Right, I've only had my PC a few weeks, and never intended to use it as a games machine, but after a few goes of Unreal Tournament 2003, I kind of realised arguing with myself would be futile. I'm not going to buy too many games, so I need to be choosy about the games I get - is Sim City 4 a good choice? It looks the bomb, but I don't want something I have to spend 5 hours a night on to appreciate. Is it a Champ Manager-style dedication thing or can you just have a 20 min blast every now and then?

I've had it for a week now, and it's addictive, when it doesn't crash. In fact, I've only exited the game properly once since owning it, as it usually freezes the system completely when playing. Although it looks like only I have this problem.

I think its one of those games that if you want to get any real satisfaction from it you will need to dedicate a fair ammount of time to playing it.
Also, most of the comments I have heard about it haven't been that great. Other then looking nicer I dont think they have changed to much so I dont think its anything new or exciting. Ive also heard the maps for you to build on are really quite small.
