The Sims 2 announced

**endersgame21** · May 5th, 2003, 05:11 PM

Electronic Arts today announced that The Sims(TM) 2, the next generation of the #1 PC game of all time, is in development at the company's Walnut Creek-based Maxis(TM) studio. For the first time, players control their Sims over an entire lifetime. Every choice that is made has a relevant and dramatic effect on the life of a Sim. More life-like Sims, all-new gameplay, and the ground-breaking addition of genetics, with the DNA of Sims passed down through generations gives players a more vivid, realistic, and in-depth Sims experience. All of this takes place in a new amazingly life-like 3-D world. The Sims 2 will be unveiled to industry insiders on May 13th at the Electronic Entertainment Exposition in Los Angeles and is scheduled to ship in early 2004.

"The Sims, themselves, always have been the most interesting part of the game experience for me. Giving them DNA makes them even more life-like and increases the personal connection between players and their Sims," said Will Wright, Chief Game Designer at EA's Maxis Studio, "The strategy of playing Sims across a lifetime and experiencing their emergent traits and behaviors will give players a deeper and more realistic experience."

Well, actually a lot of people here use themessage icons still. Have you ever seen the bouncing frog. Just browse throught the sexy spam thread or take a look at Jorge's Birthday thread and you will see plenty of people using them. But I guess there isn't a lot of people that use it in every post.
