SimCity Social finds a home on Facebook, destiny winks in approving fashion

Given that "City" is in the name, SimCity has always felt like a title in need of a social platform. Fast forward a score or so since its inception, and fate seems to have finally played out. SimCity Social was just announced at E3 today, bringing the heralded city-building simulator to a social network that's pushing a billion residents. The new game is being delivered courtesy of "a close collaboration between many talented people at Maxis and Playfish," and anxious gamers are told to expect "no set linear paths to follow." You'll be dealing with things like fires, crime and pollution, and will be able to make calls to help virtual cities take shape. You can hit the source link to get in-game items at launch -- or, you know, strive to become an actual mayor and make actual improvements in your community. No pressure.
