Call me a nerd, tell me I’m a loser, I don’t care for your hush words, I’ll still be playing SimCity. I’m not one of those kids that’s stands in line for any game to come out, actually I don’t stand in line period. It’s one of my biggest pet peeves, I refuse to stand in any line at any time. That’s here nor there, this is about SimCity 5 that was released today on PC. I grew up playing this game. As a small child one of my first video games was SimCity 2000 and I was addicted to say the least. I would play for hours on end into the dark of night. Sometimes I would set my alarm for 3am so I could get up early and play without my mother knowing. I’ve had all the versions up to this date including SimCity 3000 and SimCity 4. As many other kids, I would build a huge metropolis then send the wrath of a 1000 suns down on my city just to kill people. Tornadoes Earthquakes, UFOs, whatever it may be and just beat the piss out of my citizens. It was rather cruel but I brought them in this world, so I can take them out.
Saying that, I’ll definitely be dabbling in this new Sim City. I doubt I put nearly as much time in this one but I’ve heard some incredible things. The graphics are unreal, now you can add curved roads and connecting cities is much easier than it used to be. No longer do you have to build dumb ass power lines or put pipes under ground, all that jazz is taken care of through the roads. My imagination can run wild with this new installment. Keep talking shit, I’m excited and I’m not scared to admit it.
