This is a short review of The Sims 3 by EA and "The Sims" Division. I have put together an abbreviated review (not covering ALL aspects) focusing on the top 5 reasons to buy The Sims 3 - if you've played the earlier games and didn't like them or just don't know much about it, this will give you my reasons to go and give this one a shot. Though in all fairness, I only list pros here - there are certainly cons. Look me up on The Sims Exchange under phreakindee. Predecessor to my Lazy Game Reviews I've been having people ask what computer specs I used to record this, and they are as follows: AMD Athlon X2 4600+ 512MB nVidia GeForce 8800GT 2GB DDR-800 RAM Windows XP SP3
