For a magazine from 2007-2008 it's interesting how dated and 90s these covers feel. Like who the hell was still saying "frag" when Bioshock was coming out?

Orange Box? Left 4 Dead? These aren't even GFWL titles, come on guys

I'm confused by SimCity being on the cover, that wasn't released until 2013. Was it really shown off in some form around the same time Bioshock and Crysis were released a full six years earlier?

The SimCity feature starts here:

Apparently they're talking about this spin-off not made by Maxis I hadn't even heard of:

Edit: This issue also contains a feature on Dwarf Fortress which might be of interest to hexbear users
