Electronic Arts today launched SimCity BuildIt for iOS devices, which is a new mobile iteration of its popular city-building franchise. The game features a variety of fully-detailed buildings found in the PC iterations of SimCity with touch-optimized controls for pinching, zooming, and rotating, as the game works online and offline.
Like the PC version, gameplay is centered around keeping citizens happy by solving challenges like traffic and pollution while expanding a city with new resources and buildings. Players can also trade resources with friends and unlock exclusive buildings, natural disasters, and other content. The game was originally announced in September, and follows the release of the latest SimCity title on the Mac last August.
SimCity BuildIt is a free download for the iPhone and iPad on the App Store. [Direct Link]

Why is stuff from EA even featured?
Ad revenue.
EA don't even design most of their games to be fun. It's about trying to extract as much money as they can from people.
You can actually play a free web-based version of the original Sim City which is a trillion times better than this ****.
