Time for a PC Game Review #1
Kyttie | 8:41 AM on 10.21.2007 84 comments


DToid tends to lean more towards the Console games, but I honestly prefer PC games :) so I'm gonna give a couple reviews on some of my favorite all time PC Games :P

#1. SimCity 4



Right off the bat I knew I'd love this game.. it brings a whole new aspect to the SimCity Series, as a person who's played every single SimCity since the original, I know the game quite well, and must say, they DEFINITELY set the bar high with this one.

SimCity 4 brings something that no other SimCity had, the ability to make a REGION, not just a single City, no, you can interconnect tons of cities with eachother, change the landscape in beautiful ways, which allows you to creat amazing scenery and urbanization, my particular favorite was with little rural/farming cities on the outskirts next to a mountain range, connected by a single highway to the larger cities.. it looked great :)

It also game you even MORE control over your budget and things to build.. they went with a monthly budget this time, making things even more realistic, and it REALLY makes things difficult, you really have to watch how early you give your sims good education or clean water or you might end up completely screwing your budget.

All around, with Graphics and Gameplay I give it a 10/10.. obviously the only thing lacking is a storyline xD




well that's my PC Game Review for the day..

Upcoming Review: Civilizations IV

I predict 200 comments for this post...


125 of them will be Whiteboy0869 telling you how beautiful you are.

Also, first rule of game reviews, never give a game a 10/10 unless you wish to become a martyr.

I remember playing the SimCity 4 where you can drive cars around.

It was pretty cool..
Kyttie's Destructoid Blog
oh I completley forgot to mention that xD
Professor Pew's Destructoid Blog
Never really liked Sim City 4, because I always want to give my Sims good education and protection. It felt like they kinda removed those values from the game, in favor of getting waste disposal plants.

I'll just stick with Sim City 2000 and funds funds funds funds funds :P
GrayFox's Destructoid Blog
I can't read this review because all I am thinking about is how beautiful you are!!!!
Kyttie's Destructoid Blog
Prof, they DEFINITELY did NOT take those values from the game!! they were required, big time, but they just made it more realistic... why would you need a huge police headquarters for a town with 900 people in it?? most cities (in real life) with 900 ish people only have 2-4 cops total... they just made it more realistic..
Kyttie's Destructoid Blog
oh gawd... not again xD
Professor Pew's Destructoid Blog
Realism schealism, let me have social welfare and good lives for my sims :(
Kyttie's Destructoid Blog
bahh... Democrat xD *Snarl* lol
Eschatos's Destructoid Blog
Realism schealism, let me have ANARCHY!!!!!!!1
TheDude234's Destructoid Blog
I'm still playing Sim City 3000 Unlimited and I love it. I may just have to try 4. But the game I'm really really looking forward to is Will Wright's, Spore. He did such a great job with the entire Sim franchise that Spore must be amazing. But I don't think I'll ever be able to stop playing Sim City.
Professor Pew's Destructoid Blog
Realism schealism, let me have SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Bluefusion's Destructoid Blog
No matter how I try, my cities always end up being these windmill-driven bastions of low-cost health care and public facilities.

I guess you can't take the 'liberal' out of me.
NihonTiger90's Destructoid Blog
Sim City 4 is one of my favorite games, along with Sim City 2000. Being able to make a region and micromanage each of the cities in the region was actually a fun idea.

Now I'm gonna have to go dig it out and start playing it again, lol...
9to5's Destructoid Blog
It's always cool to hear people being passionate about PC games that are not just WoW or an FPS. I suck so bad at the Sim City games but I really enjoy playing them. My PC is a bit old school, I've just gone retro(ish) and got Deus Ex, Civ 3 and Sim City 3000. All great games.
whiteboy0869's Destructoid Blog
i could only be so lucky. My wife wakes me up early to stay with my daughter while she goes out with her mom and my son, and I get to see the wondeful Kyttie's new blog. Simply Beautiful, hun. Good blog too. Though, that comment about 10/10 is true. Bad idea. Still, you're beautiful, and I'm officially giving YOU a 10/10 in my daily hotness review roundup.
Jetsetlemming's Destructoid Blog
I knew there was a game I had forgotten to play.
I still have and occasionally play Sim City 2000 on the Playstation. :3 You can enter a first person mode where you explore a 3d version of your city, it's l33t.
whiteboy0869's Destructoid Blog
Also, Professor Few: Fuck social welfare. If I had control over a town, first move is to raise taxes on the lower class. If they can't afford to pay that, then fine. But if they whine, then I'll pull the welfare and all that other shit out from beneath them. I work in an inner city area, so seeing people lined up outside the liquor store on welfare check day is very disheartening. Especially when they're spending my fucking tax money.
whiteboy0869's Destructoid Blog
God, you look so sexy in your profile pic. Mmm....
Roflcopter Pilot's Destructoid Blog
^Haha...what the hell!?
Eschatos's Destructoid Blog
I'll check this out, sounds fun, and I liked Simcity 2000.
whiteboy0869's Destructoid Blog
Look at that, Kyttie has given people a new game to play. Isn't she Lovely?
Professor Pew's Destructoid Blog
Haha whiteboy, you're right. Welfare is ALWAYS used for booze and drugs, and never to help lower income families get out of their vicious circle of poverty. That is why it's the American Dream to work 2-3 jobs to feed your kids, so you won't have time or money left to advance up the socio-economic ladder. America was built on the ideals of having 1 upper class that rules the other classes, while getting tax cuts for their giant homes and business. Otherwise, how could they pay for food?
whiteboy0869's Destructoid Blog
A fucking liberal. Obviously, you aren't paying bills and feeding your own family, assmunch. You have no idea, do you? Have you ever lived in an inner city area? I used to live in Bayonne, and we got the fuck out of there. Alot of these people don't actually work two jobs and shit. And besides that, they have only themselves to blame for their shit life. Did the idea of school ever occur to you? The government is always willing to give free cash for school, plus you can always take out a loan.

