The hottest latest news is that SimWorld is due out soon.  It looks (will look)
very good.  Basically it's SimCity, but on a global basis.  You don't control
cities here...instead of being a mayor, you are god.  You control atmospheric
condition, geothermal conditions, just about everything.  You are more looking
at the earth from a growth (aging) point of view.  You see how the ecosphere
interacts with all it's members.  The point of the game is to cause a species
to evolve to it's highest potential by making conditions on the earth condusive
to propagation.  It looks to be one intense game...I mean simulation.  Anyone
have any more news on this?  Someone at Maxis maybe?  I know that it will be
in color (at least 16), but will it be 256?
