Sims 3 Preview

The Sims 3 'Walkthrough' trailer

Since this is probably the top selling game series of all time, you have to give it its props.  I have to admit that I do enjoy playing the game every once in a while, I'm just not the type to keep shelling out 20 bucks for every damn expansion that comes out.  The first Sims game was a lot of fun, but did seem like it was only a computerized doll house.  When Sims 2 came out, it started turning more into a sim/game that had possibilities of an ending.  I'm sorry, I like to have a set goal to move towards.  I'll probably end up picking this up because it ends up so hilarious with some of the things that happen.  Any game where a member of your family can be dumb enough to try and fix a broken light in a bathroom where water is all over the floor, eloctrocute themselves and die, then proceed to haunt the family and scare a member to death can provide some enjoyable moments.  By the way, that did happen when I was playing (and I didn't even have to try and have it happen).

Fallout 3 - Escape (1 of 5)

This video is a sneak peek at the upcoming game from Bethesda called Fallout 3. This is a sequel to two of the best rpgs on the PC. They just recently got Interplay to enable the first game for play on Gametap, I subsequently loaded it up and lo and behold, five hours were sucked instantly out of my life. The game and story are very engrossing. Even though it has transformed to more of a shooter, it looks like this will be a game that will suck up a lot of my time when it comes out.

Here are the other videos:

Madden 09 looks spectacular

OK, now everyone can stop complaining about Madden not changing enough each year and getting better. With the graphics that they're displaying right now and this feature with the dynamic foot placement, I think they've definitely improved the game. As it stands, I don't care if the playbook consists of plays drawn in the dirt with bottle caps and rock. I'm buying Madden when it comes out this year.

There are a couple more movies that were placed on Gametrailers.com that show off how much more beautiful the game is, differences in moves, and how much smoother the motion is. I think this is the year people stop bitching and just start playing.

Battlefield Heroes trailer

They have a new trailer for the upcoming shooter from Battlefield Heroes from EA. This game looks like it will be a lot of fun.

Check out the video here.

Preview for upcoming MMO "APB"

OK, I really enjoyed playing Crackdown, and it had nothing to do with the Halo 3 beta. It was a great sandbox game and the creators, RealTime Worlds did a great job. I'm really hoping they can pull this game off, it'd be great to have a cops 'n' robbers type of MMO out there. The way this mission played out looks like it really could break the standard MMO mission mold.

Thanks, Kotaku and GameVideos.com.
