Zynga's CityVille Wants to Take Down SimCity

[Andronicus]

So, when are they going to make VillageVille?

As usual, just another stupid application for me to block on Facebook. It seems like every time I block one, another five pop up. I just blocked probably my tenth different horoscope app last night, for chrissake.

CityVille?

City Village?

Well which one is it, a city or a village? Do they just mean town?

I can't see they taking down SimCity when they can't even decide what kind of settlement they're creating.

Well they couldn't call it Townsville.

Why not? Powerpuff Girls did it.

Don't compare a Zynga game to Sim City just because it is about cities.

No. Just No.

Just because Simcity at has least some depth to it.

And how well you do is based on your decisions, planning and budgeting, not how many friends you have or how much real money you give the game company.

Oh no they don't.

I've actually won all the keys in the Zynga promotion to get beta testing for this game. It was part of the Zynga lotto challenge. So I'll be among the first to see this game, and how in-depth it may be. Thanks for the heads up, and the fair article.

And then they will say "why decorate a whole city, when you can focus on the lives of a small group of avatars?"

And then they make SimsVille.

And the cycle is complete.

They may WANT to take down Simcity, but I really don't see that happening. Anytime soon.
