The Sims 3 (PC)
The Sims 3 is a strategic life simulation video game in The Sims franchise, originally created by Maxis. The Sims 3 is built upon the same concept as its predecessor. Players control their Sims in various activities and form relationships in a manner similar to real life. The Sims 3, like The Sims and The Sims 2, does not have a defined final goal; gameplay is open-ended.

EA skillfully fleshes out the formula for The Sims with its latest iteration, bringing it closer to an actual game than the PC series has been, without diminishing what makes it so broadly appealing in the first place.

The latest Sims game is also the greatest, striking a terrific balance between the fresh and the familiar.
