EA’s Sim City BuiltIt title for mobile has finally turned 1-year old this week and to celebrate this birthday, the company has released an update for the game. This update fits right in with this time of year as well, being a Winter-themed update in general, but also with some holiday goodies as well.
EA has brought a new Sim City to Android in a title called Sim City BuildIt, currently now in a soft location-specific release. While this isn’t a full Sim City title in that it has every option and feature of its PC and console bethren, it does have a lot of gameplay available still including the actually city building elements, which is good since this is Sim City after all.
The granddaddy of city management finally lands on Android, and while he’s slower and makes less sense; there is still that twinkle in his eye. The Sim City series has had a long history, from its humble beginnings in the dark ages of 1989 to the current day, no one game has quite nailed the balance of fun and frustration of running a city the way that Sim City does. Sim City and its sequels have been ported to almost every system in existence over the years, some good and some terrible.
EA’s Sim City Deluxe was originally an exclusive for the Motorola Xoom Family Edition which it would come pre-loaded on when you buy the tablet. Well after a short stint of being a device exclusive, EA has released Sim City Deluxe onto the Android Market for all supported devices.
A couple of days ago we reported on another new game coming from the crew over at G5 Entertainment called Virtual City. A lot of people seemed to be excited for this particular title from G5 Entertainment over their other ones. Well, as we mentioned the other day, it has indeed arrived on the Android Market.
G5 Entertainment has been coming out strong lately with multiple releases every couple of weeks it seems. Their newest game, Virtual City, will also be coming to the Android Market Sept. 1st and breaks away from the more ‘cute’ games to offer a Sim City style game instead.
There is a new Sim City type of game on the Android Market called My Country by Game Insight and published by Cooper Media. This is Game Insight’s second game with their first being the very popular (and #1 on the most profitable chart) game called Paradise Island.
