To sum up MySims in a word - cute. There's just something about those little blocky faces that makes the characters within so adorably huggable.

Actually, "cute" probably isn't the best word to use when talking about this game. "Customize" is. In MySims, "using a selection of building blocks, unique patterns and engaging creativity tools, players can design furniture and appliances, architect new homes and businesses, and re-define the entire MySims landscape". There's a whole world out there just waiting for you to tinker with it.

You can see what you have to play with through the means of new screenshots and an old trailer after the jump.

MySims is destined for release in America on 18 September, and just 'September' in Europe.
