SimCity
Titanium Man:
Coming March 5, 2013
OverviewSimCity is a city simulation game with infinite possibilities. It is the sixth major release of the Simcity series. Using a new engine called "GlassBox", the depth of simulation has been been deepened further. Unlike previous installments, everything you see on screen is simulated - from roads to the individual person. Manipulate power, water, taxes, costs, education, transportation and see how your sims react. Maybe you want to build a casino city? Fine. A high wealth and highly educated technological city? All possible! Every action you take affects the game.
MultiplayFor the first actually second time ever, you are able to play with your friends and family! You can benefit from neighboring cities by trading resources (water, power), and the negative things can impact neighboring too! High crime in your city? Watch them rob your friends banks! Fire in your city? Friends fire trucks are on the way! There is also a global market with fluctuating prices. Your city not only impacts your game, but everyone's.

It's not just a DRM. In one of the videos a developer says that a large part of the city simulation is done on EA servers and the data is then sent to your computer. You must have internet connection to play the game. This kind of killed the game for me.

the real simcity
Man 2:
I had to play "use a professional sociological simulation" called SimCity 4 in a STEM Science course in 8th grade.
I loving hated my group.
We then had to build a physical part of our city using found objects.
I loving hated my city.
And then we had to make a PowerPoint.
I loving hated my PowerPoint.
