The Daily Hotness: Still waiting on SimCity

Check out everything Destructoid did today

Recommended Videos

It seems like everybody on my Twitter feed had something to say about the SimCity debacle today. Scores have been downgraded elsewhere, and here on Destructoid, Josh let us know that our review is still coming due to the server downtime. Meanwhile, Fraser ranked some of the best city-building games to play while you wait for EA to sort out its servers.

Otherwise, Dale reviewed the new God of War game, Hamza let us know that the Dead Space 3 DLC is bringing the series back to survival horror, and although there wasn’t a new Podtoid as we typically see on Thursdays, we were graced with a Jimquisition. Check it out, along with all of the other stuff that happened today.
