EA lately announced that The Sims 3 will be released on the game consoles in 2010.
EA confirmed that the game will be released on the Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS and the Playstation 3 this autumn.

The new versions for the consoles will include all-new features such as the “Karma Powers”. The Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 versions will get an online exchange system in which you can download and share content with other players. The Wii version will include a “Life Moments” multiplayer mode which helps you to get familiar with your town and to search for the hidden secrets. On the Nintendo DS players can build their own houses and customize every object. With the stylus players will be able to make the Sims’ facial features and dress them properly.

An EA producer said: “This is the best console and handheld game we have known from The Sims. Building on the unique traits system, living open neighborhood, lifetime wishes, and endless customization options, we’ve tailored each platform of The Sims 3 with exclusive features to allow for even more control, creativity, and connectivity.”

Prince of Persia should resume providing what the classic “Sands of Time” (2003) has shown us 7 years ago. This game had a mysterious, fairy-like atmosphere, combined with some sword fighting. But the greatest asset of course, was that you could find sand everywhere throughout the game. Here you could find the time to accelerate, stop, rewind and much more. The Forgotten Sands is a direct sequel to address that.

The game also comes simultaneously with the film on Prince of Persia and secretly is surely a bit sad again. Movie games are known of their no so best quality. Ubisoft, however, assures us that the game will not be linked with the film, we will see. The screens are certainly positive.

According to Michael Gluck, programmer at developer Crytek, Crytek will release Crysis 2 as a new graphic standard on the PlayStation 3. “Other games will have trouble exceeding that new standard”, according to Gluck.

“On every new generation of games on the PlayStation 3, about once per two years, we see that the games improve in quality. Something that we especially see in the graphics”, tells Gluck opposite the magazine Play. I think that we will see some asthonishing graphics this summer if we have to believe the programmer at Crytek.

“We already tried to make the best games possible for the PS3, and now with Crysis 2 we certainly made a standard for all the PS3 developers.” A possible continuation on Crysis 2 will not mean a new standard according to Gluck. Crysis 3 will get only small improvements in comparison with the second part.

More interaction

“It is very unlikely that we will see large improvements in the graphics, because we are not trying to replace graphic parts but we will make improvements on the previous engine”, he said. “Thus you have to expect stronger game-elements, physics effects and more interaction, but the graphic quality won’t become much higher.”

Crysis 2 was revealed this week official by Crytek during an event on Tim Square in New York. The game will hit the stores later this year, probably in the summer, and it comes to the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and the pc. We gathered some screenshots of the new Crysis 2 game:
