The game that laid the foundations for the entire simulation genre is back with SimCity launching on PC today - available at retailers worldwide and on Origin.

More than 10 years since the last SimCity installment, the team at Maxis in Emeryville has delivered the most expansive city management game yet. The game is already getting tons of praise - Eurogamer Sweden gave the game a perfect 10/10, Polygon gave the game a 9.5 saying it is "perfectly engineered to dispense the maximum amount of fun" and Mail Online has called it a "masterpiece". The game made over 50 "Most Anticipated of 2013" lists and finally the wait is over. You can play by yourself, with your friends or with the rest of the world as you create the city of your dreams. 

Let us know what city you're excited to build and check out this spot with Adam DeVine of Workaholics!
