Playing The Sims Medieval is like looking at your neighbour's holiday slides: you're hearing about someone else's grand adventure rather than having one of your...
The original The Sims brought out a frightening dark side in me, every time I picked up the game. Everything would be fine for an hour or so, as I was happily guiding and watching my virtual people. But then, inevitably, Something Bad would happen,...
As a longtime reviewer and fan of The Sims franchise, I’ve played just about every incarnation of the series and enjoyed most of its many expansions. Even as much as I love The Sims, though, even I have to admit that I was beginning to wonder if...
The fans have been howling for this one, and lo, their prayers have been answered: the deranged chaos of The Sims has been picked up and plonked down in the middle of Ye Olde Sunset Valley. Verily, The Sims Medieval is upon us, a game where the...
Once you have got past this initial teething problem though, The Sims Medieval starts to open up a little. The main aim of the game is to build a kingdom and manage it in the way you see fit. You will take on a number of...

With how much EA is known for whoring out its Sims franchise with expansion packs and re-releases, it wouldn’t be a stretch to assume The Sims Medieval is just The Sims 3: Castles Edition. But if you make that assumption, you’re going to...
The Sims Medieval has successfully breathed new life into a franchise that was getting pretty stale. The Medieval setting combined with the streamlined gameplay and quests create an evolved Sims experience that feels deeper and much more fun than any...
There's a danger that Sims Medieval falls a bit between two ducking stools. On the one hand, it's too RPG-lite for avid role-players; on the other, traditional Sims fans might find the highly structured kingdom building and questing all too...
Plongés dans un univers moyenâgeux, les Sims gagnent en intérêt grâce à des objectifs bien précis organisés sous forme de quêtes et de gestion d'un royaume entier. Complet et amusant, le jeu garde...
