The Sims
Looking for something funny to see this weekend? Check out Meet The Parents. This was one of the funniest comedies I've seen in a while, and it's not nearly as raunchy as There's Something About Mary. The on-screen chemistry and comedic timing between Robert DeNiro and Ben Stiller is great, there are a few scenes where I simply couldn't stop laughing, the first night at the dinner table is a classic... My copy of The Sims came last night. I got it for free from the PepsiStuff promotion. What an original and addictive game! It's like nothing I've ever played before, I wasted two and half hours last night, just teaching my Sims some skills, so they could get better jobs, and buy more furniture. I get the impression that I haven't even scratched the surface of this game, much less all of the content that comes in the add-on pack. My only gripe is that the game isn't really set up for multiple players without that add-on pack. Otherwise, if you want to let a friend play, they wind up messing up your characters that you've worked on. Time to go to Software, Etc...
