Hasta La Gadget!

The Sims FreePlay would be the latest title from Electronic Arts that would make its way to the Nokia Lumia platform, and if you happen to own just such a smartphone from that particular company, perhaps you might want to consider giving The Sims FreePlay a go. After all, have this particular mindset that not all free things in this world are bad, and you might be pleasantly surprised. When The Sims was first released, it certainly captured the imagination of many, as we invest real world hours into the life of a virtual character. Kinda twisted, but the idea caught on. Well, The Sims FreePlay offers you yet another chance to control an entire town of virtual people right on the comfort of your Nokia Lumia handset.

In The Sims FreePlay, you are able to follow the lives of all your Sims in a newly established town, checking out one after another as they go about their own daily business. As to what they are up to, that onus falls back upon you. You will be presented with numerous plots of empty residential land at first which needs to be purchased, where some construction work will be carried out so that future homes can be filled with Sims whom you will direct their life. The Sims FreePlay will be made available for Windows Phone 8 smartphones that have a minimu of 1GB RAM, including the Nokia Lumia 1020, Lumia 925 and Lumia 920.

The Sims FreePlay Arrives On The Nokia Lumia original content from Ubergizmo.

Ever wondered how much money in video games and science fiction movies would be worth in our world? Well, thanks to the Intergalactic Exchange Bureau, you can now convert between a number of fictitious currencies.

Developed as a promotional stunt by Money in Advance, the Intergalactic Exchange Bureau can convert currencies from Star Wars, Star Trek, Skyrim, Fallout: New Vegas, Harry Potter, A Song of Ice and Fire and a couple of others. Whether you’re paying in Gold dragons, Septims, Creds, or Galactic Credits, you’re covered. Though don’t try and pay in Rupees. They don’t take Rupees.

Of course, they didn’t have actual exchange rates to work from, and they came up with their own estimates based on their independent assessment of the value of objects in the various fictional universes. That said, real-world currency relationships were based on actual market values. Though what the price of frozen concentrated orange juice in New York has to do with the price of lightsabers in the Dagobah system, I don’t know.
