Sim City 5 Review, by Vector
PDXLAN has started a new section in our forums where gamers can review their hardware and software. We wanted a place where people could give their honest feedback to our readers. The idea behind a community review is that you know it is not a sponsored review, nor a company feeding you information. It's a review by your peers.
Vector, an avid Sim City player gave his feedback on this new controversial game. Battling a horrible launch and a ton of negative press, how did the game do? Read on to find out! |
