The Sims Medieval
Giving early purchasers of a game extra content is an excellent way to entice customers. EA has been doing this for a while via Limited Editions and will continue the practice with The Sims Medieval. The Limited Edition will include three themed throne rooms (Barbarian, Dark Magic, and Princess) as well as two outfit sets (Monarch and Executioner).
You might recall The Sims Medieval as being a standalone game in the franchise. Ditching the traditional gameplay, this title will be more of an adventure in which players direct their Sims through a variety of quests and day-to-day activities. It sounds quite interesting but we'll find out for sure when it is released in March 2011 for $50 on PC and Mac.

The Sims Medieval is a brand new standalone game from The Sims Studio, creators of best-selling games such as The Sims™ 3, andmarks a departure from the traditional The Sims games with all-new features and gameplay. Set in medieval times, players now have the opportunity to build up a medieval kingdom, go on quests, level-up their characters and fulfill storyline elements. Players will find their Sims, the characters unique to The Sims games, in a variety of situations previously unknown to them like duels to the death, choosing whether to poison a witch or marry her and punishing Sims by having them thrown into the Pit of Judgment. Every quest plays out differently depending on which Hero Sim the player is controlling.
Everything in The Sims Medieval is crafted to create an immersive medieval world, from the quest-based gameplay, to the medieval objects such as swords and stocks and thrones, right down to the warm look of the characters and the painterly approach to the world itself. Players can choose to customize every new Hero Sim that comes to the kingdom, including selecting their traits and their fatal flaw. Players get close to their characters, not only sending them on epic quests, but also making sure they carry out their daily responsibilities such as healing the sick, trading for exotic goods, or forging armour.
