dang. I onlly have a console.

wish they'd come out with a legit Flight Simulator on console, but I doubt that would ever happen.

Sim City and Flight Simulater might make it worth it to get a sufficient gaming rig.

Reading some pretty negative reviews about the Origin part of this game. It seems pretty silly to make an internet connection mandatory for this game.

Is it from fans or game industry magazines/sites? There's a rather vocal minority of SimCity diehards that hated the internet mandate and multiplayer aspects of the game.

They swear that EA has ruined their game. I'm somewhat sympathetic, but overall, I'm optimistic for the game.

And reviews are so far very positive.

Mainly customer reviews. I know they have to be taken with a grain of salt, but some made some real sense. I don't quite get the internet or Origin requirement either.

Is it EA's version of steam maybe? In a way at least?

I'm not a PC gamer, so I'm not really familiar with Steam. But in order to run this SimCity you have to have an internet connection and be logged into or have Origin running. I haven't researched it very much though. I'm not ready to drop $59 on a SimCity game.
