"There's likely to be a few people that have a problem with The Sims being on this list. Those people don't consider that The Sims franchise is the best selling franchise in the history of gaming and appeals to all ages, sexes, races, species, and sexual orientations. . . The Sims is a crazy phenomenon built on developer wackiness and player creativity. While there aren't necessarily many goals to achieve in The Sims, Maxis offered up one of the most fulfilling sandboxes in the history of gaming and let the community run with it. It's fun and incredibly important for bringing in a demographic normally reluctant to boot up a game on their PCs." - IGN
