Sim Animals was just announced.

I really wnat to know more about Mirrors Edge...And the quality of that video is horrible for me.

''Sims 3 will have the most complex characters ever put into a video game. These have their own personalities. Just like real life one thing happens on one side of town that impacts the other side of town.''

Sounds Nice (I'm using Kotaku)

'''Graphics look pretty amazing, as does the level of depth. They're showing a sim jogging through a town filled with sims. They're talking to each other, calling each other on cell phones, partying at a concert'''
