Alice & Kev

I was resisting getting the Sims 3, having got enough timesinks in my life already. :)

Then I came across this blog : http://aliceandkev.wordpress.com.

This guy's experiment with taking a couple of sims and trying to apply real-life poverty & health problems has resulted in a very captivating story. By just using a relatively simple game framework and applying an expanded & implied narrative to the events, a couple of characters far more interesting than you'll find on many TV dramas have evolved.

Makes me want to get a copy and see what other surprises this game holds.

    Just read it all, he is a really good writer, nice to see he is heading into the games industry too. I wouldn't be surprised if EA and Maxis employ him!
