A study conducted at UC Berkeley has shown that video games may help individuals who suffer from lazy eye. Known in the medical world as amblyopia, the condition sees individuals suffering from slight vision problems and sensitivity to light among other symptoms.
Simcity Societies has been patched to version 1.5 bringing six new scenarios.
From the article: Sims fans who purchased SimCity Societies and SimCity 4 may want to sit down. Are you seated? Good. I have some bad news for you, but just buckle down, you'll make it through. Of course its good news for other Sims fans who waited to get those games. EA will be selling SimCity 4, SimsCity 4 Rush Hour, SimCity Societies, SimCity Societies Destinations and The Sims Carnival SnapCity altogether as in The SimCity Box for $39.99. The big bundle will be available in June, 2008. Oh, and according to Amazon, the box includes a trial version of the Spore Creature Creator.
A new patch is now available for SimCity Societies. The 123 MB update adds two more disasters, six new events, new buildings, and also takes care of some more bugs.
Tilted Mill Entertainment released the third patch for SimCity Societies today. It weighs in at 68 MBs, and includes a variety of UI and performance enhancements. It also adds in a new feature - a UFO attack disaster.
Electronic Arts and Tilted Mill are set to release another overhaul patch for SimCity Societies, and this time, they promise to solve performance issues, among other additions and fixes. Most important among these is the new disaster. Always ready to slake the player's desire to wreak havoc upon his or her city, EA has added an alien attack to Societies' rather meager selection of calamities. Clicking the appropriate button summons a cute, powder-blue flying saucer that proceeds to Independence Day whatever buildings it lights upon, effectively annihilating it and any adjacent structures.
Today Electronic Arts announced that SimCity Societies has been approved for manufacturing and is expected to begin shipping to stores across North America, Asia, Australia and Europe on November 13th. It is rated E10+ by the ESRB and has a manufacturer suggested retail price of $49.99. In SimCity Societies, you construct not only the cities you desire, but create their cultures, societal behaviors and environments as well. Build an artistic city, authoritarian dictatorship, spiritual community or most any society you want in SimCity Societies.
