There are more articles of the Sims 2 again. First of all, The Sims 2 has already broken its first record, by being the biggest game launch in EA history. Within the first 10 days since the release, it's sold over 1 million copies. Over 50% of that was sold in Europe. We already reported last week that the game had topped the UK charts, and sold 25% of the first 1.3 million copies (I said they sold 1.3 million copies by mistake at first, it was just 25% of that that day). The Sims 2 is obviously one of the most anticipated games of this year, and it's getting high ratings from many magazines and sites. For more information about this record, see EA's press release.

Then, other articles. More reviews, a humourous article, and an interview. Frank Laughlin pointed to an SlashDot article that mentions an interview with Will Wright on the Daily News Tribune. The big lesson to learn from that is to stop playing the game, when you're taking better care of your Sims than of yourself. But there's more (in random order):
