SimCity

They really... REALLY need to re-do SimCopter. I've been keeping an eye out for a helicopter simulator that came close to the experience created by the game, haven't found anything yet.

Tetris, SimCity (2k and 3k), and now Planetside 2. There's a feeling you get after a year or so where you just know you'll be sick of it. I don't get that feeling here. My friends still at Maxis are doing a great job!

That's absolutely true on the receiving end too. I still play sim city 4 to this day, trying to get those massive sky scrappers (without cheating). It's addictive.

SC2k ftw.

I hope and pray that the new SimCity is the same gameplay style as SimCity 4 just for modern tastes.

No problems if they take out areas that might have been a bit tedious or boring, but I won't be buying any dumbed down crap!

WOW that just made my day. That looks amazing.
Also, thank god for zoning confirmation.

Wow looks like the economy has been expanded to support the idea of resources - supply and demand.. really neat. And I really like how everything is going online now - so you can "Trade" resources between different players.

I actually might get back into it, and I am sure my dad would hes huge in the series.

That whole agents and supply/demand model looks much more realistic. What was SimCity 4 doing in the background?

There's a new more in-depth talk through up on RPS:

This is sounding more and more amazing.
