Understand that if you own The Movies and the Stunts & Effects Expansion Pack, there’s nothing here to justify buying this edition. You’ve already got what you need, so have fun. In fact, if you have The Movies but don’t have the expansion pack, you still shouldn’t buy this. Cheaper… Continue Reading »

Note to city planners everywhere. If you name your community Happydale or Utopiatown or Sunnypeacefuleternityville, you’re setting yourself up for an ironic plunge into the depths of horror…especially if it’s an underwater community.

The worldwide release of the exciting, wheel-to-wheel, single-player and… Continue Reading »
