iOS City Builders Blog

SimCity is arguably the best City Builder franchise, ever. But it's been several years since its last major release, and its performance and accessibility has started to decline as technology has progressed around it.

When ever I access my laptop now, its because I need to do something important, write a long document, 3D modeling, photo editing or anything processor intensive. However, this isn't exactly because I don't have the time. Current technology has done away with the need to use a desktop, or even a laptop. I find that when I'm on the go I reach for my iPhone to access the internet or to pass the time, when I'm at home, the easiest access point to the internet is the iPad. When using these devices I don't have any additional need for a computer. I was wanting to release a CJ at the start of the year, but my time spent on Sim City 4 was limited because I was hardly on my computer.

However, the City Builders Itch, that reason that we keep coming back to Sim City was calling me back but I just didn't find the time to start because I was never on my computer. My iPhone became the hub of my City Building games, and I have been pleasantly surprised with what I found.

This CJ is not just a review of games, but a mixture of review and a documentation of my progression through these games. This CJ will hopefully show you the good side of iOS City Builders, and what can be done with some fantastic apps available on iTunes.

My next post will show what apps Im currently looking at along with future apps that I may write about.

If you have any apps you want me to checkout before you go ahead and download it, then post a link in the comments section and I'll have a look at them.
