SimCity trailer speaks to the city planner in all of us

Comment

Games are one of those few activities that can be more fun to do wrong than right. Opening a door wrongly can end in a broken nose, not fun; clearing up dog poo the wrong way ends with messy hands and a smelly pocket, not fun; cliff diving...well, you get the idea. Yet, accidentally flooding your rich district in the old Sim City games because you forgot to complete the damn around your reservoir, that's fun.

The latest SimCity trailer embraces this aspect of virtual city building.

Sounds akin to city management Homer Simpson-style.

We're barely two weeks away from the 5 March release date. Though if that's still just too long, you can while away the time reading Steve's piece that collects together Everything We Know, it's nice and brief.
