In a recent article, I explained how EA offered a free game to help ease the tension with the rough SimCity launch. I felt it prudent to let you know that my free game arrived today. All you’ll need to do is open Origin and check out the news of the day, which pops up in a separate window. If you have a valid claim to this prize and EA is ready to deliver it, you’ll be prompted to pick from a short list of EA games.

A new “SimCity” was long overdue. “SimCity 4” was released back in 2003 and “SimCity Societies”, while a great game, was too casual to satisfy my need to run things like a know-it-all with delusions of grandeur. I had reservations about getting this game, mainly due to the trouble I’ve had with EA’s Origin system as of late. My account was locked in some sort of weird loop that was somehow signed up to Origin but wasn’t, though it may have had something to do with the seventy or so IDs that plagued it from games dating back to 2004. Trying to contact EA was even more difficult, as I just didn’t have “two hours” to wait around to talk to someone on their support chat. Creating a new Origin press account for my website seemed to do the trick…a fresh start as it were, but I digress. “SimCity”…let’s take the plunge shall we?
