‘Sims 3’ pack, MMO ‘Earthrise’ lead video game releases this week
New video games this week:
“The Sims 3: Outdoor Living Stuff” — All right, it’s maybe the billionth expansion pack for the “Sims” PC games, but given our Central Texas penchant for fire pits and counter-top patio grills, this one might be of special interest. This pack for “The Sims 3” includes patio furniture, outdoor electronics, “Garden Terrace” and “Sunset on the Veranda”-style pieces and outdoor casual clothing. Rated T for Teen. $20 for Windows PC and Mac.
“Earthrise.” — This new massively multiplayer online game, set in the distant future on a post-apocalyptic Earth, is about a totalitarian government and insurgent forces battling in a society where “cloning, nanotechnology and quantum engineering are part of a new reality.” Rated T for Teen. $50 plus monthly fee (to be announced), for Windows PCs.
Also out this week: “Ultimate Battle of the Sexes” (Wii), “Rock Band Country Track Pack 2” (Wii, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3), “Call of Duty: Black Ops — First Strike” (downloadable for Xbox 360, PS3, PC), “Jewel Quest Trilogy” (Wii), “Mystery P.I. — Stolen in San Francisco” (PC), “PopCap Greatest Hits” (PC), “Photo Phantasy” (Nintendo DS), “Mr. Bean” (Wii, DS), “Zombies Seeker” (DS), “Junior Brain Trainer Two” (DS).
