We all know that there are many amazing games that are released ever year on the PC format but i have heard a lot about the new and upcoming Sims 2 game. Lokking at reviews and screenshots and being a Sims gamer myself i say... it rocks but do you think it will be the biggest release this year?

Rome Total War will be superior to crappy Simness.
I didn't like the RTW demo all that much myself. But as far as The Sims 2 is concerned it ranks about 20th.

Scuse me, Half Life 2!!! it's looking increasingly likely it'll be released this November, and will be vastly superior to anything EA can throw up out of their corporate, bile filled stomachs.
This time next year I expect thread telling us how "utterly cool awesome" The Sims2: Plumbing Problems expansion pack will be.

Well IF Half-Life 2 doesn't come out this year then I reckon Sims 2 will be the best selling PC Game of the year. Even if you guys think it's crap that doesn't mean other people will think it's crap too. You think the original Sims is crap and we all know how much that sold.
True.

It sold because EA shovelled out expansion pack after expansion pack to keep the damn thing in the charts. That's why I don't like the Sims, initially it was an intriguing game with some interesting idea, then it became like a virus, eating away at peoples money with promises of something new, when all it provided was something you could have gotten online for free.
Oh, and there's no "if" as far the release for HL2 goes. Sources suggest it's very close to going gold, the fact that valve have started the pre-load on steam would seem to support this.

I though the Sims was great when it came out but it got boring quickly. I got the first expansion pack for it but that got boring too. I did have great fun building guard towers around my house though. But then I got bored of that.
What's different in the Sims 2 anyway? Surely they've exhausted the whole idea by now?

I was the same. At first it was a good game, with some interesting ideas that it really couldn't sustain for long play. I eventually bored of it, did everything interesting and was left with little else to do. I did enjoy building my own house though, I even remember building one on stilts once.

Don't now. If they add enough it could be better than the orignal, just so long as they have something that gives you reason for going back. I would have still proffered Simville though, the Sims and Sim City combined. That would have better in my opinion.

Sims is a girls game.
I know at least 2 girls who play it and its the only even vagually real game they have played. (i don't count flash games as real ones)
