We’ve been teased with pre-release screenshots. We’ve been awarded with a sampler. There’d probably be a riot if it wasn’t released any sooner. And the good news is, it was released on time come June 2nd, 2009.

An excellent title from the great guys over at Electronic Arts, this premium $9.99 title is a must-have for any fans of The Sims series of games. If you must know, I personally own a copy of the original The Sims for my Mac (can’t play it on my new Intel Mac), as well as The Sims Bustin’ Out for my (now abandoned) GameBoy Advance console. This is my third Sims game, playable on my iPod touch – and I’m loving it so far.

If you come to expect a full-blown Sims title on your iPhone, then you’re probably in for some disappointment. The Sims 3 for the iPhone (and iPod touch) are slightly scaled-down version of the larger games. C’mon, you can’t seriously want a full fledged Sims game on the iPhone, would you?

The wait is finally over. As previously announced, EA’s highly anticipated The Sims 3 is now available in all its glory via the iTunes Store. At an entry price of only $9.99, you can now have your Sims with you wherever you are. There’s no more excuse to go out of the room while still being able to play The Sims. Expect productivity to drop soon. *grin*

The Sims is the #1 best-selling personal computer game franchise of all time. Aside to the launch for both iPhone and iPod touch, The Sims 3 will also make its debut at retail stores nationwide as well as via digital download for both Macs and PCs. It will then make its way worldwide in 60 countries and 22 languages later this week.

Ben Bell, Executive Producer of The Sims 3 at Electronic Arts has this to say, “The day is here and we can’t wait to see what kind of stories the players will tell, movies they’ll make, homes they’ll build and everything they’ll share using The Sims 3. Now you can create any Sim you can imagine. For the first time ever, you can explore a seamless, open neighborhood and give your Sims real personality traits. Sims fans and new gamers alike will have something to love in The Sims 3.”

The Sims 3 will be the first Sims game experience for both the iPhone and iPod touch. Its full 3D Sims environments take unique advantage of the innovative multi-touch user interface and accelerometer in the devices to give players the opportunity to experience The Sims in a whole new way, anywhere, anytime. The Sims 3 will be available globally from Apple’s App Store on iPhone and iPod touch. Get the game via this iTunes link: The Sims 3
