Each Winter, the United States Congress adjourns through the end of the year. Before that recess occurs, there’s usually a flurry of legislative activity happening to squeeze it in before the break, during which time nothing gets done. This week, there has been a curious amount of activity coming out of Google at a time when many companies are in holiday mode. And guess what? It’s the same idea.

Yesterday I was writing about the new Audi R8 sports car that’s borrowed at least a few attributes from the Lamborghini Gallardo. I figured since I brought up the subject that I may as well present you with a video of that very car, and specifically in this case we are putting the spotlight on the 2010 Lambo Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder as it blazes through Australia’s Canary Islands.
Broadband TVs to Tap the Net
A recession isn’t the best time to splurge on new innovations but players in the television industry aren’t pulling back, despite their need to control costs. TV makers like Sony (SNE), Samsung, and LG have long been obsessed with improving picture quality and expanding screen sizes. When it comes to technology, the competition is certainly not over; companies continue to launch new features.
But with the global recession driving more consumers to lesser-known makers of inexpensive TVs like Vizio, the big-name electronics companies are increasingly focusing their innovation on trying to make TVs the center piece of viewing, listening, and reading all sorts of content. For instance, one big push by TV manufacturers this year is for so-called broadband TVs that let people tap the Net for everything from movies to friends’ photos and up-to-date stock prices. For more on the latest TVs and what they can do in the Internet age, click on.

With an immense following and many years of success, The Sims has considerable renown in the genre of social simulation. Much of its popularity is owed to an excellent design, which is not only crafted with outstanding attention to detail, but also goes the extra mile to maintain a genuinely fun atmosphere. The ignorant bystander might find your average play session quite befuddling, and wonder about the strange language the characters seem to be babbling in. Yet as any Sims fan will attest, The Sims is a game that must be played in order to be appreciated.
Continuing the success of the latest version, The Sims 3: World Adventures takes players into further wacky escapades. In true Sims fashion, the outing knocks on cheesy, stereotyped elements of familiar locations – specifically, players will find themselves in France, China, and Egypt. There was a large opportunity here for the developers to introduce educational content to the players, many of whom will be young people who know precious little of world culture. Admittedly, The Sims has always placed fun above authenticity, so most of each region’s activities seem like something out of a Scooby-Doo cartoon.
That being said, much of the new content has been implemented very efficiently. As with previous Sims expansions, there is a nice assortment of trinkets to collect and exotic garments to acquire. However, it is really the addition of new gameplay elements that makes World Adventures shine. Players can develop skills with nectar-production, photography, and even martial arts. Dedicated martial artists can not only enjoy the predictable benefits of their hard work, but learn how to execute a Mortal Kombat-esque teleportation move, as well. Fans of mummy movies will find the tomb exploration quite enjoyable, as there’s some very nice puzzle-solving to be done. The adventures also carry a bit of substance, as they allow you to decorate the home with various souvenirs pertaining to your exploits – not unlike the trophies of Fable 2. It seems evident that the developers looked at many films and games in their search for source material.
Audio is as strong in World Adventures as it has been since the original release of The Sims 3. Of particular note is the music, a somewhat cheap but effective device, which helps drive home the distinct flavor of each region. Graphically, it’s hard to say if The Sims has ever looked better. Intricate use of color and a fairly clean aesthetic makes things very easy on the eyes, and even the bronze lion statues look pretty darn good. Essentially, World Adventures emphasizes new gameplay over simply a few extra collectibles, and that is what makes it so successful as an expansion. If future efforts receive similar levels of attention, Sims fans will have a great deal to look forward to.
