Award winning titles in the Aspyr range include:
The Sims 2:
For the first time, players control their Sims over an entire lifetime, from womb to tomb. Every choice you make has a relevant and dramatic effect on the life of your Sim. More life-like Sims, all new game-play and the ground-breaking addition of genetics gives players a more vivid and in-depth Sims experience.
Guiding your Sims through "Life`s Big Moments" takes on new importance, as players now get a "Life Score" to measure how well they are playing each individual Sim. The decisions that players make throughout the lifetime of their Sims now have an impact on their long-term success or failure.
A choice made as a toddler has a direct effect on the teen and adult Sim they become. Will players be able to successfully lead their Sims through such important events as a first step, first crush, or marriage proposal, all while the clock is ticking? Add-on packs for Sims 2 include Sims 2 Pets, Sims 2 open for Business, Sims 2 University, and Sims 2 Seasons. Sims 2 is available for R499.99 including Vat. Add-on packs for R299.99 including Vat.

Fight some of WWII`s most epic battles looking through the eyes of ordinary soldiers. The sequel to Call of Duty, the 2003 Game of the Year and winner of more than 80 awards, Call of Duty 2 offers more immense, more intense, more realistic battles than ever before, thanks to the stunning visuals of the new Call of Duty 2 engine. Call of Duty 2 provides an amazing experience with all-new enhancements, ranging from stunningly realistic graphics to seamless game play, a new engine, groundbreaking AI, and choice-based innovations that allow players to experience the closest thing they`ll ever get to real warfare.
