EA has announced that alongside Need for Speed Undercover and Monopoly, they are also bringing Simcity to the iPhone.
For those not keeping up with Sim happenings, Simcity is a city building simulator that puts you in the position of a mayor charged with creating new cities from scratch, managing taxes, traffic, happiness, energy - all kinds of things - and in the event you need to spice up your life a little, a large selection of catastrophes are at your fingertips (EA uses tornadoes, earthquakes, and giant monsters as examples).
It's a pleasant surprise to see such a well established franchise coming to the iPhone, and EA looks to be making this version of SimCity a must-buy purchase with specialised iPhone controls (pinch zooming, for instance) and extra landmarks.
Expect Simcity for iPhone to be released next month.
