The Sims, for all its frustrations, highs and lows, is still -- gulp -- better than your average working day in real life, and a fun experiment in psychology, love and relationships. Will Wright has once again changed the playing field, and hopefully the rest of the world will soon follow. Now if you'll excuse me, I want to find out why an established woman on a career track towards becoming Mayor of SimCity has just found it necessary to pee on the living room floor.

Even with all of its problems, EverQuest is still a lot of fun and its extremely addictive. Just be prepared to be patient with EverQuest in its infancy because you will invariably get frustrated, fed-up and pissed-off at the game ... but I can guarantee that you'll be back on the server within two days going at it again.
