Have fun with pets, without having to clean up.   I’m Fred Fishkin with technology BootCamp, a report on gadgets and gear.   Electronic Arts is out with Sims 3 Pets for video game consoles and combined with the Kinect on the Xbox 360, it takes the popular franchise to a new level.   Associate producer George Pigula….

“We have integrated voice controls throughout the game.  All the menus are navigatable through this.  Right now I could say go to breeds and it’ll switch to breeds and I could choose the different breeds of the dogs.  If I want to choose a Dalmatian I can go and do that.  I can make this guy a puppy, I can make him an elder.  You can have a mom and a dad in there and woo hoo, they’ll get puppies.  And they’ll actually put genetics into the equation and you’ll get a mix of the breeds in there.”

Sims 3 Pets is also available on the PS3, Nintendo and for computers.    The content is not meant for the youngest children in the household.   You can find us at BootCamp.com.   I’m Fred Fishkin.
