Game Review: The Sims 3 Supernatural

If you didn't know I don't play many video games, but a few ones catch my attention. Since I was little I enjoyed the sims games. Not sim city or any of those, but The Sims. I played the original series and continued to play The Sims 3. I don't play as much as I use to and there are some times about the modern games that I don't like, but overall I still enjoy it.

I was slightly excited for the latest expansion pack Supernatural. I loved the original sims similar expansion pack called Making Magic. Unlike that one you have a lot of different new... races I'll call them that you have never been able to be before. You can be a witch, vampire, werewolf, fairy, ghost and genie. There are also zombies, but you don't like as a zombie just sims become zombies at night.

As usual there are a lot more items you get, looks, abilities and more to add. From what I have seen you have more with fairies and witches then the others. I have not played all of the races, but from what I have been seeing there are obvious on which races are better to play then others. I think EA & Maxis figured out which ones people really wanted and added the others for something new.

My current sim is a fairy and it seems like you can use magic, fly and other fun things. You live in a house, but there are fairy houses that you're sim can interact with as a fairy, but you do not see anything.

Overall, the game is fun to play if you enjoy the sims. If you aren't a fan and just want to buy it because it's has a horror theme, don't waste your money. While I love the games and they are something I can play with little thought or effort, but if you do not like them it's not a game for you.

I give the game 3 stars out of 5. While it's fun it's nothing special or anything you have to have and play.

The Sims 3 Supernatural

If there is one game I play and sometimes play too much is The Sims. I started playing these games back in the... mid 90s with the original Sims and expansion packs. One of my favorites other than Pets was Making Magic. This game you were basically a witch and had a separate world to visit and all of that. I enjoyed it and was wondering if they ever were going to do another one for the newest sims.

I guess someone bugged them enough or with all the supernatural themed TV shows and movie out. So we have The Sims 3 Supernatural. It looks like you can be a werewolf, vampire, a witch, a fairy and a few others that sounds awesome, but are spells you put rather than being the actual creature i.e. zombies.... aww I wanted to make a zombie sims and control them.

So this is your basic expansion pack which hopefully will not disappoint. Here's the announcement trailer.




It comes out in September 2012 and you can pre-order now to get limited edition items.
