The Sims 2



Been playing The Sims 2 for the PSP it's a fun game about a weird town with every kind of horror aspect from Zombies, Werewolves, ghosts, and evil super villains. It is a game I can really get into and have a fun time playing and doing the missions when they come up.



The game starts out as you are driving your car trying to escape the green diamond that controls your character. Giving the indication that they want liberty from the first Sims game. Your car breaks down at a gas station and while you meet the locals your car that was in the car shop near by gets abducted and disappears possibly from aliens. So you buy a house from this girl and live there with the house maid and two ghosts. The point of the game is to learn about what is happening around the small town and do missions.



It is a lot harder then in the first Sims game, for now there is a fear, want and sanity to deal with along with the other needs such as eating and sleeping. It can be hard seeing how the wants are random and some of them you cannot accomplish without certain things. Such as Woo Hoo AKA sex! The only way you can get it is having someone as your lover and finding a double bed which all houses have except two.



At one point in the game they talk about how people die in this place either from catching on fire, starving to death, or someone removed the ladder from the pool. All common jokes of the original Sims game for those are some of the ways you can kill off your Sims.



The only thing I don't like about this game is the loading everything you do loads for a long time. And it freezes and lags like anything if I didn't know better I would think I am playing this online with AOL as my internet provider. It's a game you really need patients for if you don't have it then I recommend that you don't play this game.

Old McDonald Had A Farm

This ain't no Harvest Moon, this is a game you are the evil industrial company McDonald's. Your goal is to gain as much profit as possible while trying to keep the protesters and the Mad Cow Disease away. There isn't much to say about this game. It has it's moments where you can't help but laugh at some of the drawings, and you can kind of figure this game is made by some kind of Anti-Ronald as well as other things when I looked on their main page.


In the game you have 4 areas you need to take care of to gain profit.


The Farmlands.

The Feed Lot.

The Fast Food Restaurant.

And The McDonald's Head Quarters.

There's always ways to boost sales like bribing politicians and Health Boards, as well cheap labor and Lies!




Enemies are everyone! Please everyone so you don't get sued and go bankrupt.






Game Overs. Scary Ronald.


The main site's explanation for this game as well as other comes as quoted.
