DESCRIPTION

The "2008 Edition" of the culture-puzzle metropolitan management simulation City Life features the original 2005 game and a collection of additional content. Ten pre-designed maps have been added and a new feature allows players to import and play on real-life satellite maps. The addition of 60 new buildings brings the total up to 260. Beneath the new features, scenarios, and options, the City Life's gameplay remains intact. Zone by zone, building by building, players lay out their growing cities to provide for the eight basic needs of citizens in six subculture groups. Different subcultures demand different sorts of shopping, housing, and entertainment facilities, and each subculture is diametrically opposed to another. The "Fringes" aren't comfortable in the "Suits" territory, for example, and areas that cater to "Radical Chics" should be placed away from areas zoned for "Blue Collar" homes and businesses. Virtual urban planners are thus challenged to arrange their cities such that all citizens can get from their homes, to their workplaces, to their favorite stores, spending as little time possible in areas designed to appeal to their sub-cultural opposites. A series of pre-designed mission scenarios are available, or players can develop free-form cities in the game's sandbox mode. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

“I think you got a good deal if you enjoy those games. I dunno how the $6 price tag compares to the prices at other stores.”

“@WILDMAMMOTH I've never seen prices that low at any other store myself.”

“OH Poop! I saw that Brother in Arms Collecters edition at TJ Max the other day and couldn't figure out what it was from the labeling. After taking a peek I saw the action figure and discarded it with out much though. Shoot...now I wish I would have looked it over better. I'd have snatched that up on the spot. I think it was like $10 or something.”

“Big Lots here doesn't have games ;(”

“Big Lots has whatever they have. You never know. I see games there all the time, but just as often, I don't see any. Actually, theres 3 Big Lots stores I go to around here, and two of them have software racks near the front of the store. The other doesn't have a rack for software, but you sometimes see software in the book section or with the office supplies.”

“There's one right around the corner. I'll have to check it out once in a while. Thanks.”

“I used to spend a lot of money at Big Lots, but they never seem to have anything I want anymore. It's all random, though.”

“Lucky, I want some of that. Must go to Big Lots then. ...Provided we have one around anywhere.”

“Demon's Souls is just incredible. It's in my top 3 of the year so far and I don't see it getting bumped out”

EarthboundX was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“@Firehawk41 When I saw it was made by From Software, the makers of the King's Field series, and Shadow Tower, that was enough for me, haha. You playing the Chinese version?”

“Nice find....”

Firehawk41 was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“@EarthboundX Yeah, the Chinese version. I walked into an import store that I sometimes go to, and they had the opening cinematic playing on the store's PS3. I got very excited by it, and when I saw a copy on the shelf I nearly had a heart attack and snapped it up straight away. Turned out it was the last one they had in stock, so I was really lucky.

I haven't played any other of From Software's games (although that 3D Dot Hero looks fantastic!), but I picked up King's Field IV on the cheap a while back. Such is my backlog that I haven't had a chance to play it yet (still have most of the Shin Megami Tensei games to play through)”

“Where is your Big Lots at that you're pulling down such schwag? My Big Lots occasionally has one or two decent anime DVDs, but their games are usually crap... with the exception of that one time I found City of Villains for $10.”

EarthboundX was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“My local Big Lots sells PC games from 4 to 6 bucks. They have mostly crap, but I go in to check once in a while, and sometimes they have decent stuff.”

“My dad got Painkiller for $3 at our local Big Lots. Its a good game, I recommend it. :)”

EarthboundX was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“I've had Painkiller Black(Main game plus the 1st expansion)for years now, I really should actually play it, haha.”

“My dad got the gold edition, so yeah. Good deal haha :)”

“@EarthboundX dont forget, they also made Chromehounds :)”

stukinit was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“oh, and i picked up a sweet gamer chair from Big-lots a while back, it was $25 and it had speakers/a sub-woofer in the back. It was later sacrificed to the tinkering gods and now resides in my backpack with a portable 12v battery i also made. ”

EarthboundX was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“@stukinit I've heard of Chromehounds but never played it, what kinda game is it?”

EarthboundX was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“From Software also made the 360 game Ninja Blade, which I need to pick up, you can get it pretty cheap on Amazon. ”

stukinit was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“@EarthboundX ChromeHounds is a Customisable battle-mech Sim, if you are turned off by this i understand, but it isnt like gundam or any of that, its more of a multiplayer game than anything else with a relatively crappy storyline but the customizablilty made my head explode, the possibilities are quite literally endless. OH, and i picked up MSFS-X for $14 at Biglots, forgot to point that out.”

stukinit was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“Oh and it has died recently in the multiplayer aspect, it seems to only have a sort of "cult" status now because the last time i was on, there were literally less than 30 people still playing the "Neroimus" war aspect, and only around 100 still playing free-battle, so yes, its trade in time”
