Happy June, and welcome to a brand new month of Impulse Weekly! It might not be officially summer yet, but it is certainly starting to feel like it both in temperature and busy times. It goes without saying that Impulse had another great week of releases, and one that generated quite a bit of talk around the office was the Sims 3 – Ambitions expansion. This expansion for the popular Sims 3 brings new career options, the ability to control them while on the job, choose your Sims career progress, and more. I haven’t had a chance to play it yet, but the Sims 3 fans in the office say go for it!
The pre-order for Hearts of Iron III – Semper Fi have also started. This is the first expansion to the WWII RTS title from Paradox. The game launches on June 6th, so pre-order now and be ready to play! The road to Elemental is also getting hotter as a ton of news and previews have been published this week. Check www.elementalgame.com for news, and be sure to take a look at some of the links below for Dev Journals on Elemental’s progress.

Unfortunately, I don’t think fair will be involved as anything with dealing with ...
