Finally a sign of life from EA Games. But not a good one. The worst nightmare of Sims addicts all over the globe came true.

The best-selling game will not ship until June 2! It was really about time to receive this information. I don’t understand why EA couldn’t inform the huge fan community earlier.

But anyway, it’s the way it is, we still have to wait. And i was wrong when i stated that The Sims 3 wouldn’t be late. Sorry for that.

OK, just mark June 2 in your calendar and look forward to “Dreams of Luisa 6 – The Elfish Spell”, surely coming sooner than June :-)

Have a look in the full post, there is a new Sims 3 Trailer…

Here it is, yet another (relatively) new official The Sims 3 trailer.

It’s a devious one that gives us a good view into the final game, its animations, sounds and everything.

The clip is also a good demonstration on machinima and storytelling: A clever choreography, smart cuts and a simple but funny story that needs no words to be told, no cliffhangers and an unexpected ending.

I like it:

I think The Sims 3 will be a cool game though it will be a copy protected and it’s hard to spot the differences to The Sims 2 on the first view.

Though the next Tomb Raider game will be published in about 4 weeks Crystal Dynamics released yet another Trailer-Movie, a so-called vignette.

I have seen all of the many Tomb Raider Underworld trailers and also posted a handful of them here on the site and it’s clear that this game will be the best release this year – for me personally. Really, it wasn’t a very interesting year for a video gamer. Even Spore was and is an absolute disappointment.

So i won’t wait until Christmas but buy it on the first day. When the game looks only half way so great like in those movies, when it’s only half that smooth and exciting, i will be satisfied.

You can watch the new vignette right here in the full post…

Most of my long time readers may already know – or at least assume – that i am a big, no, a very huge fan of the Tomb Raider video games (TR1, TR3, Legend, Anniversary) and the first movie.

So i’m sorry for being a little late with this post! It’s because i have a new phone number and Lara couldn’t call me sooner…

No, jokes aside. Lara naturally follows me at twitter but i was just too busy (=lazy) to post the new and official Tomb Raider Underworld Video Trailer which was released a few days ago.

So finally here it is, the stunning video clip that shows how Lara detonates her own mansion for unknown reasons. We only can see that some really strange things happened inside the old building before the fire:

Well, i’m sure i will find out anything about Lady Lara Croft’s motivation to destroy the wonderful house – in November. Then she’ll take me to another exciting horror trip into the underworld!

I also have another clip here that gives a better behind-the-scenes view…
