        No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

            No. I haven't even opened Origin since I installed the free game (NFS:MW).

            In the months leading up to release, I predicted SimCity would be a colossal fail. The anti-cynics and fanboiz cried foul. The game sucks. I was right. They were wrong. But I'd much rather have a good game than be right.

            Sadly, no other company seems to want to make a decent city sim. Cities XL is all right... but it's more of a city-painter than a game. Civitas looks like a scam.

            Paradox has Cities In Motion 2, but that's more of a transport sim. If anyone could get into the city building arena, it's them.

            Oh well. There's always the "complain about Simcity" forum game. That's kinda fun.
            To us, it is the BEAST.

              Well, it was fun. But after I won that particular game so easily, it just isn't challenging anymore.

                It's not always about the challenge... for me anyways. After all, the moles never win when you play whack-a-mole. It's just fun to keep hitting them. But yeah, eventually you gotta say **** it and go play skee-ball.

                • I beg to differ. Come look at my front yard. The moles have clearly won.

                    Hoping that means a patch. It really better mean a patch.
                    Maybe they're trying to fix the hack which allows other people to destroy everyone else's cities on a lark.

                    • That's not even a real hack.

                      Yep.

                      A few of my friends are into it now as well.

                      • Just discovered a huge residential block I had was sitting on an oil supply. Bulldozed the houses, placed the drills, and pinged my regionmates to amp up residential because now I'm short of workers. Until they log on I'm sort of ****ed. I'm worried I'll run out of oil before we can stockpile enough for a great work.

                        • This is not the kind of game you play for very long in one sitting, but it's a lot of fun to log in for about 30 minutes every week or so to see your friends' cities change, adapt a bit, and ping the region wall with requests.

                            that doesn't sound like a game that i'd pay sixty bucks to play. it sounds more like a MUD than anything else.
