The Sims™ Online at E3!
The Sims Online was a huge hit at this year's E3. Check out what the press had to say about it!

Gamespot: "While The Sims Online may seem just like a glorified Internet chat room, the game actually has many layers of depth, making the entire experience of controlling a Sim much more exciting."

IGN: "This time around, Will Wright may not have invented a brand new genre as he did with both SimCity and The Sims, but he may have done something more amazing -- taking the best aspects of community-building on the web and putting them into what looks is going to be one hell of a game."

SimsVille™ at E3!
Gamespy: "Ever wonder where your Sims go when they're not at work? While I was a great fan of The Sims, I was always puzzled by this question. Where do my Sims go when they're not at work? Do they ever shop? Go to the movies? Go visit a friend? Take a drive? Run errands? Simsville, which inhabits the middle ground between SimCity 3000 and The Sims, gives us the answers to those questions."
