EA recently released their third quarter fiscal 2007 financial results, and with the usual conference call was organised.

Written on Thursday 8 February 2007 at 01:15 by ChEeTaH - 3 comments.

A little while ago Senior Producer of the Sims 2 Sam Player sent out an e-mail giving an update on the status of Seasons, the upcoming fifth expansion pack for the Sims 2. These producer e-mails have been around since before The Sims 2 was released, and after skipping any for Pets they're back again. Sam mentions the fan event back in December last year, and he addresses the key features of the expansion pack. He names the possible heat strokes and freezing to death, as well as custom content features for the pack. Little touches make the game complete, including the pool upgrades, the new careers and the ability to set unique hairstyles for each outfit type. Leftovers get a quick mention too, as well as the recently posted trailer. Sam doesn't really mention anything completely new, though he does confirm the 27 February release date. Read on for the entire e-mail. Read More!

Once the game is out there will be two more downloads: a swingset and a garden trellis at Best Buy and Target respectively. For more information head on over to the pre-order page on the official site. In the UK only the Swing set is available as far as known now, through Game.

Written on Sunday 4 February 2007 at 18:57 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Every expansion pack has its own issues during the development process. Odd things can happen when things don't work as they should, and for the Pets PC expansion pack that was no different. Late last year Maxis already revealed a few bloopers on the official site, and recently they've added two more pictures. You can see some big heads and a strange family tree, but there's also a short video showing some real good shoveling. Go to the bloopers page to see them all, including the previous Pets bloopers.
