Episode 28 – SimCity 5
April 28, 2013Hail Blockers!
This week we time travel to the present day and cover EA’s newly released SimCity 5.
In the news:
Jane Jensen’s new game, Moebius, will be out by the end of 2013.
Chris Roberts’ Cloud Imperium Games opens a new office in Santa Monica, CA.
The X-COM FPS has undergone some changes and is now being developed as a realtime tactical shooter called The Bureau.
We then get into the review of the new SimCity 5 (or SimCity 2013 or whatever you’d like to call it). I talk quite a bit about gameplay and how the guts of he game work. I also discuss some of the continuing issues with the game and finally give you my verdict on whether it’s worth buying or not.
