A mission-based Sims game was just what consoles needed. Everyone should experience this game and the one that came before it. They were very fun titles. This is a side-series (console Sims) that was never the same when The Sims 2 came out.

Les Sims : Permis de sortir est le deuxième jeu de la série à sortir sur console, mais il n’a jamais connu de déclinaison PC, ce qui en fait un parfait candidat pour le projet GoG Dreamlist. S’il est possible de créer sa propre famille de Sims dans un mode annexe, en partie lié à l’aventure principale, le jeu se concentre surtout sur la vie d’un seul Sims dans un mode Histoire qui le mènera à prendre sa vie en main, gravir les échelons promotions après promotion, pour finalement se venger de l’égoïste Christophe Rapat-Sité qui reprend tout ce qu’il avait donné aux différents Sims de la ville. Si le jeu n’est pas exempt de défauts (IA qui a du mal à trouver un chemin optimal, actions particulièrement longues au vu du défilement du temps), il reste bien fun et permet, par le biais d’objectif à remplir au sein de chaque maison et vis-à-vis de chaque personnage, de débloquer toujours plus d’objets, de véhicules et d’interactions. Les codes de triches sont aussi très pratiques et simples à utiliser, il suffit d’invoquer un nain de jardin. Voir le titre revenir et surtout arriver pour la première fois sur PC serait une très bonne chose.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.
