New Sims Game Just in Time for Christmas

Here's a new one from EAGames, SimsCity Societies, from what I can tell it plays like SimCity but with a more personal touch, like you can customize what kind of city you build and who might like to live there:

"How Will You Shape Your Society?
SimCity™ Societies is one of the most powerful, most versatile, most creative city building games in existence. With it, you can build the city of your dreams, or your nightmares.

Are you a hedonistic mayor? Somebody who wants to show people a good time? Or are you more of a control freak? Someone who wants to maintain peace and order? With SimCity Societies, you can make your vision reality. Cyberpunk cities. Police-state cities. Fun cities. Haunted cities. Romantic cities. Quaint small towns and thriving metropolises.

Now you can impose your will on your citizens by manipulating the social energies that affect all of us every day -- productivity, prosperity, authority, knowledge, spirituality, or creativity. Like the New York mayor who turned Times Square into a family friendly shopping district or the Las Vegas mayor who is cultivating America’s party capital, you can impose your will and build your vision.

Create an artistic society or a police state, an industrial city or a spiritual community-or any society you want!

Personally this doesn't hold much interest for me, but then again SimCity was never really my thing. I'm more of a The Sims kinda girl. LOL
