo Squad

Mar 7, 2008

This unbelievably dull space simulation is only for truly hardcore enthusiasts.

The Sims 2 Apartment Life

Yet another expansion to the uber-simulation series lets you live out the trials and tribulations of apartment life, probably as a testament to the US's crappy housing market.

Bus Driver

Mar 27, 2007

It's all in the title; Bus Driver is a bus simulator. This mundane procedural exercise is perfect for those looking to acquire a job in the public transit industry.

The Sims 2 IKEA Home Stuff

Jun 27, 2008

EA's scraping the bottom of the barrel for Sims 2 expansion packs.

Dream Pinball 3D

Jan 25, 2008

Wow, its 3D! That is pretty darn fancy. Seriously though, there are way too many good to great pinball games out there to really give this one a tilt.

Jumpgate: Evolution

Apr 1, 2008

An MMO flight sim - NOT an MMORPG, for a change.

Circus Empire

Jun 4, 2007

It's a game with depth that will keep you on your toes. There's more to this game than just juggling.

SocioTown

SocioTown - MMO or networking tool. Chat in real time with friends and acquaintances to build your network.

Hunting Unlimited 2008

Sep 18, 2007

This is a half-assed attempt to glorify hunters. It's sparse, cheap and ugly with an obnoxious attitude.

Prison Tycoon 3: Lockdown

Sep 4, 2007

Prison Tycoon is only a little bit above Theme Concentration Camp in terms of unlikeliness. Tack on the part where it sucks and it's safe to say steer clear.

Cake Mania 2

Oct 16, 2007

The mania for cakes could not be contained to just one game. It must spread to at least one more game to deal with such dementia.

The Sims 2 Kitchen and Bath Interior Design Stuff

This Stuff Pack includes everything you need to make that three story marble outhouse of your dreams.

The Sims 2 Double Deluxe

Still haven't given The Sims 2 a try? The Double Deluxe edition is the perfect way to jump in - Sims 2 Nightlife and Sims 2 Celebration Stuff packs are included.

Blue Mars

It's not yet clear whether this 'virtual world' is a real game or some kind of Second Life crap, but we're pretty sure it has nothing to do with the movie Total Recall.
