UMBCast 028 - SimCity 5

from The Upper Memory Block Hosted by Joe Mastroianni

Hail 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.
