Sims-Like Games Make Second Life Seem More Like Second Life (If You Know What I Mean)

Aemyth has a really interesting review of two Second Life-based games which used a heads-up display (or HUD) to turn your open-ended Second Life experience into a simulation game. G&S is medieval-themed, which means your avatar will engage in mining, crafting, carpentry, fishing, and raising animals. Life 2, as the name suggests, is pretty much The Sims in Second Life, tracking your basic needs like hunger, thirst, bathroom trips, and so on -- see the HUD above.

Here's Aemyth's final comparison between the two games:

If your desired SL experience is more family-oriented and modern, get Life2. But if you want more minigames, crafting, and a more robust secondary market, invest in G&S. I still have garden sets from both systems in my home, but I can easily see myself transitioning to G&S items over time.

Nice Medieval Espresso machine. :P

On the other hand, this looks like it could be fun, can you set it up on your own land or is it a thing to play on somebody's sim?

You can play with the G&S system anywhere, nothing previous to install!
