Hey there. Last time I talked about different Blog platforms, out of which I liked Blogger and Tumblr the most. SquareSpace was also one of my faves, but it was a paid platform, so it lost out in the competition. I believe for $8/a month, you should be able to get "content", such as powerful graphics and videos, not just a platform - but that's just my humble opinion!

 

Moving on to today's topic, Virtual Worlds.

 

I don't know about you, but there's something captivating about being enthralled into a virtual space of wealth, beauty, and wishes-come-true. I have discovered 5 that are out there, my favorite being Sims 3. They are:

1.SIMS 3. It costs anywhere from $30-$60 and there's XBox and PC versions available for immediate download. I have both.

You might know Sims from downloading it on your iPhone/iTouch, but Sims are quite a journey! It's not fast paced, the world of Sims is whatever you create or whatever your alter ego desires to be. You can create a family/household, get married, have kids, and even have them grow up right away. You can have unlimited wealth. You can travel the world. You can learn "skills", such as cooking, fishing, and more. You can encounter death, Grim Reaper, vampires and ghosts. And, with "Medieval" version almost here, (you can pre-order it and get a free "Stuff's pack"), it's a make-me-happy game! One factor you should be aware of though, is Sims is not a social platform, so you don't get to meet "real" people - which makes it fairly safe for your kids to play!

2.SECOND LIFE. Oh.My.Gosh.
