A city simulator with the addictive and self destructiveequivalent to heroine. The risk of leaving work, friends and family for this time consuming habbit is rather high. Has some minor problems running on Vista, but you wont care. Requires a decent amount of computer power, brain power and practice to successfully perfect a highly educated well funded city with sufficient transportation and low pollution with enough water, hospitals, fire departments and police stations to shut up those annoying advisors of yours that dont leave you alone until the problem is resolved.

When instead of focusing on battle and conquest in any combat-oriented RTS game, you spend the resources meticulously designing your own home base/town/castle. This is detrimental outside of single-player mode.
A build your empire type game where you are the mayor of a city, and slowly build it up from nothing to a busseling metropolis. There are 4 games in the sim city series, the latest being Sim City 4.
