Half a year to wait, unless...
Longtime SimCity series fans don't have long to wait for the upcoming SimCity: it's just been revealed at gamescom the game will hit in February of 2013, though a beta will hit at some point prior.
And if you're not the PC gaming type, it might interest you to know the game will hit Mac as well. Naturally, both versions will be available on EA's digital game service Origin.
Gameplay-wise, SimCity looks to be doing a lot of things right; the catch -- because there's always a catch with a big, PC exclusive game -- is its DRM, which requires you to activate online each time you launch it.

So, I'm guessing this won't be available through Steam then? :

DRM... EA... Doesn't surprise me. That being said, I still can't wait for this, it's been too long since we've had a TRUE SimCity game! With it being on Origin, I hope it won't have the same problem as Mass Effect 3 had, or it's going to be a sad day...
