Are you really a gamer? Are you ready to spend hours on World of Warcraft or Counter-Strike? As for me I’m not a big fan of these games but I definitely enjoy playing life simulation games. And as you can guess my favorite one is The Sims (or also known as SimCity). The rules and terms of this strategic video game are simple. You control or create by yourself virtual lifeforms using special patterns. Well, I’m an interior designer myself probably that’s the actual reason explaining my obsession with this kind of games. You can create life spaces, organize them as you wish and keep under control all the members of the game. By the way you even can create main characters of the game choosing gender, appearance, clothing and other stuff referring to personality. So created characters simulate actual daily life and they can fall in love, get married, suffer, starve and even die. So as you can see the game is captivating and it is not surprising at all why I’m ready to waste hours instead of doing more useful things. Frankly speaking it reminds me the Tamagotchi, a digital creature you are obliged to look after, feed and care. The Tamagotchi is much more simple than the Sims but the conception is very similar. The interface, the principles are absolutely different but initial idea is almost the same.
