I have a love/hate relationship with the new SimCity. Products from some of these specialisations also help in the construction of Great Works, projects that cities in a region can collaborate on such as an International Airport or Space Centre. Specialisations have unique buildings you can build which can greatly enhance your economy. The new SimCity also allows your city to have one of six "specialisations": Mining, Petroleum, Electronics, Trading, Gambling and Tourism. Friends can claim neighbouring cities in a region and then you are able to share money, services and commuters amongst yourselves. In the new SimCity you have to be logged in to the SimCity servers in order to play but arguably the biggest addition to the new SimCity is the ability to play with your friends. Your job is to provide the necessary infrastructure (roads, power, water, etc.), services (police, fire, health, etc.) and zoning (residential, commercial and industrial) to encourage the growth of a thriving metropolis. SimCity is a sandbox game where you play the role of a city mayor/urban planner. The primary goal of SimCity remains the same, i.e. Regardless, being a true fan, I decided to give Maxis and EA the benefit of the doubt and try out the latest addition to the ground-breaking SimCity series. It was only after a couple of betas and the game's launch that doubts about the game started to emerge. Up until the months preceding release, all the press was really positive about the game. So earlier this year, Maxis finally released a new SimCity game, with the same name as the original, implying that it's meant to be a reboot. Not counting SimCity Societies (which was more of a spin-off than a true sequel to SimCity 4), SimCity fans have had to wait an entire decade for an official, Maxis-built sequel. For a bit over a decade, sequels to the original game were pumped out in 1994 (SimCity 2000), 1999 (SimCity 3000) and 2003 (SimCity 4).

I've played every SimCity in the main series since the original game was released back in 1989. City of Thamesbridge at night with a neighbouring city in the distance
