E3 2011: EA reveals The Sims Social for Facebook, subtly mocks FarmVille
Out soon
In a bid to appease Facebook users who are, “tired of robotic games based on agriculture”, EA has announced The Sims Social, a Facebook version of Will Wright's classic life-simulator.
EA didn't reveal much about the game, but it appears from the trailer that it'll involve either inviting Sims created by your Facebook friends into your virtual world or creating your own Sims.
The trailer implies that attractive women will invite men they have the hots for into their virtual homes, deriving some enjoyment from simulating the acts of eating, watching TV, and having sex in the shower. Anything's possible.
The Sims Social will be out on Facebook “soon”.
