In the office this week everyone will not stop talking about the release's of 2 legendary franchises in the gaming industry which are guaranteed to take over your summer.

Sims 3:

The Sims 3 is one of the most highly anticipated games of the year. By now, the series has picked up millions of fans with its addictive and open-ended simulations of the lives of little computer people, and the next game in the series will give you even more ways to mess with those little computer lives. Beyond burning them to death in kitchen fires, and breaking their hearts by having someone else make out with their loved ones right in front of them, The Sims 3 will let you put your sims in their very own movie. You can capture that movie using in-game tools and then upload it to the Exchange to share, edit, and wipe-transition the living daylights out of it. You also have the ability to let your little sims persons go for a walk around the neighborhood, call a friend on their mobile phone and go shopping.

We're so excited about the new Sims we've put the trailer up for all to see.

Many Call of Duty fans were upset that developers, Treyarch were going back to the WWII format, and felt that that era has been done to death, but if you like all the latest weapons, then you will still be seething that a second Modern Warfare was not explored.

It seems that 'Activision-Blizzard' have buckled under the pressure, and have announced that they are now working on Call of Duty 6 Modern Warfare 2, and is scheduled to launch in fall 2009. Now that 'Activision-Blizzard' is back at the helm, we can expect a truly awesome sequel to a truly awesome game. And because we don't like to be bias here at Lad's page, here's the trailer for CoD 6:
