Friday! A Licky boom-boom down.

[JudgeDredd]

I got to Jarhead's early for his daughter's 1st b-day party...and wouldn't you know it no one else is here except Selma Hayek.

He stuck me in the cupboard under the stairs...said there was booze in there and BAM! Door locked!

What's Cities in Motion like? I've almost clicked the BUY button several times - but always stopped. Is it like SimCity?

I haven't played much of it yet, but the game is strictly mass transit based meaning you build bus, tram and subway lines only. You then purchase and add different vehicles to those lines while balancing passenger attitudes towards your company, employee wages, fares and so on. There are different sections of each city meaning residential, business, industrial and shopping which you have to plan your lines around to transport the people back and forth. You don't build roads, buildings or zones like SimCity.

It's a fun game especially when you watch the people get on and off your vehicles or watch for traffic jams or traffic accidents that slow your vehicles down and thus prevent pickup of the passengers in time so their attitude towards your company drops. There is some micromanagement to the game so it may not be for everyone.

There is a demo available for Cities in Motion at Gamersgate: http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-CIM/cities-in-motion. I recommend trying the demo first like I did.

Cities in Motion 2 has the ability for the player to build roads and so on, but I don't have that game.

That is one beautiful game. And very engrossing. I can see me liking it. I'm slightly confused as to why Cities in Motion is the same price as Cities in Motion 2 though??

I wondered who that was in the dark muttering about finding a bottle-opener.....
