The original Sim City was awesome as was Sim Ant and Sim Farm. The Sims 2 is still a game that has lasting appeal. Look at how many non-gamers it drew in (as in 2 and the original). It was the Wii of its time.
Also, Will Wright appears to have outdone himself completely in
Spore.
It's due out next month. Here are some gameplay videos:
