GameLight - SimCity

SimCity has had a long history and influence in simulation games for the PC.  It's been nearly 9 years since the last release of the series and is now returning.  SimCity is a simulation game where the player (who's essentially god) creates a living, breathing world by constructing buildings, roads, resources, and necessities for humans to live.  Knowing where to place certain buildings determines the well being of the inhabitants.  I'm not much of a fan of SimCity, but I always fancied the idea of creating a whole city in a game.  SimCity steps up and brings the game to life with hyper-realistic graphics, innovative customizations, and seemingly a multiplayer aspect where players' cities are right next to each other and will affect one another.  The amount of detail in this SimCity is remarkable just from watching the trailer.  Each tiny human in the game has an animation set.  All objects reflect accordingly with light, environment, and weather.  Even though I'm not entirely excited about the game, I think it'll be really fun to watch videos of other people's creations when it finally releases sometime next year.
