The Sims 3
I have my PSP for gaming purposes yet I am still hoping to find some good, if not great, portable games for my mobile. Asphalt 4: Elite Racing was the first game I played on my mobile but pretty soon, I moved to Bejeweled. And now, The Sims 3. At 400 X 240, it seems a little bit difficult to find the right games for Samsung Omnia. Most games suffer poor graphics on Samsung Omnia and I wonder if it has something to do with not having a dedicated graphic memory. On the other hand, HTC Diamond, which has always been compared to Samsung Omnia and has its own dedicated graphic memory, does not perform any better than Samsung Omnia.

Preview
I believe that most people have already known what The Sims does. You control a person, called Sims, in a simulation environment. You can choose from the hair style to the colour of the shoes. Each Sims has its own personality and characters. It will be up to you on how you control your Sims to interact with other Sims in the neighbourhood. On the other hand, the tasks or wish list will depend on the type of personality of your Sims whom you have chosen during the creation of your Sims. So, no more Mr. Nice Guy, if you like and create a Sims jerk, havocking the neighbourhood.

I have been playing UEFA Champions League 2000 these few days. As usual, I started off by playing the lowest division in English Premier League. I am managing team Scarborough now. The players have average ratings of 20 out of 100. Well, that is still acceptable since every other club in the lowest division is about the same. Things will get tougher if I manage to move up to higher division.

Normally, I will try to buy some new players with higher ratings but cheap while selling off some lower rating players. I hope that will maintain the club’s performance when moving up to higher division. So far, I have played about 18 games and in second position. Only the top club in the division will be promoted to higher division. I will be disappointed if I lose out because it will take me another whole season to get to higher division.

The game needs to have the CD in the drive in order to play. Thus, I created an image out of it and made a virtual drive everytime I want to play. The total image size is only about 150MB and that is the space for a game made eight years ago. Nowadays, it is amazing that a normal game easily takes up to a full DVD space which is about 4GB.

God of War, what a nice name for a game. The name sounds so aggressive that I was hoping to get a good fight in it. Well, it did not disappoint me though. I started the game in Normal Mode and finished in less than a week with an average 40 minutes of playing time a day. As stated in many game reviews’ websites, God of War is rather short.

Gameplay
The first video explains about Kratos. As God of War starts, Kratos is soon greeted by a giant boss and will have anyone controlling Kratos, pressing hard on the PSP buttons. When playing God of War in Normal Mode, I will usually charge on the enemies. However, this does not work in God Mode. Every boss has its weaknesses and methods to avoid being hit and that has to be figured out when playing God Mode to keep Kratos alive.

In order to upgrade the weapons and magic, Kratos needs to collect red orbs. Breaking boxes, vases or statues as well as killing the enemies gives Kratos the red orbs. Green orbs restore Kratos’ life bar while blue orbs increase Kratos’ magic bar. All colours of orbs can usually be found in chests. There are also Gordon eyes to extend the life bar and Phoenix feathers to extend the magic bar. 70% into the game, I reckon that you will manage to collect all Gordon eyes, Phoenix feathers as well as upgraded all the weapons and magic.

As the game is 18+, there are some sexy mini games and videos throughout God of War. So, parents, be warned.
