SimCity!

Although it has already been released in the US (anybody in the US or with a UK preorder already let me know what it's like), SimCity will be here tomorrow and I must admit I'm rather excited. It's a game that has been due a sequel for quite some time and hopefully it will live up to expectation.

I know there have been aspects which have caused uproar, such as the DRM , the constant need for an online connection and the matter of having several different smaller city areas; rather than a large expanse. I'm prepared to look beyond these as long as the game is as addicting and involved as the previous ones.

We shall see.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 - Why Do I Suddenly Feel The Urge To Buy This Game!?

I've randomly come across thIs title whilst browsing through Steam and I'm finding myself compelled enough to buy it. This is surprising in a lot of ways, as these games usually lose their novelty very quickly after releasing how complicated it is after mere minutes of playing. This seems different however, because:

- There seems to be actual progression and actual goals to accomplish. This is a big plus as it makes it interesting and addictive.

- You have a character, in a sense, and your own company. In some ways, this has RPG elements mixed in too.

- Graphics are not too shabby either.

Should I take the plunge and buy it? I think the answer is inevitable..
