There's not one, but two pieces up over at Wired about the machinima-enabling movie simulator. The first, a review of the game, looking at the mechanics and the "how" of the game's functionality. The second piece concerns the actual creation of machinima within the game and how popular the machinima community surrounding The Movies has become. Our impressions of the machinima-tool-meets-The Sims can be found here.
