Okay so it turns out there WAS one more game I care about, which is Anno 2205. Just.... did not expect this. From Ubisoft, this one.
Anno 2070 is bloody amazing. When SimCity came out and sucked horribly, I went to that game instead, and it really is an incredible experience. There's nothing else quite like it. But then a bit later on, good ol' Ubisoft did that THING that too many big developers/publishers are doing lately, and they had an idea: "I know! Let's make a super casual version of this that's online only, in like, a browser. You know, like Farmville! We'll monetize things just a bit and restrict actions by time, you know, keep interest... OBVIOUSLY this will print money!". Hint, it didnt print money and was bloody horrible. After THAT happened I figured whatever game could be next, either wouldnt get made, or wouldnt come to the States. I mean, really, with that game, literally more than half of the core mechanics were entirely gone. I dont know what they were thinking.
So that's one that should be good. I hope. It bloody well better be, really...
