Slashdot: Good Games for Christmas? On the PC side, The Sims Hot Date expansion pack is pretty smooth if your idea of fun is micromanaging an armada of virtual people.
I played The Sims once. My character became so frustrated with her lack of socialization that she became suicidally depressed, stopped responding to my commands, and eventually set fire to her kitchen and burned down her entire house. I am not making this up. I see now that what she really needed was The Sims Hot Date expansion pack. Brings new meaning to the phrase “throwing technology at a social problem.”
