Just imagine the scene- 10 completely random PS2 owners selected from the thousands of entries placed in a virtual online house for 10 weeks. Each contestant controls their character in the house in a fashion similar to looking after a Tamagotchi, making sure they don't starve to death or waste their muscles away sitting in the big beanbag 24/7. Each contestant has an option menu whereby they can interact with other contestants, choosing to either gossip about them or make friends with them.
Certain tasks are set each week as is the case in Big Brother and on successful completion the contestants can chose their shopping list with their newly acquired virtual money. When it comes to voting time, each contestant nominates who they want to leave and other onlooking gamers vote on whether they agree with the house or not.
A very demanding gaming idea, but with a lucrative prize, it could be a very rewarding experience sometime in the not-too-distant future.

You can build your own restaurants and bars in the sims online. The game will probably have one of the biggest on-line communities for any game when its released, the only thing is you have to pay a monthly subcription.

You can build your own restaurants and bars in the sims online. The game will probably have one of the biggest on-line communities for any game when its released, the only thing is you have to pay a monthly subcription.

It depends on which game EA would convert, if the company is planning to convert the sims that is.
If its just the origanal sims then no it wont be able to be played on-line. It would still be possible to swap objects and user created sims, but you wouldn't be able to use your sims to chat to other people on the net.

Oh My God

There have already been two spin off games for big brother 1 and 2 on the PC, and they where complete pants. I haven't played them myself, but a PC games magazine which I read reviewed them, and they both got the scores of 4% and 3%. They where cash ins of corse.
And Hurcules is right, the sims plays like an unofficial game of big brother. You can create a family, put them in a house and watch them interact with each other. It does have a lack of tasks though, so it can sometimes become a bit boring. Still its one of the best life simulators out there at the moment.
