At EA's Summer Preview event in San Francisco, the company revealed just a snippet of titles in the queue, including a running preview of the upcoming title, MySims for the Nintendo DS. Though it's obviously a title aimed at younger audiences, that doesn't necessarily mean that older gamers should immediately dismiss it. With its slew of mini games, intuitive gameplay and vibrant, friendly visuals and an easy to follow isometric view, it's looking like MySims is shaping up to be a title with something to offer to everyone.

The game has players taking up the role of a citizen newly immigrated to a resort town in need of assistance. The town, as fate would have it, is a bit run down, so players are charged with the task of sprucing up the place, with various tasks to help clean up the area, making it more appealing to the tourist population, setting the stage for the adventure ahead. The game is comprised of several goal-based missions to help create a cleaner, more vibrant paradise for tourists from around the world.

As you progress through the game, players will be able to speak with various inhabitants of the locale who will guide you in the right direction to making things that much more compelling to outsiders. You'll be charged with tasks such as planting trees or feeding local wildlife, all of which has positive effects on the local environments. Say you plant a series of new plantlife, it will create a beautiful forest that vacationers will travel from around the globe to visit. If you feed animals, it will create an interest from different species, encouraging them to visit, adding to the towns appeal to tourists. If you pay particular attention to a certain species, feeding them in abundance, they will grow to love you and will start to inhabit your home.
