The Daily Hotness: Yeah, SimCity’s pretty baller

Recommended Videos

So… Dale was bragging that he got to play SimCity at gamescom. That’s pretty awesome. It was my personal game of show for E3, and the stuff I saw there was impressive.

After the exceptional disappointment that was SimCity 4, it’s nice to finally see a worthy successor. So… I can’t wait, and now I know I don’t have totally rose-colored glasses.
