Secondly, you can theorize and speculate all you wish but you must always bear in mind that we did not confirm a damn thing. Thirdly, and this much we can almost promise: the game in question is something the vast majority of gamers will likely enjoy, and the only hint we can give you is that it is familiar. Well, we\u2019re talking about a massive upgrade over the last installment, but nevertheless\u2026familiar. The good news is that we might be able to spill the beans on this as early as January or February, but we\u2019re at the mercy of Sony right now. Our source \u2013 who is no rumor-starter but the game designer currently working on the project \u2013 says his hands are tied on the issue, and we\u2019ll continue to respect that. But if everything goes well, we\u2019d like to think this game will be ready to go by the end of 2010; that may seem like a ways off, but we consider it a damn good reason to own a PS3.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Good grief!  I guess I am contributing to the madness.  I am going to go out on a limb and say this one is not <em>Sex Simulator 2.000 \u2013 A new beginning<\/em>; however the vast majority of horny teenage gamers and middle age old farts like me enjoy sex (or at least the thought of sex).
