So i'm looking for a simulation type game that will keep me occupied for a while

I've been around and played most of the big games

- Black & White
- Theme Hospital
- Startopia
- Football Manager
- The Movies
- The Sims
- Tropico
- Starcraft

And countless more,

Can anyone reccomend a good in depth sim with building and the likes,

What are your favorites?

Thanks

Like transport tycoon..

looks a bit outdated.. but you can get custom texture packs etc..

its a great game very addictive..

Online multiplayer too

Cities XL 2011. Now that they've got rid of the ridiculous MMO subscription model, it's the closest thing to SimCity in the absence of a new SimCity.

How is Civilization V not in your list? It's pretty much the definitive sim/rts available. It will also consume your soul.

I'd also recommend the Total War series, though they focuss much more on combat.

Have Civ 4, as i said big list and can't think of naming them all.

R.U.S.E is fairly decent if you like C&C and the like. Online multiplayer is supposed to be good on it too, haven't tried it myself yet.

tried ruse wasn't blown away by it tbh

people dont like it becouse of stupid DRM, but dont let that DRM keep you from that amazing amazing game.

honestly, its freaking amazing if you like economy/war rts games.

Europa Universalis

Really in-depth game. You will sink days into it

I just ordered it there. It better be good or I shall wish a plague o' both your houses.

hal9000 · 18-02-2011 01:43PM

bit more action orientated but the "Dawn of War" series is pretty good. and if you like relic then check out homeworld 1 & 2 (love those games!)

YIKES!

nah m8, its really good game, campaign is really amazing.

if you ever played settlers 3 or 4, then you will love settlers 7!

had review up of it here on boards, but it was deleted... i guess it was not professional enough . :rolleyes:

in fact, when you have a go at it, give me a shout, i really want to know opinion

This. Brilliant games. If you complete both games, go for Crusader Extreme for a really really unfair challenge!

So did you got it? How was it m8?

Hearts of Iron III. Seriously hardcore.

[edit] Yes, Dave is retarded, that of course would be a turn based game... derp. Still pretty good.
