SimCity – Gameplay Diary: Day Four
Just like a good number of other people, we’ve been playing SimCity, here at GodisaGeek.com, for the past week. We thought that it would be a good idea to show you the city the we created, as it developed, through a series of daily, diary style videos.
We’ll be bringing you a new video each day this week, so be sure to check back daily to watch the progression of, what we called, Jaynestown (we’re big Firefly fans here, as you can probably tell).
This fourth video in the series shows that now that we have the basic layout of our new city more or less sorted – roads will continuously need to be added to accommodate for a rapidly growing population – we have to concentrate on making our Sims as happy as we possibly can. This involves upgrading current buildings, adding more things for people to do and making sure that they’ve got enough amenities to run it all. It’s also becoming evident that we’re getting dangerously close to the city size limit imposed by the game, something that we’re going to have to work around.
Let us know how you’re finding SimCity in the comments below, and be sure to check back tomorrow for another video in the series. SimCity is available now for Windows PC and is due to appear on Macs later in the year.

By day I play video games, test video games or just simply write about them. By night I fight crime on the streets of London as a masked vigilante known only to a select few ... damn SECRET identity. Could never get the hang of that.
I've been writing about video games for about 10 years now, and playing them for even longer, starting off with a Spectrum ZX passed down to me in about 1988. Yes, I used to play games that came on cassettes. Yes, they were AWESOME!
I've been writing for God is a Geek since October 2010 and loving every minute of it, aside from that I write for my own website and work as a video game tester for Testology. So, yeah, I'm pretty much living the life of a gamer, and I don't intend stopping anytime soon thank you very much.
Unless I run out of money, then we might have a problem.
