One of the first console games my sister and I played together. I would love to revisit this with her at some point. This game skyrocketed the series to greater heights and deserves to be preserved

This is the best of The Sims!! I own all but always go back to The Sims 2 for the relaxed entertainment of my peeps. Enjoyed watching my sim go out for a work lunch with a female co worker only to come home and get accused of cheating. Grim reaper comes knocking at the door. Should be ok right? Answer the door and BOOM you are dead! :)

When The Sims series were new, game websites had trouble to categorize it. It was such a shocking masterpiece that pushed all the boundaries that even critics thought that categorizing it as a simulation would belittle it. And yet, here we are. Sims 2 is one of the best in the series. It has many features that were dropped in the sequels that are still charming. People who tried only the fourth might never understand why we are still babbling about the previous ones. It has a interesting aspiration mechanic that is different than other versions. It also has lots of expansions and add-ons that actually make sense, unlike the current trend of minimal DLCs that we face today.

It is an updated version of the Dune II. In this game the player would have to fight for an interesting thing; the control of the spices in the galaxy. The spices control could make you the most powerful there. The player has to choose to be one of the three houses first: Atreides, Harkonnen, or Ordos. Each house has its own vice and virtue and the right selection could give the player right start to the game but he could learn as well as, later in the game with time. Once you choose a side, you to win the King’s challenge of producing the most amount of spice. It won’t be as easy as it sounds. For getting the control of the spices, the player has to fight over the other two houses by all means. Dune 2000 is done with enough of stunt and live-in scenes to pep up the theme and there is a soothing sound score to add to the overall theme. It’s a game based on the Dune series book of Frank Herbert and gives the player a real pleasure of both combat and competition.
