[Ron]

Who play or has play this game?

I am a fan of building games, like Rock the Vegas, My Country etc on my tablet, but also want to play nice game on my PC.

Any suggestions about this kind of games are welcome.

Ofcourse AC is for me number 1..

SimCity 4 is a nice game but a bit outdated in my opinion. There are some things in the game which don't really make sense, like the commute. Some sims take the car to the busstop, then the bus to the trainstation, then the train to the next station, just to travel 2 blocks? lol.
Also, it does get a bit boring after a while. Basically, for city building you follow a specific strategy; you lay out your housing zones, your industrial zones, your commercial zones. You put police, fire dept. and hospital in strategic places for the best coverage. You make sure there's public transport. And then you wait. It takes a LONG time before you are actually making money and you get high rise buildings. It costs a fortune to build the extra service buildings needed, like larger schools and hospitals and high schools.

They are actually working on the next SimCity right now, but it'll be another several months before you can purchase that one in stores.

Anywho, other good strategic building games in my opinion are:

the Settlers 7: paths to a kingdom http://shop.ubi.com/store/ubiemea/nl_NL/pd/productID.225359400/sac.true

Anno 1404: http://shop.ubi.com/store/ubiemea/nl_NL/pd/productID.222101600/sac.true

Or if your more into the casual style building game I recommend these:

Royal Envoy: http://www.bigfishgames.nl/download-spellen/12549/royal-envoy/index.html This is one of my favourite games, and both my brother and father love this one too.

I played it and yes, it is outdated. A new one is coming out this March 2013. I'll give it a chance.

Well... I heard that Sim City 5 is a disaster. Good thing I didn't pre-order.
