PCGamer - SimCity hands-on: “clever, beautiful and terribly, terribly addictive”

PCGamer writes: It’s not the sort of hit I expect from a citybuilding sim. The SimCity series has always provided a banquet of slow-burn rewards for the patient, analytical player. The compulsive pleasure of creating well-organised districts with perfectly spaced roads and excellent healthcare. The smugness of seeing your city’s coffers swell with tax takings as big industry takes root. With the help of the new Glassbox Engine, this reboot from Maxis adds a sleek layer of polish and a spark of instant gratification.

Need for Speed as well. Here's to hope that the new one will be a return to form for the franchise.

Gaming1012482d ago

Dead Space was the worst ruining... micro transactions in a full price game, with co op that was mandatory to get all the story and access to certain areas. Sure Rock Band was oversaturated, and Burnout was basically killed off even though it sold a ton on PS3 back in the day.

Wow kudos EA! no one can kill a franchisee like you can kill a franchises.

lptmg2482d ago

Sadly, Rock Band died because of Activision shoving one Guitar Hero every 3 months

Madden Football 2006-2018 2018-?

showtimefolks2483d ago

chrono12052483d ago

Or a reboot, with all the fun of the first one.

showtimefolks2482d ago

PhoenixUp2483d ago

Dead Space, NBA Live, & Rock Band

I really liked Burnout and Need for speed and thought no one will able to destroy this game.....I was WRONG!
