So this is my very first video ever posted on GameSpot and the beginning of a series of The Sims 2 and expansion pack videos.

I started playing The Sims 2 in 2004 and felt it might be a good idea to "start all over" and hopefully share some fond memories with the millions of Sims 2 fans out there.

After just over a month on-line, the reviews so far have been pretty good and has given me some encouragement to continue.

On Wednesday 29 November 2006, I purchased The Guild 2.

After everything I have seen and read about the game here on GameSpot, I am scared - very scared!

Yesterday, 28 November 2006, I purchased Sid Meier's Railroads.

I have never owned any of the so-called "Tycoon" genre games and am actually quite looking forward to give this one a go, to see what everyone was talking about.

Yesterday, 22 November 2006, I eventually got hold of a copy of Ceasar IV at our local store.

I can't remember how many hours I spent with Caesar III and really loved the game, so I am very keen to get started with what I believe to be a 3D remake to a large degree.

Yesterday, 22 November 2006, I made sure I kept my Sims 2 collection up to date by picking up a copy of The Sims 2: Happy Holiday Stuff at the local store.

I guess I am a bit of a nostalgic, since from a pure value point of view, these "Stuff" packages released for Sims 2 by EA lately are probably somewhat "suspect", but then again, they do have some good quality content on them.

Yesterday, 08 November 2006, I purchased The Sims 2: Pets.

Call me sentimental, but I just had to have this latest expansion pack for The Sims 2, since I already have all the others in my collection and can't wait to see what the guys at Maxis came up with this time.

Today, 28 September 2006, I purchased Dungeon Siege II: Broken World.

This was mostly a result of having purchased Dungeon Siege II, and I decided to get the expansion while I was at it.

It looks like I am well and truly back into the RPG genre!
