The Sims 2


Earlier this year we posted a video of our extremely handsome mugs chattering on about the most important games of the past decade. Did you miss it? Were you so distracted by our handsome facial hair that our words washed across you impotently like waves over rocks? Good news everyone!


Pac-Man and Mario owned the 1980s. Sonic, Lara and Snake took over for the 1990s. Their games are considered classics. Their names are timeless and iconic. Their images are burned into the memory of every gamer, even those who were born after the characters themselves.

Now we have another ten years worth of heroes, villains, sidekicks and love interests to occupy our imagination. Which, however, will remain there?

Gamers are a diverse and extremely opinionated bunch. If you love something with all your heart and soul, we guarantee you that someone else hates it with an equal amount of passion. Chances are good, in fact, that the person who despises your precious favorite is a person you know, like or even trust. Your favorite GamesRadar editor, for example…

For some players, The Sims' Build Mode is an entire game. In fact, for a special few - who we like to call builders - it's the only game. It's a real eye-opening experience for us who make this game to see how far the systems we create can be pushed. It's also a testament to the ingenuity, not to mention the persistence, of the builders out there who have a vision and use Build Mode to realize that vision. It would be simply impossible to talk about all the mind-blowingly cool buildings that

We can barely keep up. Will is on a roll, from the very moment we meet him, he's off, chatting away, explaining the design decisions that makes The Sims 2 one of the finest games we've played. And, 'click'... we're recording every word...What do you do in The Sims? What do you do when you're playing it? That depends. Sometimes I'll recreate strange versions of real people. I did a version of Arnold Schwarzenegger in the game, but I called him Arnold Oppelganger and I made him a yacht, using
