We’re happy to reveal the box art for The Sims 3 World Adventures and two new screenshots showing a close call with a fire trap and an angry mummy intent on cursing your Sim in Egypt, one of three locations your Sims can venture to in the game. The Sims 3 World Adventures expansion pack will ship on November 17, 2009 for the PC and MAC.
News got out this week that several people at Maxis were laid off last Wednesday, in order to "focus the business" and to "focus Maxis." While the studio will remain committed to the Spore franchise - with Spore Hero and Spore Hero Arena as main upcoming games - they will have to move on with less people on the team. An EA spokesperson says this is more or less natural fluctuation of a games studio's size, which depends on business conditions. All layoffs are said to have taken place at the Emeryville based headquarters of Maxis.
We've just dropped the price for The Sims 3 on the iPhone & iPod touch to $6.99. Be sure to download the game from the App Store. Warning...it's very addicting!

Furthermore browsing through Sporepedia has been improved, allowing for more precize filters and sorting methods. Check out the Sporepedia for more.
DeKDeS, one of the greatest creators in the Spore community, has been busy lately rendering creatures from the Spore game. He has now created the Blorange creature (captain), made by me. It's stunning, you can comment on the forums! Click on the image to go to the topic!
I've been geeking out lately with Doctor Who and Torchwood. I didn't have inspiration to create items in Spore for a long time. But yesterday after watching Doctor Who, I finally got back into Spore and created TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimensions In Space) as a space ship and as a city hall for my first game since I installed Galactic Adventures.
