The new Simcity seems to be immensely detailed and specific, every action has a reaction and so on. Could this be used for city planning, I wonder just how specific you can get to a real life environment based on land mass, population, placement, climate, etc? I can't wait to play it, but am definitely not a fan of the always on DRM that ships with the game as it just deters and annoys actual purchasers of the game.
This didn't feel like a game review, rather just an excited guy gushing over the nostalgia of the original games but it was still an entertaining read and got me excited for the game even if details about DRM and features weren't mentioned.
So many great games coming out this year, games are getting extremely intelligent and advanced. Watch Dogs (the open world hacking game coming at the end of 2013) looks great as does GTA 5 and of course Starcraft 2: Heart of The Swarm.
