Title: What will they think of next?
Post by: Nickbat on 09 March 2011, 19:30:30

After all the shoot 'em up games, it's a relief to see a game which requires some thought. But I still can't get round the notion that bridge-building is a very esoteric subject for a game. Still, I guess Meccano is no longer in vogue, so why not?

According to the blurb, The new "Bridge!" game lets you be a structural engineer and a construction manager in one"

It comes from the German software company, Aerosoft.

Update: I see you can also buy a fork-lift truck simulator. Now I'm getting all excited!  ;) ;) ;D

I'd say that Valves latest will be a very thoughtfull game.

That said I really like a good shooter, I have been playign Killzone 3 a lot recently
