Greatest Games - The Sims

Gamespot has another article in its continuing series on 'The Greatest Games of All Time'. This time they profile The Sims, the Will Wright PC classic. From the article: "While The Sims was certainly revolutionary, it wasn't simply the revolution that makes it one of the greatest games of all time. Like all truly great games, it is the timeless and continually entertaining gameplay that makes The Sims so worthwhile. And while in the years since its release there have been many more versions to choose from, there's something quite heartwarming and familiar about the original game and its very specific choices, the sublime stainless steel refrigerator, the Henry Moore-esque statue, and that handy dandy little burglar alarm."

I agree with you about the boringness of the Sims, then again: It hasn't been a big selling game for nothing; And also, it has brought games to alot of people who wouldn't normally consider playing one.

And no: As a first-person shooter-gamer: I'd rather sit at home than fight a -real- war outside(which would be equivalent to your Sims case).
