Review: The Sims 3 Island Paradise (PC)

Crystal-clear waters, beautiful beaches and warm and super sandy beaches. Just another day living in a tropical paradise. But this isn't a typical day for Sims 3 gamers, as The Sims 3 Island Paradise introduces a whole new boatload of gameplay features that makes this more than just the usual Sims 3 expansion. From running a resort, to decking out a houseboat and sailing around isles-a-plenty, to exploring the mysteries under the sea, Island Paradise has more gameplay possibilities than the normal expansion pack.

And what an amazing setting for the new gameplay. Escape the Sims suburbia and cityscapes for the sunny and sandy realm of Isla Paradiso, where every day is a vacation. Unlike the regular Joe working stiff, however, Sims 3 gamers can stay for as long as they want, and gamers will definitely want to, with so many things to enjoy.

Review: The Sims 3 University Life (PC)

That Steely Dan song proclaimed you could never go back to your old school, but the Sims have done just that in The Sims 3: University Life.

For the Sims 2, gamers could take their Sims to college. And now Sims 3 gamers can do the same, by sending off their Sims to school for a degree and experience college life, including the whole dorm experience, in a college campus addition to the Sims 3 realm.

Obviously the main focus is studying and earning one of six Sims degrees, but what would college life be without the social scene? University Life has that covered.

In the town of Moonlight Falls, gamers get their chance to transform into their own supernatural citizen, from witches and wizards to werewolves, vampires and fairies.
