I posted a little while ago about The Sims Carnival and now I can provide a little update. I have been accepted into the beta, and within five minutes of logging in I had made my first game!

Now while what I created was pretty basic, it was fun to give the tools a very quick run through. You can find my game here to give it a quick play. Pretty simple Space Invaders kinda thing, over time I will aim to make something a bit more in-depth.

Well worth checking out and trying to get into the beta, I should have some more impressions later in the week!

Sims Carnival has been officially announced by EA at this years GDC and a Closed Beta has begun, if you head over to the site and register you will be in with a chance of being involved.
