Pharaoh Game

Gawd, I have forgotten about this game. I first played this back in 2000 I think, when I got the CD from my brother. I totally fell in love with it, and I remembered playing it 24-7. It's a game set on ancient Egypt where you build a settlements and cities.

It's some kind of a strategy game where you need to meet the objectives of each scenarios of the game. You will start out by building a small settlement, and from there on you'll be given missions after missions, and each mission gets harder each time.

I tried playing the game again this week, and although the graphic and the controls are not as advance as the latest strategy games available, I still am in love with the game! It's been 9 years and playing it back after all these years is still a treat for me. Maybe after I finished all the missions I will play it again after 9 more years, maybe I'll do a review in it again, ahahah! But come to think of it.. after 9 years.. I'll be like - OLD! OMG! Will I still be playing these kind of games??? >.<

The Sims 3

Thanks to a very good friend of mine, I was able to play the highly anticipated 'The Sims 3' (TS3)!! At first I was disappointed with it since I find the features in creating a sim are limited as compared with The Sims 2. Another thing was the graphic was not as I hoped for (this was later resolved by changing the resolution ^_^).

The thing I like about TS3 is that you can go to your neighbour's houses and follow your sim to work, jog and of course go fishing. In TS3, you can view of the neighbourhood parks, beaches, shops, etc and not just watch the house and wait for your sims to come back home from work as it was in TS and TS2.

The inventory in TS3 lets you keep stuffs you need such as laptops, cars, bicycles, food, books etc, which I find convenient since you don't have to go to a specific place to do things, you just click on the item on the inventory and your sim will do it. Aside from that, I also like the feature where you dont have to go to a phone to call a friend, you can just click the sim on your relationship panel to call or to invite the sim over.

So far I like TS3 as compared with the previous two. But the only thing is that although it has 4 time options, in TS3, the fast forward time is not as fast as I hoped.
