Games for Windows magazine newest cover features a Sims 3 first look exclusive. The game will now include "a wide-open, constantly changing neighborhood -- a much bigger sandbox, if you will, and a much more complex simulation" according to 1up. They also referecne the image to the right saying "the town and park you see on the cover image to the right exist in the same seamless space as your Sims' household, and
what you do outside your home now matters as much as what you do within." This is a really interesting development in my opinion and might bring in a lot of players who hadn't like The Sims in the past and also those who haven't even played The Sims before. We may be in for even more information on March 19th as well according to The Sims 3 teaser site, so stay connected with Console Central for the latest updates.
Jam over at Frag Dolls got an exclusive interview with Randy Pitchford the President of Gearbox Software, the developer of the Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway for publisher Ubisoft. She gets some hands on time with the third installment of the first person shooter series and some insight from Mr. Pitchford. They talk about how the game relates to factual events like the largest airborne invasion in world history. From what I've seen from the video, the game looks very promising. It is the first "next-gen" game and utilizes the Unreal Engine 3 technology, which will see in the Frag Dolls interview is gorgeous. The game will be releasing around April 2008.
