Simcity coming to iPhone next month

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.
