Thinking of getting a 3DS? Joystick Division runs down all the details on the Nintendo 3DS hardware and launch software in anticipation of its American release this Sunday.

"The Sims 3 looks to be in every way an expansion of whatÂ’s come before, maintaining the same depth while streamlining - not simplifying - the rules a bit to better create the impression of leading an artificial life. While our brief demo did open with the statement that Maxis and publisher Electronic Arts are dedicated to delivering a more newcomer-friendly experience this time around, the material we saw told a far different story."

E3 2008 provided Gamespot with a trailer showing a Sim going about his business. While at first it appears to be gameplay from "The Sims 2", seconds later, a new and colorful world appears, showing the true content of the incoming "Sims 3".

The link for the trailer isn't provided, but Gamespot made a great description, so you can imagine how it is.
