Sim City Society, the latest real-life simulation game from EA, is being released this November.
Anyone familiar with the old Sim City games likely has fond memories of constructing entire cities out of small detailed neighborhoods, making sure each area was supplied with water, electricity, schools, firehalls and sufficient police stations to keep the Sims happy. The real addicts, myself included, had all the cheat codes for unlimited Simoleons and unlocking special features.
For recovering addicts, I'm not sure this new one is so safe to get into.
