A friend of mine asked me the other day: "You've played so many games in your life and yet you have never played The Sims. Why is that."

It's an understandable question for someone who's played video games most of his life. My answer to such a question is pretty darn simple. I never relished the idea of playing a game that simulates boring, everyday life. Getting away from these tedious aspects of life is one of the reasons why I play games and The Sims (including The Sims 2 & 3) just don't rock my boat.

Sorry.
