I have taken a short break from my retro gaming and Assassins Creed 2 and such to check the first expansion to The Sims 3.
And man was I surprised. The thing costs $40! For an expansion, and not a huge one at that, I think that is ludicrous. I really wonder how these prices will affect sales, not to mention the overpriced DLC for the game.
I made a video review of the game for my weekly "show", mainly to get the word out about the shortcomings of such an expensive add on. I collect Maxis games and always will, but if it weren't for that...
Here's the review:

What it boils down to us that it does add some significantly different gameplay in the adventure/puzzle vein and really gives you a new incentive to play the game. But it doesn't give you much else as far as content, and I think that is unforgivable for the most expensive expansion in recent memory.
Anyone else have any comments? I know the game doesn't get much attention here normally...
