2. Sim City (2013) Electronic Arts

I can’t decide if that looks cool or sinister.

Official Gameplay Trailer with some exciting views. 

This reboot of the series, though sometimes referred to as SimCity5, includes the abilities to have up to 16 different cities with different specializations as well as the ability to play multiplayer.  You can now collaborate for achievements, or compete for them.  You can do everything from city-plan to see how individual Sims are doing.

Different cities with different specializations allows you the freedom to create cities that can be industrialization hubs, vacation hotspots, or quaint college-towns.  You control a region of cities, and each specialization of cities has its pros and cons. 

The multiplayer options allow for new depth of sending your resources to help a neighbor in need and in return, getting aid should you ever need it.  There’s a lot of depth to this game.
