o ya first comment. This just looks like a rip off of sim city but better looking. I probably would never buy this.

Too much news for two days.

Too much news for two days.

Agreed.

Also, let me just say, "Steam FTW!"

 

[Hazar]

[Al3xand3r]

Sent you an e-mail smash (and testing to see if this works for me as I couldn't post when I tried recently).

Edit: Yay it worked

Edit 2: Thanks

A reason why you should be submitting your news, instead of someone else.

 

[Al3xand3r]

I assumed you guys would get the e-mails directly from Valve too

I don't, but some of our inactive members do... So, useless there.


I'm gonna go send Doug an email now, as a matter of fact.

 

[Al3xand3r]

Heh, tell him to use the main news address then, in case you go inactive too

 

[bigburpco]

... 'generatrion'?

It's a good-ish kinda game. Like... you'd play Sim City if you liked to BUILD cities and make them run well. You play City Life as an increasingly complex balencing act.

Well, that's what I thought. I only played the demo.

So many companies coming to Steam...

Too much news for two days.

Well i don't know, you complain when theres none, and now theres too much, you ungrateful & fickle members. This game looks great though!

Alexander - we don't really use the main address anymore, but you can email me or smash and it will get picked up, don't worry about that

 

[MiccyNarc]

Downloading demo.

 

[DigiQ8]

Go Steam !

I actualy saw this game on a pop up add when i was trying to download a DX upgrade about 3 weeks ago and it caught my attetion, so i baught it right on the spot. Way better than sim city 4.

It looks really good in the trailer, although alot of the models, such as people and buildings are abit repetative.

What's it like in the economical/politics side of things? Other than just building. You can't set taxes, which sucks.
