Students of the University of Warwick, England have named The Sims 3 as one of their favourite games of the year in their student newspaper, The Boar.

“When most people think ‘Game of the Year’, they think of high-​ac­tion shoot-​‘em-​ups like Call of Duty or Halo, but my interpretation of the title leads me down a slightly different path. Games are not just for gamers, after all, which was proven when 1.4 million people – children, adults, business men, house wives, people who don’t even own Playstations or Xboxes – bought a copy of Sims 3 in its first week of release.”
