Zynga is at it again. Flush with cash and mad with power, they’re unleashing yet another stage in their grand design to reduce everybody’s workplace productivity to zero. The new gameCityVillewill join its brethrenFarmVilleandFrontierVilleon Facebook and have players acting as the mayors of their own cities.
Th game will consist of players balancing the needs of its citizens with commerce and agriculture. It sounds verySimCity, except that you’ll be able to make actual changes to the cities of your friends (after gaining their permission, of course). Businesses can even grow to the point where they may be franchised out to other cities around the world.
I’m not giving Zynga any more of my time, certainly not while PopCap so feverishly holds a grip on my Facebook gaming time withZuma Blitz. But for those who can’t get enoughVillein their lives, expect to see the beta forCityVilleroll out in the next few weeks.
