IKEA for The Sims

Yes it really is IKEA for The Sims and I don't know about you, but EVERY trip I make to the big yellow and blue store I see scores of lesbian ladies (on staff and in queues). Is this every Sim loving lesbian's dream come true or what! The Sims 2 IKEA Home Stuff is the latest new content for The Sims 2 and brings a selection of must-have items from IKEA to key living spaces in your Sims’ home focused on the bedroom, the living room and the home office.

Now you can give your Sims’ home a makeover with new furniture and décor based on stylish designs by IKEA! The Sims 2 IKEA Home Stuff Pack ships to retailers everywhere on June 23 in North America, June 27 in Europe and June 20 across the Asia-Pacific regions.

On a side note if you're a parent or new to IKEA, check out the Mombian vlog over at AfterEllen as they've done a special on IKEA for kids (real IKEA, not Simming), cool stuff.

LostWinds WiiWare title

Every now and again a game comes along and you think "Wow, that looks nice". LostWinds - just released for WiiWare in the US - is one such game. Described as "an enchanting adventure bursting with new gameplay ideas that embrace the innovative controller of the Wii", LostWinds seems to be a surefire hit, if a little short (reportedly around 3 hours).

Older gamers will probably be fairly taken aback when they see the name David Braben attached to this title. LostWinds was developed by Braben's company 'Frontier Developments'. Game geeks may automatically know Braben's name due to a little title called Elite that released way back in 1984 (and it was awesome!).

We haven't played LostWinds yet (we're trying to arrange a review), but our good pal Michael over at BrainyGamer has and he thinks it's pretty darn sweet. LostWinds is out now in the US, other regions TBA.

           

Dark Age of Camelot MMORPG

We bang on about console games all the time here at the LG, so we thought we'd do something for all those PC gamers out there. Let's take a look at a very cool MMORPG in the form of Dark Age of Camelot. Got your attention with the Camelot thing right? I mean who doesn't love Arthurian legends!

Dark Age of Camelot released back in 2001, but it's kept up to date with loads of new adventures and add-ons ever since. If you're into PvE or PvP gameplay styles and you haven't had a chance to check this out, why not give it a try? We're informed it's heaps of fun and you can get a 14 day free trial at the official website. Now, I'm off to read The Lady of Shallot.

Episode Eighteen of Gay Girls Who Game (thanks to AfterEllen.com and LesbianGamers.com) features reviews of Wii Fit [unsurprisingly] on the Nintendo Wii and Professor Layton and the Curious Village on the Nintendo DS. There's also something about Dungeon's & Dragons and Callisto threesomes!

Without further ado you can catch Episode Eighteen of Gay Girls Who Game HERE.

           

Microsoft's My Lips and other news

As you may or may not be aware it is Microsoft Gamerday 2008 in San Fransisco and there are a few things coming to light we thought you should know about. Sadly one of them isn't the Microsoft's Lips or My Lips device. The device was said to be unveiled at the event, but didn't appear (because they're keeping it for E3 along with the Xiimote / Newton - assuming they exist).

My Lips is said to be a voice input device for Xbox 360. We've got no idea if it's true, given the Xbox 360 headset is a voice input device. Other things coming out of the event... Gears of War 2 will feature a 'romantic storyline' and no female playables were mentioned. Viva Pinata 2 is due out in November and looks cute (VP is also out soon for DS). Left for Dead (the upcoming zombie title) looks awesome and has a female playable character! Huzzah!

           

Lesbian Geek site issues

Just to let people know we are aware of the site issues we're having at Lesbian Geek at present. The people at WebCity here in Australia are looking into it as it seems to be an issue at their end of things. We're not sure how long it will take till the site is back to normal, given we've just read a whole heap of people really slating the WebCity service. I guess we'll see how long it takes them to fix the issue won't we.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Blood Ties the game

Came across this little title and thought you all might be interested. Yes apparently it's Blood Ties the PC game, a little downloadable title. Hopefully you'll have more luck than we did when you download the trial, since we didn't even get to play it before it removed the 60 minute play time in about 12 seconds.

Should someone brave the download and actually get Blood Ties the video game to work, please pop into the comments just what you thought of it... we would be 'eternally' grateful as ole Henry Fitzroy might say. We would have given you a little review of it, but $20 is a little bit much. Good luck with downloading that demo!
