Cities

Cities is essentially a SimCity clone. It’s not even subtle about it. You build a city by placing roads, zoning Residential, Commercial, or Industrial, supply power, water, santitation, health, education, fire and police services. And build parks. And maybe SimCity is close enough to reality that you could say that you just based your game on how things really go instead of on SimCity, but it’s really hard not to feel like Cities blatantly ripping off SimCity.

But SimCity is one of my favorite games of all time, and as I’ve noted before, a game that’s suited to my neurochemistry. Any game where you can stop time and do stuff, or think about things, that’s a win right there. So I’ve happily sunk hours into Cities already, even though I’ve only had the game for a couple of days.
