Today Electronic Arts announced that SimCity Societies has been approved for manufacturing and is expected to begin shipping to stores across North America, Asia, Australia and Europe on November 13th. It is rated "E10+" by the ESRB and has a manufacturer suggested retail price of $49.99.
In SimCity Societies, you construct not only the cities you desire, but create their cultures, societal behaviors and environments as well. Build an artistic city, authoritarian dictatorship, spiritual community or most any society you want in SimCity Societies.
From Strategyinformer.com: "With EA ramping up marketing for Maxis’ reboot of the SimCity franchise, now is a good time to look back at the series’ often overlooked entry, SimCity Societies. Many see it as the disfigured runt of the litter; an abomination that had good intentions, but failed to capitalise on its drastic propositions".
How SimCity Societies tricks you into spamming your friends on Facebook
Where would modern comedy be without Fox News? This is a serious question, by the way. However you may feel about their coverage of political events, the one-two punch of catering to an older audience (the average age of a Fox News viewer is 65) and being utterly out of touch with every single trend on the planet has led to comedy gold. Now, instead of the old man screaming hilariously about those damn kids on his lawn, we have 24 hours of it, on cable, every day, easily uploaded to YouTube.
And nowhere is it funnier than when they start yelling about video games.
i hate fox news just saying'
also anyone notice in the mw2 one it says ppl? lmao
I also remember when GTA was released some news presenter reported you could have sex with a prostitute and cut her in half with a chainsaw. Half right, eh?
It bothers me that people that discuss gaming on the news still refer to 'points'. In GTA you apprently get points for running people over, or in MW2 you got points for gunning down innocent people. Wrong and wrong. I just wish someone that knows their stuff would go on the news when a story like this pops up and verbally bitch slap some of the ignorant news presenters.
That just makes all other news channels rich people who tell dumb people what "progress" is.
Edit: From what I've seen
^I can agree with that as well. My first reply wasn't meant as a defense of Fox News, it was a defense of half-truths. Sure Fox is really just a microphone for the Republican party 90% of the time (when talking politics); however, why do bs commercials from MSNBC rarely get smudged?
Example:
You have a 15-30 second monologue of Rachel Maddow in front of the Hoover Dam saying "These projects can't be done without gov't", when in actuality ALL man-made projects were done through human ingenuity; not necessarily all were made by some gov't. My point being: if a news channel mistakes the term "government" for "human ingenuity", who's to say their definition of "progress" isn't skewed either?
If this happens, everyone here has to call in, tell them that you weren't going to buy the game, but after seeing the clips they showed, decided you should. Or, if you're feeling brave, that you'll buy it for your ten-year-old son.
Aha ha ha ha...I hate Fox News. If anyone is going to send us back to barbaric times, it's them.