Or, you could collect food stamps and welfare checks, and then not buy a damn thing for your children. Because everything the poor kids want, they don't need. Of course, their low life parents NEEDED those Cigarettes, but you couldn't have a fucking GameCube even. You have no idea what it's like in the ghetto. Most people aren't trying to get out of there. They just sit around and whine about the white man and how it's all my fault they aren't living the nice life
Riser Glen's Destructoid Blog
HOLLA


whiteboy0869's Destructoid Blog
Right then.
whiteboy0869's Destructoid Blog
Well, what does the beautiful Kyttie think of socialized welfare and free health care? Are you opposed to giving out more free shit to lazy people? Sure, some need the help, but just as many are taking advantage of the government.
Riser Glen's Destructoid Blog
These crackas don't know how it be in da hood HOLLA.


whiteboy0869's Destructoid Blog
All right man, very funny. But you really have no idea do you? so STFU
Professor Pew's Destructoid Blog
I do know, and wtf: "And besides that, they have only themselves to blame for their shit life."

I know that edumacationz are hard to understand, but Jesus...
whiteboy0869's Destructoid Blog
Well, WTF else can I say? White trash, black people, nobody is immune from this addiction to lazyiness. What can we expect though? They've been told their whole life that it isn't their fault. The fault lies with the rich people. You know, the ones who went to school and worked hard to become rich, as opposed to sitting on their asses selling drugs or waiting for the right guy to come and impregnate them and then leave them.
whiteboy0869's Destructoid Blog
I don't want to argue with you Pew, i like your blog and your avatar is pure gold. We have differing opinions. Trust me, when you're older you will not be a democrat. Unless you want to be broke.
Riser Glen's Destructoid Blog
Shudaup cracka you dont know me HOLLA


whiteboy0869's Destructoid Blog
OMG that pic is hilarious. But that doesn't exactly pass for a valid arguement. It is obvious you disagree with me, but why? Give a reason, or are you just going along with the popular opinion and don't want to say anything?
GrayFox's Destructoid Blog
"Still, you're beautiful, and I'm officially giving YOU a 10/10 in my daily hotness review roundup."

"God, you look so sexy in your profile pic. Mmm...."

RAPIST ALERT.
whiteboy0869's Destructoid Blog
Dude, grow up. I'm only fooling around.
whiteboy0869's Destructoid Blog
Back to Halo 3, I guess.
Riser Glen's Destructoid Blog
Lol. The internet predator just told you to "grow up."
whiteboy0869's Destructoid Blog
Kyttie lives in fucking texas. Being a father and husband, it is extremely unlikely I would ever bother to find her assholes. No, I will leave our future meeting up to fate
Riser Glen's Destructoid Blog
"Kyttie lives in fucking texas. Being a father and husband, it is extremely unlikely I would ever bother to find her assholes. No, I will leave our future meeting up to fate" Said the rapist before he went back to playing Halo 3.
whiteboy0869's Destructoid Blog
Nope, I'm done with Halo 3 for a little bit. I totally pwned the bitches I played with, except for the fucks who camped out underground in Snowbound. Camping is so fucking corny.
Riser Glen's Destructoid Blog
They were just hiding. Hiding from the rapist.
CharTheRedComet9's Destructoid Blog
Valid tactics are so stupid. If you say you owned everyone except for everyone who beat your ass, then you should just stop failing already and play better...It's not like Halo 3 even has aiming, half the work is done for you...
whiteboy0869's Destructoid Blog
Another Halo hater. It is a valid tactic, but it's corny nonetheless. it is completely boring. We almost won that match, but i'm not superman
CharTheRedComet9's Destructoid Blog
I own halo 3. The game doesn't encourage aiming, deal with it. It's boring to you because it beat you. It's a fun game... just a horrifically overrated game...Yeah you aren't superman, superman would get married before he fathered 2 kids.
Riser Glen's Destructoid Blog
"Yeah you aren't superman, superman would get married before he fathered 2 kids."

OH FUCKIN' BURN. OH MAN. HAHA


whiteboy0869's Destructoid Blog
wow, what a nasty fuck. A little teenage angst for you there. Have i ever done anything to hurt you? Your a fucking bitch, back to halo
CharTheRedComet9's Destructoid Blog
I'm older than you are I believe... You just annoy me. Please go back to Halo then, its your retreat from the world of getting your shit owned.

 about me



Favorite games include: most strategy games, but honestly I'll try anything, so I end up with a nice mix of games, like Harvest Moon, Animal Crossing, Halo 2, Civilizations 4, WarCraft 2 (TWO, not 3, and Don't even talk to me about W.O.W. or you shall die a horrible death) and many many others.

Avg Weekly GameTime: 30+ hours

I play console and PC games, but sadly havn't gotten around to getting an XBox360, or a PS3.

now that the IMPOTANT stuff is out of the way xD I'm a 19 yr old Female, living in a Hell Hole state that I can't wait to get out of and go back home (to Missouri), this Hell Hole goes by the Name of Houston, Tx. But don't be fooled by the English name it has, this city was forged in the fires of Mt. Doom by Sauron himself.

I'm pretty much your avg. nerd.. except on a couple traits, but we don't need to get into those.. and to prove it, I have (havn't played her in a long while though) a lvl 74 Silvan/Drow (I can give you the very... interesting back story to that if you understand why that's ridiculous) xD


Potius mori quam foedari
(Rather to die than to be dishonoured)

oh ya...
