World of World of Warcraft

World of Warcraft meets The Sims.

It was bound to happen. :P

Fable II seems to be the next MMOPRG Sims meets Baldur's gate ala Everquest where you don't need to have relationships in the real world, because you maintain them all in your own fantasy world. I watched the Peter Molyneux E3 demo where his player went to his "house" where his "wife" and "kid" were, and some other player he brought with him started chatting up his "wife". Talk about pressure, you need to play so you don't lose your virtual wife to some masher, but if you play too much you lose your real life relationships because your gaming too much. I liked this review of it. So, it's really a Sims meets Baldur's gate ala Everquest with "Puppy Love" (the old Mac version).

Whatever happened to the game you can play (and win) for a couple spare hours when you get home from work, or on a Saturday afternoon once the chores are done?
