Graphics and replay aside, Warp is a pretty cool game much like Portal meets Splosion Man with its puzzles, warping and interesting action. There are some quirks that made the game a bit less than it could have been and I am not holding Origin issues against it as that's a totally different problem...

The Sims 3 provides gamers with a title that is more evolved and still thoroughly as addictive as its predecessors, giving gamers a greater sense of freedom and an overall refined experience.

Quick confession time, to this point in my career, I am yet to spend any real time in the virtual world of The Sims. Be it the original, sequel, myriad of expansions or My Sims offshoots, all have passed me by due to lack of appeal stemming from an early realisation I could find myself controlling...
