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.
