In SimCity 5 News, it appears the game will not allow you to restore or delete your cities.
Wing Commander's Chris Roberts launched a crowdfunding campaign to create an ambitious new space sim called Star Citizen / Squadron 42.
Finally, Mechwarrior Online is going to open beta, giving everyone a chance to give the game a try.
