"Black Milk" knocks me off my feet in this collection of moody and eclectic songs. Massive Attack uses samples and keyboards in a very unique way, but not all the songs pack the same punch.

The Sims 3 to be Published for Mac, iPhone in June
Wednesday, February 4th, 2009 at 5:49 PM - by .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
Electronic Arts has announced that The Sims 3 will be published for Mac, iPhone, iPod touch, PC, and various mobile devices on June 2, 2009. New features in the game include more customization options for Sims' looks, the ability to choose up to five traits to construct unique personalities, goal-oriented gameplay with short- and long-term objectives, new movie creation capabilities, and more.
EA also promises on the Sims 3 web site that players will be able to "customize everything" as well as have their characters interact with others in a seamless neighborhood. In previous Sims games, players had to wait through a loading screen to visit another house go to a specific location, such as a downtown shopping area.
What EA calls "the living neighborhood"
EA did not explain how the game will differ between the computer and handheld device editions.
The publisher also did not disclose pricing nor system requirements, although it's reasonable to assume that The Sims 3 will only support Intel-based Macs, since EA uses TransGaming's Cider to port games to the Mac, which leaves out PowerPC support. However, a Collector's Edition, which includes a 2GB flash drive, an in-game European sports car download, and other items, is currently available for pre-order for US$69.95.
