Sim City is back

At EA's conference last night, Maxis gave us a little look at how the new {Sim City} is shaping up. Fans of the genre are no doubt salivating.

Maxis also made mention of SimCity Social, which is set to launch on Facebook soon.

"Over the years EA has continued to bring major brands such as The Sims to Facebook," said Sean Ryan, Director of Games Partnerships, Facebook. "SimCity Social is a great addition, and we look forward to another high quality game becoming available to the hundreds of millions of people who play games on Facebook each month."

The game is currently in closed-beta.
