LazyGamer: Earlier this year EA Games opened up application for their closed SimCity beta and like the fans we are we applied for this access. Unfortunately not only did we not get chosen but we also weren’t invited to the media previews that the rest of the world appeared to get.
But after sulking and complaining like we do we set off to gain access another way and that is when our new hero JimSole1 stepped forth and sent us a code to get into the Beta.

Some games force online-only measures onto people. It sucks! Especially when some titles, like these seven, 100% didn't need it.

The following is an excerpt from Chapter 5 of The Secret History of Mac Gaming, “Simulated.”

EA has something of a reputation when it comes to awkwardly handling much-loved franchises. Here are 7 that Screen Critics feel they ruined.
Need for Speed as well. Here's to hope that the new one will be a return to form for the franchise.
